The Market. 



Business last week was ratlier quiet, 

 according to reports, but this was not 

 considered unusual, as there generally 

 is a lull before the rush of Thanksgiv- 

 ing. The weather has been cold, and 

 thereby the quality of cut flowers is 

 much improved. Chrysanthemums are 

 of much better quality. The earlier 

 varieties are over and the best on the 

 market now are Eaton, Chadwick, 

 Golden Wedding, Dolly Dimple and 

 Bonnaffon. Prices are holding up well. 

 Pompons still are arriving in excellent 

 shape and are popular. Mum plants 

 continue to sell well. American Beau- 

 ties are on the scarce side, but the de- 

 mand is light. Koses are arriving in 

 much better condition. The leaders are 

 Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, 

 Shawyer, Killarney Brilliant and Sun- 

 burst. The miniature varieties are sell- 

 ing well. Carnations are larger and 

 the demand is improving. Lilies are 

 coming nicely; valley is in excellent 

 demand and of good quality. Orchids 

 arc plentiful and of good quality. 

 There are some sweet peas on the mar- 

 ket, of fine quality. 



Orders for Thanksgiving came in 

 well and all indications pointed to a 

 record business. A good supply of 

 mums, roses and carnations for the 

 holiday is assured. There also were 

 several good wedding orders booked for 

 the day. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey cut 400 orchids 

 November 20 for shipment to all parts 

 of the country. This firm now has six 

 houses devoted to orchids. 



The Doswell Floral Co. is receiving 

 some excellent Spencer sweet peas and 

 single violets from its greenhouses at 

 Lindenwood. The carnation crop also 

 is coming on nicely. Miss Doswell re- 

 ports business quiet, but orders are com- 

 ing in splendidly. 



The Flick Floral Co. has received a 

 large shipment of Scotch heather plants 

 from the Knight & Struck Co., New 

 York.
