The Market. 



There are still far too many flowers 

 arriving for the market to digest. Oc- 

 tober proved a phenomenally warm and 

 dry month to the end and the high tem- 

 perature sent all sorts of flowers in with 

 a rush and many of them were much 

 lacking in substance. A temporary 

 drop in temperature October 30 gave 

 hopes that the long-expected killing 

 frost had arrived. It more probably 

 came for many November 2, but so far 

 there have been none of "chill Novem- 

 ber's surly blasts to make fields and 

 forests bare," and we are still able to 

 cut cosmos, chrysanthemums, dahlias 

 and gladioli outdoors. There is unlikely 

 to be any snap in business until de- 

 cidedly cooler weather arrives. The 

 great number of flowers being peddled 

 on the streets goes to show what condi- 

 tions are. 



Chrysanthemums are in heavy supply 

 and some of the late sorts, such as Bon- 

 naffon, are already appearing. Prices 

 continue low and unprofitable, few 

 fancy flowers realizing over $3 per 

 dozen, and large quantities are moved 

 at ruinously low figures. Good pom- 

 pons are selling moderately well and 

 so are singles. The rose market is 

 weak and low prices are the rule for 

 all varieties. From present indications 

 many growers will be off crop for 

 Thanksgiving. Carnations in some 

 cases make $3, but a large number are 

 going at half this price. Some good 

 sweet peas are coming in and sell well. 



The demand for violets seems to be 

 feeble this season and, although sup- 

 plies are not large, they move with dif- 

 ficulty. Neither is there much demand 

 for lilies. Some good gladioli continue 

 to come in and also cosmos, dahlias and 

 other outdoor flowers, but sales on all 

 of these are slow. Paper White nar- 

 cissi are in earlier than they are needed, 

 but growers cannot hold them back. 

 A fair supply of bouvardia, especially 

 Humboldtii, is arriving, also some nice 

 hybrid nerines. Of orchids there is an 

 ample supply, chiefly Cattleya labiata,
