Trade has broken ftt^rre«oras . here 

 in the last few ■vfre^ks, wliile stock has 

 been scarce, ^tock obtainable also has 

 brought top-notch prices, prices, in fact, 

 unheard-of for this date, and still people 

 have bought' up everything eagerly. The 

 wholesalers have the advantage in one 

 way. They send in the stock and it is 

 for the retailers to explain to the pub- 

 lic the reason for the high prices. Boses 

 have been in fair crop with the growr 

 ers who are running them through the 

 winter, but some of the growers havQ 

 closed down their rose housea, which 

 has made stock scaree» It is almost im- 

 possible to get anything outside of the 

 regular lines. 



Carnations are scarce and high in 

 price. There is only a handful in the 

 market, so to speak. Lilies also are 

 on the short side. A few callas arrive. 

 Mums are a thing of the past. Sweet 

 peas are a little more plentiful. Vio- 

 lets are of good quality, but the supply 

 is limited. 



All the florists are of the opinion that 

 if we only had plenty of stock, much 

 business could be done. But it looks 

 as if we would have to make one dozen 

 roses go as far as two dozen at the same 

 price and similarly in other items.

Stock of all kinds has been short the 

 entire week. Cloudy weather has had 

 much to do with curtailing the supply. 

 The weather now is more favorable and 

 a few days of it surely will do wonders 

 in furnishing a supply. The continued 

 shortage is causing some uneasiness 

 about Christmas. The market will un- 

 doubtedly have to defend on shipments 

 from distant points Tor the holidays. 

 There also will be a shortage of holiday 

 pot plants, with the exception of prim- 

 roses, begonias and cherries. F. P. A.
