You Osr\ Beat Randall's for ROSES

 greatest quantity.

Carnations moved up for Thanksgiv- 

 ing, but their time will not come until 

 the pompons are gone. Violets turned 

 unexpectedly scarce. Telegrams to the 

 Hudson river growing district brought 

 the information that the New York 

 market had come to life and that violets 

 were bringing $3 there, resulting in di- 

 verting most of the shipments, Cattle- 

 yas are in such concentrated control 

 that November 22 the price was pushed 

 as high as $3 per flower. Of course, only 

 a few can be sold at such a figure. Dark 

 weather has limited the sweet pea sup- 

 ply. There is enough valley, usually, 

 at the price. Lilies will be scarce until 

 late January. 



Paper Whites have come down. Their 

 action has been a disappointment to 

 many people and, unless conditions 

 change, it presages a much reduced de- 

 mand for the bulbs next season. If the 

 flowers do not net the grower 6 cents 

 this season, nothing but hope will keep 

 him at it next year. 



The growers have been complaining 

 in chorus the last few weeks. To hear 

 them tell it, none of them is making 

 anything. All their costs have risen, 

 especially for labor, and undeniably the 

 price of flowers is much lower than last 

 year. But there is a general feeling 

 that prices will improve as the mums go 

 off. The quantity of stock which has 



been sold shows the retailers as a body 

 are having a big season and it is be- 

 lieved by many that the gravy will 

 now be passed to the producers. 



Lord & Bumliam Qet Contract. 



The addition to the range of the 

 Weiss-Spandikow Co., Maywood, re- 

 ferred to in The Eeview for November 

 20, has since then been put under con- 

 tract. It is with the Lord & Burnham 

 Co. and calls for four iron-frame struc- 

 tures, each 70x400. Two are to be built 

 at once and two are optional, to be sub- 

 ject to call when wanted. 



These will be the first of this type of 

 house to be built within easy motoring
