The Market. 



Little change is noted in tlie cut 

 flower market. The general demand is 

 away off from what might be expected 

 at this time of year. Retailers, whole- 

 salers and growers are at a loss to de- 

 fine the situation, which is different 

 from experiences of former years. 

 While there is a day-to-day movement 

 sufficient to clear a large portion of the 

 arrivals, concessions to effect a 

 clearance arc anything l)ut rare. Vio- 

 lets, a pet problem of the New York 

 market, are in season now and the 

 manipulation of arrivals is a matter of 

 concern to wholesalers. Certain whole- 

 salers, having in mind the Yale-Prince- 

 ton football game, sought to corral the 

 market, and visited the growers in the 

 Hudson district, guaranteeing .$2.50 per 

 thousand for their crops. This, know- 

 ingly, was an old game with some of 

 the older ones, and the more venturous 

 were chagrined when the prices were cut 

 to $1..')0, a price which was sufficient in 

 the circumstances, and the speculators 

 had a bunch of smelly stuff left on their 

 hands. If violets are to survive in the 

 daily demand for flowers, the specula- 

 tive interest must be curtailed. 



Roses of all kinds arc plentiful, and 

 clearance of arrivals is rather difficult. 

 The prices of last week are fairly well 

 maintained, in spite of a lethargic de- 

 mand. American Beauty is in good sup- 

 ply, and sj)ecial grades meet a fair de- 

 mand at from 2;") cents to 75 cents per 

 flower. Hybrid teas are not more plen- 

 tiful than the season might be expected 

 to ])roduce, but sales are slow at (luoted 

 prices. 



The supply of carnations is larger, 

 and the quality of arrivals is improv- 

 ing daily. The range of prices was, No- 

 vember 14, $1.50 to .$4, the higher figure 

 for selected stock. 



Cattleyas are not in great supply 

 and prices have receded consequent- 

 ly. The variety labiata is bringing $100 

 to .$125 per hundred, and hybrids are 

 commanding as much as .$2 per flower, 

 with stock and sales both limited. On- 

 cidiums are in good supply at 6 cents to 

 8 cents per floret. Cypripediums are 

 plentiful, moving slowly within a range 

 of $2 to $5 ])er dozen. 



White lilies continue on the scarce 

 side, and quotations are unchanged. 

 Lily of the valley has not gone above 

 the $(i mark for best grade, as quoted for 

 several weeks. White bouvardia and 



smine are available for wedding work, 



t meet only a small demand. 



Herbaceous material sells fairly well, 

 but there is not much choice now that 

 outdoor material is cut out. T'nder glass 

 products now are confined to a small
