This has been a rather peculiar season 

 for the florists. The early chrysanthe- 

 mums were late and the late ones were 

 early; the first carnation crop was 

 meager and the second came with the

 market. 



The supply for Thanksgiving is lim- 

 ited, but of good quality. Chrysanthe- 

 mums, in good condition, and roses,
