The Market. 



lieneral business conditions were ex- 

 cellent last week, the demand beinj; 

 larger than during any previous week 

 tliis season. Wedding and funeral or- 

 ders were numerous, and there was a 

 good call for decorations for social 

 affairs and homes. Flowers for the 

 sick room were in good demand. 



The supply has been equal to re- 

 quirements. The receipts of chrysan- 

 themums are increasing, and besides the 

 yellow and white varieties there are 

 some good double i)ink mums. Pom- 

 })ons are selling extremely well, espe- 

 vially for table decorations. Roses 

 have been in heavy demand, and many 

 are cut closely in order to fill all orders. 

 The miniature roses are taking well 

 this season. The frosts have done 

 :nvay with practically all outdoor flow- 

 ers, marigolds, zinnias and dahlias be- 

 ing about the only ones left. Carna- 

 tions are improving in quality, though 

 they still are short-stemmed and are 

 used chiefly for funeral work. They 

 are not so plentiful as they might be. 

 A large number of chrysanthemums are 

 being shipped in from California be- 

 cause of the lateness of the home-grown 

 stock. Pompons are included in these 

 shipments, and the quality is fine. 

 American Beauties are of good quality. 

 iJlies are meeting with a fine call; the 

 florists are glad to have them to fall 

 back on. Orchids and valley continue 

 scarce. Violets are arriving, but there 

 are not enougli to be reckoned with 

 as yet. The supi)ly of greens is normal 

 for the season of the year.
