ties are up to $5 per dozen. Fancy 

 Russells fetch $3 per dozen. Ophelia 

 and Sunburst are in good demand, as are 

 choice Killarney. This week •will see an 

 advance in price on all grades. 



Carnations are coming along nicely and 

 better quality of stock is shown daily in 

 Enchantress, Beacon, Ward, Philadel- 

 phia and White Enchantress. 



Orchids are up to $7.50 and $9 per 

 dozen; they are scarce, while demand is 

 large. Violet's are showing good color 

 and better stems; they bring 50 cents 

 per hundred and sell up clean. While 

 valley sells for $6 per hundred, the de- 

 mand has been quite large and the price 

 is likely to go up a cent next month. 



Sweet peas are starting to come in and 

 a good supply is looked for during De- 

 cember. Easter lilies are plentiful, with 

 rather light demand at present. 



Asparagus, smilax, galax, leucothoe and 

 flat ferns have daily good demand.
