Fred E. Palmer, of Brookline, has an 

 extra fine house of cyclamens, also good

 particularly so. W. N. C.

The Market. 



The weather has been more like sum- 

 mer than autumn. This is responsible 

 for the market being congested with a 

 mass of all sorts of stock. Dahlias are 

 as fine as any seen this season and other 

 outdoor stock is plentiful. Cosmos is in 

 fine shape. There is not so much of this 

 being grown by florists, but in a ride 

 through the country cosmos is to be 

 seen in almost every yard, together with 

 dahlias and chrysanthemums, all in fine 

 form. While this lasts, naturally it has 

 its effect on the market. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are about at their height and some 

 outdoor stock seen is as fine as indoor 

 blooms. This affects the price of mums 

 all along the line. It would seem that 

 everyone went in for white this year, 

 as yellow and pink are quite scarce and 

 anyone who has good stock of these col- 

 ors has no trouble in disposing of it. 



Roses, while not plentiful, are good 

 and there are all that are needed for the 

 demand. Carnations are not in crop, 

 but there is not much demand for them.

There is plenty of asparagus on the 

 market and smilax can be had in any 

 quantity required. 



What the market needs more than 

 anything else is a good, heavy frost. 

 Last year at this time the flu was at its 

 worst and the death lists of the health 

 department averaged 300 to 400 a day. 

 This year, while a return was predicted, 

 up to this time it has not materialized, 

 yet last week the staff of the S. S. Pen- 

 nock Co. was crippled by sickness. J. J. 

 Perry was laid up with the grip, but is 

 on the job again. At the same time Mr.
