The Market. J 



Trade is as good as we can hope for 

 at present, with stock a little on the 

 decUne. Mums are pretty well cleaned 

 up; while there have been great quan- 

 tities of them here, they have about all 

 found a ready market. For a few -days 

 there was a little glut on the market, but 

 outside of that they went readily. Car- 

 nations are arriving in fair quantities, 

 with quality good as a rule; stems are 

 getting better. 



Boses are a little shy at present and 

 there is no surplus at any time. Bussell 

 is improving in quality and other varie- 

 ties are good. The warm weather of a 

 short time ago brought on a heavy 

 cut and it will be difficult for some of 

 the growers to figure out another crop 

 for Christmas. 



Sweet peas move well, but there has 

 been no great quantity so far. Violets 

 move well and the quality is improving 

 as the season advances. Greens are 

 scarce and likely to be increasingly dif- 

 ficult to obtain. There are some fine 

 cyclamens to be had and they have been 

 moving well considering the date. There 

 is also some good Primula obconica com- 

 ing in. It looks as though the market 

 here will not have to depend on out-of- 

 town stock. Poinsettias are looking 

 promising for Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



T. J. Ludwig reports good business, 

 with stock a little scarce. 



S. F. Stephens & Son are cleaning up 

 their stock of mums as they are ready 

 to cut and it takes a great many for their 

 cemetery trade. 



Herman Kropp reports business good, 

 especially on funeral work. 



James McEellar was laid up a week 

 with a touch of the grip, but is on deck 

 again. He has with him now his brother, 

 Oliver, who has been in the army six 

 years on the Texas border. J. M.
