The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade was quite satis- 

 factory this year, despite conditions 

 that seemed to indicate the opposite. 

 All stock sold well, although the 

 weather was well above the freezing 

 point and the sky was cloudless. Be- 

 cause of the clean-up and the good 

 prices on stock, there was nothing to 

 complain of. This seems to augur well 

 for the Christmas business. 



Roses were not plentiful; in fact, 

 hardly sufficient to take care of the 

 demand and consequently the hardest 

 to obtain. The quality of the rose cut 

 was good and the stock was well worth 

 all it brought. Carnations were in 

 good supply and the stock was cleaned 

 up with no difficulty. Prices ranged 

 from $3 to $4 and the entire supply 

 was moved each day without any bar- 

 gaining. 



Chrysanthemums were more than 

 plentiful for the Thanksgiving trade, 

 although the warm weather during the 

 previous weeks seemed to indicate that 

 the crop would just about be over by 

 that time. Early in the week there 

 was little hope of cleaning up at all, 

 but the stock was disposed of readily 

 toward the end and November 30 late 

 comers had difficulty in getting what 

 they wanted. The clean-up helped the 

 returns on mums for the season to a 

 great extent, and, while mums will not 

 last much longer, the season for them 

 has been good. Chadwick and Bon- 

 naffon were the big sellers last week 

 and they were in excellent shape. 



Violets cleaned up fairly well and 

 prices remained steadily at from $1.25 

 to $1.50 per hundred. The quality was 

 much better than last year's and the 

 selling more satisfactory. There was 

 an exceptional demand for orchids and 

 an extra large cut of cattleyas cleaned 

 up so quickly that quite a "few orders 

 were turned down. Some exceptionally 

 fine stock was disposed of and the mar- 

 ket was firm at $9 per dozen. Valley, 

 of course, was almost unobtainable and 

 the stock that was to be had was of 

 poor quality. The sale of plants was 

 good and this seems to demonstrate 

 that plants are being used more freely 

 for every occasion. 



Various Notes. 



A. Sfhiller underwent an operation 

 for intestinal trouble November 20, at 

 St. Joseph's hospital. Some time ago 

 he submitted to a similar operation and 

 his condition was serious. He finally 

 recovered, however, and, while still
