The Market. 



It certainly is encouraging to be able 

 to note a great improvement in trade. 

 An advance in prices has taken place 

 on nearly all the items. Stock cleans 

 up Well. The quality has improved 

 more than the quantity has increased. 

 Boses are becoming better and more 

 plentiful. Eussell, Ophelia, Killarney 

 and Sunburst are mostly in demand. 



Carnation receipts are not much 

 heavier and the wholesalers experience 

 no diflSculty in moving the carnations 

 at a good price. Gladioli have dimin- 

 ished to such an extent that they are 

 no longer called for. Asters are yet 

 to be seen, but they are of poor quality. 

 Dahlias are still in great demand. 

 Easter lilies meet with a good market, 

 but there is an unusually short supply 

 of them. Chrysanthemums are now the 

 feature of the market, although the 

 situation remains uncertain. There are 

 a few of the early ones left and the 

 second lot is not yet ready for ship- 

 ment. Valley and orchids are in suf- 

 ficient supply to meet the demand. 

 Violets of a fair quality have made 

 their appearance. Greens of all kinds 

 move in a satisfactory manner. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Reichert, formerly at Jefferson 

 street, has moved to Main and Leroy 

 streets. A. E. 



ELIZABETH, N. J. 



J. E. and A. G. Hutchinson, 227 

 Broad street, report that business is 

 getting better, though collections are 

 still slow. As soon as the frosts have 

 killed all the outdoor flowers it is ex- 

 pected that there will be a noticeable in- 

 crease in business. 



James White, whose father has grown 

 flowers for many years in this city, and 

 whose grandfather was also engaged in 

 the same business, has opened a store 

 at Westfield avenue and Broad street. 



John Blakeley, 80 Broad street, still 

 gets a large amount of funeral work. 

 The first two weeks of October he had 

 several weddings and he has had an 

 occasional one since.
