passed for this season and that the 

 shipments now on the road will be the 

 last. Express charges and waste can- 

 not be met when the local market is as 

 well supplied as now. 



Kose crops are light. Most of the 

 growers seem to have foreseen the pres- 

 ent condition of the market and to have 

 timed their crops to avoid the chrysan- 

 themum season. Nevertheless the sup- 

 ply is in excess of the demand, so that 

 prices have weakened. There are not 

 enough short roses to go around, even 

 with pompons competing for the funeral 

 work trade, but of the special, long, 

 fancy grades there are enough so that 

 prices are easy and values high. Beau- 

 ties are much less plentiful than re- 

 cently. The daily receipts clean up in 

 good shape. 



The supplies of carnations are increas- 

 ing daily and it is predicted by some 

 experienced observers that there will be 

 no further shortage this season, given 

 fair weather conditions. Violets also 

 are much more plentiful, referring spe- 

 cially to the doubles; there will be few 

 singles this season. Valley has gone 

 into the same class with Easter lilies, 

 not regularly obtainable. Such valley 

 as comes on the market is held at 20 

 cents per spike, a price hitherto un- 

 known. Orders for cattleyas can be 

 filled if wants are made known a day 

 in advance; the supply is not yet large 

 enough to have them continuousry on 

 hand. Sweet peas are much more plen- 

 tiful but scarcely conntafyetr.

 that ferns will cost 50 cents per thou-

The October Anniversaries. 



When you see a vase of flowers on 

 a florist's desk, especially if the month 

 is October, it is running no great risk 

 to congratulate him on a birthday an- 

 niversary. Here are some of those in 



the trade who passed another milestone 

 this month.
