down, but still there was a sufficient 

 quantity to go around. Supply and de- 

 mand were more evenly balanced than 

 heretofore and firmer prices, with a 

 tendency towards higher figures, ob- 

 tained. Probably the most marked im- 

 provement took place in the condition 

 of carnations, a demand arising which 

 is almost as unexplainable as the long 

 period out of favor from which carna- 

 tions suffered after the first slight popu- 

 larity at the beginning of the season. 



Eoses in all varieties and lengths are 

 clearing well and at fairly good prices, 

 American Beauties continue scarce, but 

 what stock reaches the market is clear- 

 ing easily. Bussell is both the best and 

 most popular rose. Hoosier Beauty is 

 in light supply. There is an appreciably 

 better call for red, Bichmond and 

 Milady. 



Chrysanthemums are selling well at 

 good prices. The football game Novem- 

 ber 25, between Chicago and Minne- 

 sota, was probably in part responsible 

 for the ease with which it was possible 

 to move them the latter part of the 

 week. Bonnaffon and Chadwick were 

 and are the, best sellers. Pompons are 

 moving welt at improved prices. 



The supply of violets is short, while 

 a strong demand is manifest, bringing 

 the ' price up. Valley continues short 

 and is clearing well. Lilies are begin- 

 ning to move as white mums go down; 

 there is an ample supply. The supply 

 of Paper Whites has increased mate- 

 rially and stock is clearing well. Stevia 

 reaches the market in such ample sup- 

 ply it is moving rather slowly. 



All kinds of greens are scarce, and 

 no difficulty is found in moving the 

 supply which reaches the market. It is 

 probable that the long dry spell in the 

 south was injurious to the plumosus and 

 Sprengeri grown there. 



Various Notes. 

 Those who are wholesaling Paper 

 Whites at $2 per hundred have over- 

 looked the fact that at this year's 

 price for the bulbs the grower won't

get a new dollar for his old one at that 

 rate. 



According to J. H. McNeilly, busi- 

 ness is better than last year in spite 

 of the greltly increased competition 

 .along Eas^ Sixty-third street, but a 

 8uHv©iU5« interesting observation was 

 his remark that "we are getting petter 

 prices than last year, but we do not 

 have to pay as much at wholesale." 

 Mr. McNeilly says he rarely places an 

 advance order, taking his chances on 

 the turn of the market. 



Florists who make use of the new 

 6-Btory garage of the City Auto Park- 

 ing Co., on Michigan avenue, near the 

 market, find Archie Jackson, former 

 florist and son of A. V. Jackson, at the 



head of the institution. It is said that 

 H. Baushe is another of those interested 

 in it. 



According to A. F. Keenan, who con- 

 ducts two stores a block apart on Sixty- 

 third street, Christmas is a gamble and 

 Easter a fair certainty. He asserts 

 that the extent and character of the 

 Christmas demand are impossible to 

 forecast because all lines of trade make 

 an appeal, but Easter can be figured 

 on with assurance that the buyers' 

 thoughts will be concentrated on only 

 two lines, clothes and flowers.
