case of Hadley, Crusader and Francis 

 Scott Key $25 was realized. 



A good many American Beauties came 

 in and sold from $25 to $50 per hundred, 

 more going for the former than the lat- 

 ter price. White roses, as usual, were 

 the slowest sellers. Carnations made 

 $6 to $8 for the best stock, but much 

 inferior material went at from $2 to $4. 

 Laddie made $10 to $12. More miser- 

 able carnations appeared than for years. 

 Sweet peas came in veritable shoals, 

 $2.50 to $3 being the top-notch prices, 

 and yellow daisies averaged about the 

 same. Gladioli of the best grades sold 

 for $2 to $2.50 per dozen. Callas and 

 lilies made only slight advances. 



Good colored ten weeks' stocks sold 

 well, but a lot of singles were hard to 

 move. Candytuft went a little slowly. 

 Much colored candytuft came in, but 

 little of it came to the wholesale mar- 

 kets. Those who got it on time made 

 jrood money. Double feverfew sold 

 fairly well and Gypsophila elcgaus went 

 remarkably well. No Dutch bulbous 

 stock appeared, except some belated 

 Darwin and cottage tulips. Lilac was 

 mostly on the wane, but some good 

 deutzia, outdoor valley, German iris 

 and other outdoor flowers were seen. For 

 asparagus there was a good demand. No 

 local peonies were in season, but some 

 were received from Philadelphia and 

 vicinity. 



The demand for orchids was not great. 

 A. good supply of Cattleya Mossiai ap- 

 peared. For these no great advances 

 were made. There were other seasonable 

 firchids. Outdoor valley proved better 

 than the forced article, although selling 

 lower. 



The demand for plants was excellent.

Geraniums were splendid sellers and for 

 those a sliortage already exists. 



Most of the retailors filled their win- 

 dows and a large part of their stores 

 with the usual extensive line of artifi- 

 cial wreaths. Tens of thousands of 

 these metal and wax tokens were han- 

 dled in department stores, meat mar- 

 kets, hardware stores, grocery stores, on 

 street stands and by undertakers. Great 

 numbers were being hawked around 



near tlie big cemeteries at low prices, 

 and a greater number than ever were 

 unsold. 



The most overdone fresh flowers this 

 year were snapdragons. God'l flowers 

 sold well, but a groat proportion looked 

 jaded. Many had twisted stems, and 

 flowers fell in showers when a bunch 

 was handled. The flowers were left too 

 long on the plants and such stock proved 

 almost unsalable.
