sold in other years at $4 to $6 per 

 dozoii. Shii)ments of mums were never 

 so large as at this date. They also are 

 two weeks ahead of schedule time. Grow- 

 ers are astonished at the low prices, but 

 wait for the later varieties and Thanks- 

 giving to see the prices soar. The big 

 pro-Hughes parade November 4 called 

 for thousands of yellow mums and 

 every retail window in New York and 

 Brooklyn is a "thing of beauty." The 

 big mum shows to be given in New 

 York this week should emphasize the 

 loveliness of the autumn queen. 



Roses are unlimited in quantity, and 

 their quality leaves nothing to be de- 

 sired, but there are too many of them 

 for retail requirements. The "side- 

 walk merchants" and department stores 

 reap the benefit of these conditions. 

 American Beauties hold their own and 

 are again running an even race with 

 Hadley. Prima Donna is fast improv- 

 ing and Francis Scott Key, Russell, 

 Mock and Lady Stanley are superb. 

 These deserve more appreciation than 

 they receive. 



Carnations do not sell above $2 per 

 hundred, and their quality improves 

 but slowly. The flowers liave to bo 

 exceptionally good to merit this figure. 

 Most of the arrivals sell at $10 per 

 thousand and under. 



Violets are larger, better colored and 

 advancing more slowly. Valley con- 

 tinues strong and the supply is light. 

 The top price now is $5 per hundred, 

 and the same figure is quoted for longi- 

 florum lilies. Orchids continue to hold 

 steady at .$.'!5 per hundred, a few choice 

 flowers realizing 40 cents. 



The Plantsmen's Tour. 



The New York and New Jersey Asso- 

 ciation of Plant Growers made its an- 

 nual tour of the Long Island growers 

 November 1, in five autos, and the per- 

 fect Indian-summer weather equaled

 visit was made to New Jersey growers.
