 way from the middle of the end of the 

 house to the corners, and then along the 

 side walls, or under the side benches,

 satiafactory to use 1%-inch returns in 

 a house of this length, and in that case

The Market. 



During the last fortnight there has 

 been no sunshine, and both growers 

 and retailers have been worrying about 

 the Christmas stock. The sun has begun 

 to shine again and the hearts of the 

 florists are glad. The dull weather was 

 beginning to affect the color of the 

 flowers and pessimistic reports were 

 coming from the growers. However, 

 all that is changed and the present re- 

 ports show that there will be an abun- 

 dance of stock and the retailers can ar- 

 range for a big Christmas trade. 



Various Notes. 



As part of the scheme for the dispos- 

 ing of the Christmas stock, there vdll 

 be a general publicity campaign. Since 

 the larger florists will probably have no 

 difiiculty in disposing of all the stock, 

 the main idea is to assist the smaller 

 members of the club. The people have 

 the money and will spend it at Christ- 

 mas. The other trades are doing some 

 heavy advertising and the florists can- 

 not be behind in advocating gifts of 

 flowers at Christmas. Unless the people 

 are reminded, they are apt to forget and 

 buy something else.

 nie seed business, and C. S. Morrow.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. 



The Market. 



Mums still hold on, but the poor qual- 

 ity at present shows that the end is 

 near. The rose supply is in excess of the 

 demand, especially in the long grades. 

 The prices are good and the quality is 

 excellent. Ophelia, Dunlop, Hoosicr and 

 Columbia are the only varieties which 

 clean up at all, these bringing $10 to 

 $30 per hundred. Carnations are mov- 

 ing fairly well at $4 to $7 per hundred, 

 with the supply about equal to the de- 

 mand. The sweet pea supply is increas- 

 ing, but all that can be had move read- 

 ily. Pot plants are beginning to find 

 a good market. Cyclamens, begonias 

 and ferns are the big items at present.
