PHILADELPHIA. 



The Risins Eastern Market. 



Last week was a satisfactory one, a 

 great number of weddings and de- 

 butante teas calling for choice chrysan- 

 themums and roses, while the downtown 

 sections of the city had a good deal of 

 funeral work, caused by the wreck at 

 Atlantic City; all of which, with the 

 r^ular business, made a fairly busy 

 week. Toward the latter part, Beauties 

 shortened up and brought $4 a dozen 

 locally. The general tone of the market 

 was firm the last days of the week, there 

 being a nice clean-up. Violets are scarce, 

 and on Saturday, with the increased de- 

 mand, the market was left practically 

 bare. From now until the end of the 

 football season violets will be in good 

 demand, particularly on Saturdays. 

 Chrysanthemums are moving off a trifle 

 better than in former years. There are 

 some fine Timothy Eaton, yellow and 

 white, also Major Bonnatt'on and Col. 

 Appleton, and in the smaller varieties, 

 white and pink Ivory and white and pink 

 Baizley. There are a limited number of 



pompon chrysanthemums, which find a 

 ready sale. The cooler weather is mak- 

 ing an improvement in Brides and Maids, 

 and they are showing up much better, as 

 is also Killamey, the best bringing $10 

 per hundred. Carnations have been sell- 

 ing well, good Enchantress and Lawson 

 bringing $4 per hundred, other ordinary 

 kinds from $2 to $3. A few pansies are 

 coming in, and find a ready market. 



Hatboro. 



A visitor to Hatboro, to the green- 

 houses of E. Weiss, will see there some 

 of the finest carnations being sent this 

 year to the Philadelphia market. Mr. 

 Weiss has thirteen houses in all, eight 

 planted in carnations and five in Brides 

 and Maids in good condition. The vari- 

 eties of carnations grown are Enchant- 

 ress, Robert Craig, John E. Haines, 

 Lieut. Peary, white and pink Lawson, 

 and The Queen, which are disposed of by 

 Samuel Lilley, the able-bodied salesman. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report a large 

 demand for their goods, among which 

 will arrive shortly on the steamer Mar- 

 guette some baskets, moss, immortelles, 

 crepe paper, mats, etc. 



The Bouvardia Humboldti, mentioned 

 in this column two weeks ago, is grown 

 by L. Reuter, of Philadelphia, the grow- 

 er's name having been omitted through 

 an oversight. 



A. Campbell is showing a fine pink 

 chrysanthemum seedling, with a fine 

 flower, stem and color. It scored ninety- 

 five at a previous show. 



The chrysanthemum show this week, as 

 promised, has been the best yet, many 

 new varieties being shown. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 showing this week a fine assortment of 

 carnations and chrysanthemums. 



E. Bernheimer is still receiving fine 

 autumn foliage, thought to be over a 

 week ago. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The market continues in a satisfactory 

 and perfectly healthy condition. There 

 have been some fluctuations from day to 

 day, but on the whole these have been 

 of minor importance. We had a heavy 

 fall of snow last week, which cut off 

 some trade for a couple of days, and 

 another heavy storm this week, which in- 

 terfered with the usual number of people 

 getting out, but it is a safe assertion 

 that last month was as good an October 

 as the florists have had in some years. 



The quality of stock in all lines is 

 good. "While the influx of chrysanthe- 

 mums has curtailed the demand for roses 

 to some extent, it is not so noticeable. 

 Our flower buyers never drop American 

 Beauty roses altogether for chrysanthe-
