ments in mums crowded the wholesale 

 market almost daily. The excellent de- 

 mand for mums hardly left an impres- 

 sion when the morning sales were over. 

 Shipping trade in cut flowers has in- 

 creased greatly this season in this mar- 

 ket. The wholesalers have plenty of 

 advance orders for this week for any 

 flowers that are in season. 



In anticipation of Thanksgiving, 

 prices went up on all cut stock and a 

 great cut was expected in mums of all 

 kinds, as every grower consigning to 

 this market has doubled his mum crop 

 this year. This week we noticed fine 

 blooms of T. Eaton, Golden Wedding, 

 white and yellow Chadwick, Seidewitz, 

 a fine pink, and Dr. Enguehard. In pom- 

 pons there are many and all varieties 

 are in favor this year. 



The rose crop is off and hardly enough 

 came in last week to supply the demand, 

 according to our local growers. The 

 shortage in roses will be large for this 

 week. Premier is having the call over 

 Russell this season, only that Bussell 

 is more plentiful. Premier cleans up 

 daily and no doubt our local growers 

 will stock up on Premier next season 

 in place of Russell. Columbia sells 

 well for light pink and any variety in 

 red has a good demand. White Killar- 

 ney is the only white to be had at pres- 

 ent. Carnations seem off crop and con- 

 signments were not nearly enough for 

 demands. With plenty of funeral work, 

 as reported by the retailers last week, 

 all light colors had the call. 



The shortage in carnations and roses 

 should assist the growers in dispos- 

 ing of the especially big crop of mums 

 that will be consigned to this market 

 this week. Violets, too, have been 

 somewhat short of the demand. This 

 cool, bright weather should be beneficial 

 in producing a large crop. 



Sweet peas are still in light supply, 

 but each week should improve the sup- 

 ply and from reports of our local grow- 

 ers there should be the largest crop in 

 years this season. Orchids have been 

 more plentiful this week and the de- 

 mand good at $18 per dozen. Valley 

 and lilies continue scarce in this mar- 

 ket. Narcissi, both white and yellow,
