stock, while there was a scarcity of the 

 better grades. Now the condition is 

 reversed. There has been a large in- 

 crease in the percentage of long stems. 

 Most of the wholesalers are able to 

 supply all the long roses that are 

 wanted, but are compelled to cut orders 

 for short stems. There has been some 

 increase in the price of the better 

 grades, but considerably more increase 

 in the value of shorts. There is no 

 change in the position of the varieties. 

 Premier, Columbia, Eussell and Ophelia 

 are the leaders. Two or three growers 

 are cutting good crops of Beauties and 

 these are selling exceptionally well. 



The chrysanthemum has practically 

 displaced the gladiolus and the aster. 

 Small quantities of both the summer 

 flowers are seen coming from localities 

 that have escaped the recent frosts, but 

 the autumn favorite now occupies sec- 

 ond place in the market. Three colors 

 are available in various sizes, from $2 

 to $5 per dozen being the range of 

 prices of shipping grades. Pompons are 

 more plentiful, but white is the pre- 

 vailing color. 



Carnations continue to increase in 

 supply, but the scarcity of short roses 

 has increased the demand, so that the 

 market is kept well cleaned up. Prices 

 have improved in proportion to the im- 

 provement in the quality of "the stock. 

 Double violets are here, but they are 

 not yet in special demand. It is said 

 there wall be few local singles this sea- 

 son, because the plants were so seri- 

 ously injured by the summer drought

before housing that several growers 

 cut down their space planted to violets. 



Valley has taken another turn to the 

 scarce side. The supply of last sea- 

 son's pips apparently is nearly ex- 

 hausted. The retailers complain that 

 they cannot use valley at 15 cents, at 

 which it has been held recently, but 

 they may note that in New York valley 

 is so scarce that it is held at 20 cents 

 to 30 cents for good stock. 



Cattleyas are more abundant. The 



best labiata still bring $1 to $1.50 per 

 flower, bnt small dark purple varieues 

 may be had at much lower prices. 

 Calendula has reappeared on the mar- 

 ket. Greens are in normal supply.
