satisfactorily, which is unfortunate. 

 The power is not entirely in the hands 

 of the retailers, as they may wake up 

 and find out some fine morning. 



Conditions were a little better Octo- 

 ber 31, but the first day of November 

 found the markets badly clogged and 

 prices unreasonably low. Now is the 

 time for wide-awake retailers to let peo- 

 ple know that flowers are cheap and an- 

 nounce immense bargain sales, as in 

 other lines of industry, lias anyone no- 

 ticed this being done? Well, hardly. 

 Too many flowers are coming in for the 

 present methods of retail distribution. 

 Roses have declined considerably and 

 short-stemmed stock has again fallen 

 below the "dollar per hundred" mark. 

 Even Columbia, Premier, Butterfly and 

 other favorites have been on the to- 

 boggan. 



Carnations continue to increase in 

 numbers and the quality is now good. 

 Some fancies, like Laddie, make $4 to 

 $6 per hundred, but more ordinary 

 grades have gone as low as $1.50 to $2 

 }ier hundred. These are sluggish even 

 at these prices. Chrysanthemums now 

 dominate the market and will continue 

 to do so until December; prices have 

 fallen and nice flowers may now be had 

 as low as $4 per hundred. It is true 

 that some fancies have reached $6 

 per dozen, but they are few in numbers. 

 There are now a good many Roman 

 Gold, pink and white Chieftain and Bon- 

 naffon. The last-named is fine and 

 popular as ever. Sonic fancy Turners 

 have also come in. There is now a good 

 supply of both pompons and singles; so 

 far these have sold better than the large 

 disbudded flowers and must surely pay 

 the grower more. 



There arc sweet peas from several 

 growers. Some have excellent stems

and make $2 per hundred, but many are 

 rather poor and do not move well. Vio- 

 lets are poor and cheap. They are small, 

 of ])oor color and people do not seem 

 to want them. Some good pink snap- 

 dragon comes in and sells fairly well. 

 There arc no lilies and the few callas 

 arriving do not sell well. Recent frosts 

 have ])ractically done away with out- 

 door flowers, but some good indoor as- 

 ters come in. The best make $3 per hun- 

 dred. Gladioli straggle in still, but they 

 are poor. Some inside Lady Lenox cos-
