The MajTket. 



The business accomplished in the cut 

 flower markets last week was fair, al- 

 though considerable efifort was necessary 

 to move the supply, which was in excess 

 of demand. Outside material, such as 

 early-flowering chrysanthemums, dahlias 

 and other late flowers, continued to ar- 

 rive heavily, and checked the move- 

 ment of protected stock considerably. 

 Conditions at the opening of this week 

 were not changed, and it is expected 

 they will continue until there is a killing 

 frost, signs of which are entirely absent. 



Chrysanthemums are arriving in quan- 

 tity no greater than in other seasons, 

 but their movement is handicapped by 

 the large supply of excellent dahlia 

 blooms available, which, as retailers say, 

 furnish seekers for color effects plenty 

 of material at low prices. The supply 

 of gladiolus blooms has about ended, 

 although a few are straggling in. 



Eoses are not in oversupply by any 

 means, but the movement of arrivals is 

 slow, because of the other conditions. 

 Grades less than fancy have toppled a 

 little in price, shorts moving anything 

 but freely, while stock with good stems 

 is bringing prices near to those of last 

 week. White roses are particularly 

 scarce, and buyers wait for arrivals 

 to obtain requirements. About the only 

 white rose available is Double White 

 Killarney, and it is quite evident that 

 whites have been passed up by growers 

 generally. The quality of other hybrid 

 teas is good, and as the supply is hardly 

 normal, a diminution in the arrivals of 

 outside flowers may send quoted prices 

 up materially. American Beauty is in

good supply, and prices of special stock 

 seem to vary day by day. As it is grown 

 in less quantity than formerly, the de- 

 mand for this flower has a greater effect 

 on prices. 



The supply of carnations is increasing 

 weekly, and the quality is about that 

 expected at this time of year. Scarcity 

 of coal is largely responsible for poor 

 stock, night temperatures running as 

 low as 40 degrees quite often. 



Orchids are plentiful. Cattleyas are 



arriving in good quantity and meeting 

 a fair demnnd. White lilies are moving 

 slowly. Lilies of the valley are not at 

 all plentiful, but move slowly. Chrysan- 

 themums are dragging badly, few bring- 

 ing the higher prices. Violets are in 

 fair supply, but the weather is against 

 quality, and prices are hard to quote.
