PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The market has broken so badly that 

 all the wholesalers feel that their best 

 efforts have been in vain. They have 

 tried every method that ingenuity could 

 suggest to dispose of the immense quan- 

 tities of flowers that have been placed 

 in their hands, with only moderate suc- 

 cess. The change in the weather has 

 reduced production. This leads to the 

 hope that before long supply and de- 

 mand will become more evenly bal- 

 anced; then a better market will come. 



An accurate report of the present 

 conditions is disheartening. Fine 

 weather and skillfnl culture have 

 brought in a vast quantity of well 

 grown chrysanthemums and ])ompons. 

 The demand has been so light that low 

 prices liave been realized on most of 

 the .stock — i)rices about one-third less 

 tlian value. Notiiing is scarce, save 

 possibly \'aiida cu'riilea and Asparagus 

 j)lumosus strings; neither of these 

 items nmouiits to iiiuiii in the sniii total 

 of business. Carnations have I'ajlen in 

 jirice. Roses iia\e recov «>red a tritle
