The Market. 



Although the report is somewhat be- 

 lated, ])erhaps it should be recorded 

 that there was more business done in 

 the flower stores this Thanksgiving than 

 was the case for a number of years. 

 Stock was abundant in all varieties, 

 excej)t carnations, and most of the store- 

 keepers laid in all tiiey could manage to 

 hold. By evening there was hardly a 

 flower left, although fresh supplies were 

 brought in that morning. 



The a|>])arent oversupply of chrysan- 

 themums now has been cleaned u*!) and 

 good flowers are in demand at prices 

 that afford some margin of ])rofit to 

 the grower. The late varieties still to 

 come j)rori,ii.se to be remunerative. Car- 



,.u.at,Wi^ aic ;ipi, p.liaj.ti^>'I, iuid will be 

 •more 'iTi * rtoTTrrmft'from now on. Roses 



; are arri\ing of good quality and there 

 is gL go?Hl sale for them. Vjolets, most- 

 ly'jOolifornian, are selling fairly well. 

 They are not used so much in corsage 

 bou(|uets as in former years. There are 

 few snapdragons in the market, but 

 some excellent bouvardias are coming 

 in and are mucii used. Cy<damens, mums 

 and jirinuilas comjiose the bulk of the 

 ])ot plants. A few abnormal cinerarias 

 were seen last week. The supply of 

 ferns is abundant. 



Various Notes. 



Four years ago last Ai)ril the Misses 

 Risdon and Wagner, who occupied a 

 flower stand in front of the Savoy hotel, 

 were summarily ejected from their ]dace 

 of business, notwithstanding the fact 

 that their rent was ]iaid to the end of 

 the montli. The ]ieriod to elapse on 

 which they had i)aid rent included 

 1-aster, and of course the ladies were 

 ]ierturb('d ami lirought suit against the 

 ]iroj)rietor of tlie hotel. The law's de- 

 lays here are well exemplified, inasmuch 

 as the case was only Ijrought to trial 

 last week. The ]dainf'ifrs sued for .$2,000 

 an<l were awarded .tl,.')0(», which should 

 ])artly solace them for the annoyance 

 to which they were put. But to add to 

 the delay, the defemlant has appealed 

 the case, so it yet may be some time be- 

 fore the balm is finally a])plied.
