The Market. 



There has been a decided change in 

 the market. There is no longer the de- 

 mand for flowers there has been for the 

 last few weeks. With the temperature 

 about 80 degrees for several days, there 

 were more roses than could be handled, 

 and with the decrease in demand and 

 the increase in supply there was a slump 

 in the market. It is safe to say that 

 one-half of the roses that were cut were 

 not sold and found their way to the 

 dump. Chrysanthemums fared better. 

 They were well taken, especially the 

 medium sizes. The early varieties are 

 mostly over and the mid-season vari- 

 eties did not come in sufficient quantity 

 to flood the market. Outside pompons 

 could not be moved at any price. Only 

 a change in the weather with a heavy 

 frost will relieve the market of these. 

 White and yellow Turner are the prin- 

 cipal chrysanthemums on the market 

 at present. There are also some good 

 Major Bonnaffon, Marigold, pink and 

 white Chieftain, Charles Eager and Snow 

 Queen. Easter lilies are to be had again 

 in quantity, but they find little sale. 

 They seldom find much sale during the 

 chrysanthemum season. Carnations also 

 are more plentiful and have dropped in 

 price. There are some good quality 

 sweet peas to be had for so early in 

 the season, mostly in white and light 

 pink shades. The demand for these is 

 limited. 



Variotis Notes. 



There was not much in the way of 

 Halloween business this year, largely 

 due to the ban not having been lifted 

 in this city on account of the influenza 

 epidemic. Neither did the stores make 

 the usual Halloween displays. 



A number of the families and members 

 of the craft were stricken with influ- 

 enza. Fortunately, no fatalities were 

 reported. Stanley Holland and family 

 are ill with the disease. J. Harper 

 Hetherington and wife are both recov- 

 ering. Louis Bowdler is able to be about 

 again. Several members of the family 

 of George Lavelle were also stricken 

 with the disease, but are now improving. 



The October meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was called off on account of the 

 ban on social gatherings and meetings.
