The greens situation remains "Un- 

 changed. Everything is plentiful, with 

 the exception of ferns, but prices are 

 up. Boxwood has made its appearance 

 on the market and meets with a good 

 call. 



October Business. 



The month of October made a new 

 record in this market, one which will 

 be hard to beat. Practically everyone 

 did more business than in any previous 

 October and a number of wholesalers 

 report the largest month's business ever 

 done, exceeding even December, which 

 for the last several years has been the 

 big month of the twelve. Some of the 

 increases are phenomenal, running up 

 to more than $1,000 for each day in 

 the month; the month's increase for 

 some of the larger houses not so long 

 ago would have been a good month's 

 business for any of them. 



The retailers also did a big business; 

 sales were large, but some of them 

 complain that the profits were not in 

 proportion, due to the high cost of 

 stock. ^

 degrees, or 4.2 degrees above normal 

 and 12.2 degrees over that of October, 

 1917. The highest temperature was 80 

 degrees October 5 and the lowest was 

 37 degrees October 31. The precipita- 

 tion for the month was 2.94 inches,
