The Market. 



There are no great changes to be 

 noted in prices of cut flowers as com- 

 pared with a week ago. We have been 

 enjoying warm Indian summer weather, 

 more favorable for the rapid opening 

 of flowers than for the selling of them. 

 One or two light freezes have finished 

 tender flowers, like dahlias, in low or 

 exposed locations and, while they con- 

 tinue to bloom abundantly in many 

 places, they have now ceased to be a 

 market factor. Roses are in larger sup- 

 ply and the quality is particularly good 

 for the season. There are no particular 

 price changes in these to be noted. The 

 increasing supply of carnations moves 

 at from $2 to $4 per hundred. Stems 

 are a little longer and the flowers of 

 better size. Violets are seen, but as yet 

 only in small lots. Chrysanthemums are 

 more numerous and prices vary from as 

 low as $4 to $50 per hundred. Blooms 

 that reach the top price are few in 

 number and of gilt-edged quality. 



Lilies are not plentiful and hold up 

 well in price. Gladioli still come in and 

 the best realize $10 per hundred. As-

 cosmos is of indifferent quality. Some 

 nice lots of white bouvardia are coming 

 in. Valley is lower, except for fancy 

 stock, which holds up well. The supply 

 of cattleyas is on the increase and 

 prices have dropped to $12 to $15 per 

 dozen. Yellow oncidiums are less abun-
