The Market. 



The cut liower market continues dull, 

 in si)ite of a rather scant supply. If 

 the demand were anything ne;ir normal, 

 buyers would face a scarcity. The ap- 

 proach of the liolidays is occasioning 

 many retailers anxiety as to the prices 

 they will have to pay for Christmas 

 suj)plies, an anxiety which no one seems 

 able to relieve. The plantsmeu have all 

 accomjilished a good holiday business, 

 and the surplus is expected to" be exceed- 

 ingly light. A few cut poinsettias seen 

 in the market serve to remind the trade 

 that Christmas is at hand and that 

 about ends their j)resent usefulness, as 

 they do not attract a demand for them. 

 Berried twigs and green goods are 

 jirominent in the olferings of the su])ply 

 dealers, but no jtronounced demand for 

 tliem has as yet set in. There appears 

 to be a waiting jicdicy generally i<l> 

 served, which, no doubt, means ;i rush 

 to come. 



Chrysanthemums in small c|ii;i iit it ic> 

 continue to arrive, but their indvcmiMit 

 is not active, except with tin' spr.iy 

 varieties, which appear to meet a fair 

 "lemand. Large (piantities of l';ipcr 

 White narcissi are arriving, and mucli 

 left-over stock from day to d.iy ,;iii 

 only be moved through ])rice conces 

 sions; the jirice range now is thrrc 

 bunches down to six for $1, with ,i trw 

 extra choice lots bringing 4n cents pn- 

 bunch. The Soleil d 'Or variety li,tiig> 

 tire at no cents per bunch. 8tevia .-ilsoi 

 is available in (]uantity, and some of' 

 the arrivals show unusually tiiic <pi;ility:' 

 from 35 cents ])er bunch down to tivc^ 

 bunches for^.fl is the price range 



The sui)ply of roses is not iiarticularly 

 heav.v, although there is a suflicieucy 

 i'>ryiv demand, and outside of the long- 

 stenimed varieties clearances are satis 

 factory. American Beauty is in some 

 ■what limited supplv, with i)riees uu 

 changed. Hybrid "teas are showing 

 midwinter (piality already, particularly 

 as concerns the varieties Premier and 

 Columbia; the nianv davs of dark 

 weather have had little effect on the 

 color of the former. 



Carnations are abundant, but the 

 quality expected at this season is not 

 evident. Dark weather has had an
