The Market. 



The market improved the week of De- 

 cember 5 to 10. The trading was brisk 

 in carnations and in short-stemmed 

 roses. It was fair in long-stemmed 

 roses, while it was dull with most of the 

 other flowers. Violets, valley, Sweet- 

 heart roses, sweet peas and gardenias 

 were dullest of all. 



Bright carnations like Laddie, Mrs. 

 Ward and reds are in active demand, 

 also some white. Enchantress is less 

 sought. The price on all good carna- 

 tions has advanced. The shorter grades 

 of roses are eagerly bought; the color 

 preferred is pink. All roses are a little 

 higher priced. At the close of l)usiness 

 Saturday, December 10, some pink roses 

 were bringing $6 to $8 j)cr hundred; 

 other colors were lower than pink. Some 

 long-stemmed roses brought liigher 

 figures than a week ago, but there was 

 less demand for them. 



Fancy chrysanthemums, like Chad- 

 wick, sold pretty well at from $4 a dozen 

 to $25 per hundred, as did selected 

 pompons and singles at from three 

 bunches for a dollar to $'2~> for 100 

 bunches, but the ordinary end-of-the- 

 season run of clirysanthemuins, both big 

 and little, were of little value, despite 

 much effort. 



The yellow narcissus, Soleil d 'Or, has 

 come, but neither yellow nor white nar- 

 cissi are selling well. 



The indications are that there will be 

 a good supply of flowers at Christmas.
