the various Harvard football games. 

 Carnations arc doing somewhat better 

 as their quality improves, and prices 

 now vary from $3 to $5 per hundred. 

 Eoses remain somewhat unwieldy in 

 number; they will not really come into 

 their own until the mum wave starts to 

 recede. 



Violets still remain slow sellers, al- 

 though they are not at all abundant. 

 Pansics arc exceptionally fine and move 

 at better prices than violets. For sweet 

 peas there is a good demand at higher 

 figures than a week ago. Calendulas go 

 somewhat sluggishly, as do bachelor's 

 buttons. Pink snapdragons sell well, 

 but Paper White narcissi, which could 

 not be retarded in so warm a fall, are 

 druggy. There arc not so many lilies, 

 but the call for these and callas is not 

 robust. 



Of cattlcyas the supply is declining 

 and prices show a slight hardening. A 

 good crop of cypripediums is now com- 

 ing in. Of bouvardia nice bunches of 

 several colors come in, the white selling 

 best. Good stock of such flowering 

 plants as chrysanthemums, cyclamens, 

 begonias and Erica melanthera are com- 

 ing in and the sale of these, berried 

 solanums, ferns and various foliage 

 plants is improving.

The first cold wave of the season hit 

 us on the night of November 12 and the 

 following day was the coldest on that 

 date recorde(l in Boston since 1883, with 

 a minimum of 20 degrees, and 5 degrees 

 lower in the suburbs. So mild had the 

 season been that a number of growers of 

 violets and carnations did not start fire 

 until November 12.
