The Market. 



Trade is improving right along, but 

 businesa is' not brisk, by any means. 

 Cold weather has made asters rather 

 scarce and also poor in quality. Roses 

 are good in quality, but Killarney, 

 White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 Taft and Milady all are in light supply. 

 Gladioli are scarce and cut hydrangeas 

 are taking their place. Valley is good. 

 There still are few carnations and it is 

 questionable how soon they will be in 

 the market. Beauties are good and 

 selling at a reasonable figure. Cut flow- 

 ers of all kinds were unusually scarce 

 September 20, due to the cold, cloudy 

 weather. Boston ferns, palms and 

 green goods of all kinds are in demand. 

 Fall openings made trade brisk. There 

 has been some funeral work, but noth- 

 ing startling. Baskets of cut flowers 

 arranged in water are selling well.
