The Market. 



Cool weather has brought an improve- 

 ment in the cut flower market. There 

 are not nearly so many flowers in town 

 and the demand is stronger. Asters and 

 gladioli are about done for, although 

 there will be some of both for a time. 

 Dahlias are plentiful, but there are a 

 good many dahlias that do not rank as 

 first-class and so fail to find favor with 

 the buyers. Good dahlias are in de- 

 mand at , fair prices; some of the 

 fancies even bring fancy prices. There 

 is a great variety of roses, greater than 

 usual. It can no longer be charged that 

 the growers confine their efforts to a 

 single variety of each color; there are 

 any number of pinks and a good many 

 reds, several yellows and some fancies. 

 White is the only color not represented 

 by many varieties. The prices of roses 

 have advanced a little. 



Carnations show decided improve- 

 ment, Gorgeous, Mrs. C. W. Ward and 

 several other fancies having moved up 

 to $3 per hundred. The stems have 

 lengthened sufficiently on other vari- 

 eties to make them more desirable. 

 Orchids are exceedingly plentiful, 

 especially Cattleya labiata and the 

 spray oncidiums. Everyone seems to 

 be on crop, so that there are more than 

 the market will take readily. Easter 

 lilies are fine and sell well. 



There are a few gardenias and plenty 

 of good valley. Chrysanthemums can 

 now be had in pink as well as in white 

 and yellow; that is, they can be had by 

 hustling, for only the yellows are at 

 all plentiful. The odds and ends of 

 indoor and outdoor flowers formed an 

 important item of the cut flower list 

 last week.

It is asserted, confidently, that the 

 new fern, Nephrolepis John Wana- 

 maker, will have a great run during 

 October. Deservedly so, for this new 

 variety is considered by good judges 

 to have merit of a high order. A fern 

 that combines the vigor and freedom 

 of the narrow-leaved type of its family 

 with the grace and beauty of the 

 crested type, has a future. The history 

 of this family is rather curious. For

ages it was an erect fern, but twenty- 

 five years or so ago came the drooping, 

 so-called Boston type, with its endless 

 sports. A halt has been called on these 

 sports until now they have become 

 rarer. But here is a variety that 

 makes fronds faster than any save 

 Teddy, Jr., and has durability and 

 beauty to boot. Small wonder that the 

 Craigs are enthusiastic about it!
