There seems to be a dearth of retail 

 demand for anything but the barest 

 necessit i(^s. ^fost of the ros(>s arriving 

 are second and third grade. The few 

 lir»it (dass Beauties and novelties are 

 siia]i]ied up on arrival. For the rest 

 there is no jiriee <|Uotation jiossible. 

 One lot of a thousand roses sold Satin- 

 day for a dollar. Boxes of roses sold 

 all week for a dollar apiece in some 

 wholesale houses. For roses and carna- 

 tions, 10 cents per dozen was the win- 

 dow announcement in the department 

 stores. Doubtless before the month 

 eiiils ><toid< will be scarce aiol jirices 

 steadier. 



.\steis ai(> here again, and eiioriiioiis 

 shipment- of gladioli. Onlv Ameiii'a. 

 seemingly, is appreciated; the mo-t id' 

 tli(> othei- \arieties go at 5(1 cents per 

 hiindieil. ( ainat inns wore almost gi\en 

 aw.ay un Saturday. 5(> cents per hnn 

 died w;i< top and iiin-t ot' the stOid< 



dragged ;it $L'.."iii jum- thousand. There 

 was little nf it salable e\en at sn low 

 a figure. 



The best price ipioted for lilies was 

 .■^•'l per hundred, but only a few of the 

 best tiimhed this figure; %'l^ per thou- 

 sand was the general standard of \ alne. 

 \'alley ran an even race with lilies in 

 price, but the demand for it is waning, 

 (tjcliids are abuiulaiit and prices lowi-i. 

 There is no limit to the sweet J>ea sup 

 ply. and there are plmty of water lilies, 

 daisies and the other seasonable flowers. 



Retail windows are not alluring. 

 Most nf them have only palm and fern 

 decorations. Tlie holiday season setMiis 

 to be ri^i'eixing universal recognition.
