The Market. 



Since Thanksgiving business has been 

 moving along in a quiet sort of way, 

 with nothing unusual to turn it one way 

 or the other. The demand has been only 

 fair and scarcely up to last year. Prices 

 on an average, too, are below last year. 



The supply of stock is all that can be 

 desired. Roses are in most cases of fine 

 quality and in excess of the demand. 

 Beauties and other red roses are still 

 short but there are hopes of a good sup- 

 ply soon. There has been considerable 

 call for Chatenay lately and many orders 

 for this rose could not be filled. Some 

 very fine carnations are to be had but 

 there are none too many of them. Vio- 

 lets of good quality are first class prop- 

 erty. The best bring $1.50. The cheaper 

 grades do not go so well and some are 

 hard to move at any price. Mums are 

 Btill coming but very few large ones are 

 Been. They are selling fairly well. Other 

 stock is about equal to the demand. 



The wholesale houses are indulging in 

 the luxury of a cut price war on greens. 

 Eaatem ferns have been cut down to 15 

 cents per hundred, $1.50 per thousand. 

 Galax, both green and bronze, goes at 75 

 cents peif thousand, and leucothoe sprays 

 at 50 cents per hundred. At these prices 

 there is very little more than glory in 

 handling them. 



Variotu Notes. 



B. Witterstaetter brought in some of 

 his seedlings the other day and it would 

 do some of our carnation specialists good 

 to see them. Among them was 1021 B, 

 measuring three and three-fourths inches, 

 of a beautiful shade of pink. This vari- 

 ety has already received a certificate. 

 Valentine is a magnificent light pink 

 which made its presence felt at the De- 

 troit exhibition last year. Improved 

 Lawsou is a beauty of dark pink color. 

 Lillian May, which will be Mr. Witter- 

 staetter 's next introduction, is a white 

 that will be worth watching. Afterglow 

 api>ear8 to be a first-class commercial 

 variety. The color is between Fiancee 

 and liwson. The Cardinal was also do- 

 ing fine.

James Hartshorne was in the city this 

 week and he brought a vase of Fiancee. 

 It was placed in the window of W. K. 

 Partridge's store and attracted consider- 

 able attention. 



Hardesty & Co. have opened a store 

 in Lexington, J. O. Williams in charge. 

 The best of success is prophesied for 

 the new undertaking. 



The store of L. F. Benson, of New-

 last week, loss fully covered by insur- 

 ance.
