The Market. 



The supply of cut flowers diminished 

 considerably during the last few days. 

 Dark weather has probably reduced pro- 

 duction in some degree, but many grow- 

 ers are now holding flowers back for 

 the holidays, as in former years. While 

 supplies are much reduced, prices have 

 advanced sharply. The demand at pre- 

 vailing prices is, however, compara- 

 tively small. In the case of roses the 

 cut is not large, but growers hope to 

 have a large Christmas crop. Short- 

 stemmed stock has advanced to $8 to 

 $10, with other grades running up to 

 $25 and $30, and some fancies, like Had- 

 ley, Columbia, Russell and Premier, a 

 little higher. The call for -whites, which 

 was quite strong for some weeks, has 

 dropped off and this color is now in- 

 clined to drag in its sales. 



Carnations are coming into their own 

 and have more than doubled the prices 

 of a week ago, $10 to $12 being present 

 quotations, with $16 and $20 as probable 

 Christmas figures. Matchless is more 

 in evidence than any other variety and 

 does not move at as lively a gait as 

 the colored varieties. Violets are being 

 mostly held back for the holidays and 

 are sold at $3. Pansies sell quickly, 

 with fancies realizing $4 to $5. Callas 

 sell readily at $24 to $32 per hundred. 

 Lilies are not seen at all. There are 

 larger offerings of Spencer sweet peas, 

 but the demand is good at $2 to $4 per 

 hundred. Yellow marguerites are not 

 plentiful. The best sell at $4 to $6 per 

 hundred, with bachelor's buttons at $2. 



A little cosmos still comes in, but 

 moves slowly. Paper Whites sell at $6 

 and stevia is now offered abundantly 

 at 35 to 50 cents a bunch. Small lots of 

 freesias are expected next week, but no 

 Dutch bulbous stock is likely to appear 

 until after the holidays. Small lots of 

 late mums sell at $24 to $30 per hundred 

 and pompons are easily sold. 



Lily of the valley is offered at $20 

 per hundred. White bouvardia is less 

 plentiful and sells out quickly. Cat- 

 tleyas are decidedly scarce and dear, but 

 there are fair supplies of cypripediums 

 and some zygopetalums and Lselia an- 

 ceps. The abundance of stevia tempo- 

 rarily affects the sale of asparagus. 

 There is a large call for holly and other 

 greenery. Holly is Well berried, but in 

 comparatively small supply. Trade in 

 pot plants with the retailers is good and 

 "wholesalers are already well sold out of 

 all good stock. Cyclamens especially
