\ 



past six months has been most satis- 

 factory. 



The Highland Eose Co., of Morton, is 

 sending some fine valley to the Philadel- 

 phia Cut Flower Co. 



The decorators report a number of 

 weddings last week and have kept the 

 force busy. 



Pennock Bros, had an attractive win- 

 dow of pompon chrysanthemums, bronze 

 and yellow. It was much admired. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons made good use 

 of choice stock last week in their deco- 

 rations. 



A visit to the Chestnut Hill Beauty 

 growers shows that the stock is in a 

 promising condition, but they are hop- 

 ing for cooler weather to harden the 

 stock for flowering in January and Feb- 

 ruary. 



John Burton has some of the finest 

 cypripedium plants in the country, some 

 having as many as forty blooms to the 

 plant. 



J. Stern & Co. are now established in 

 their new quarters and report a bright 

 business outlook. Phil. 



NEV YORK. 



The Market. 



The "good time coming" so long 

 seems to have at last materialized. Last 

 week closed most encouragingly, with 

 values rising and no apparent fear of 

 any further depression. I predict a 

 steady market, gradually and naturally 

 increasing in buoyancy and volume until 

 Thanksgiving. 



There still are plenty of mums, but a 

 large proportion of them are of good 

 quality and command good prices. The 

 common stock of chrysanthemums has de- 

 creased in quantity and is no longer a 

 menace. Some grand Enguehard, Chad- 

 wick, Bonnaffon and Duckham have com- 

 manded $4 to $5 a dozen and a large 

 shipment to John Young, of Gold Mine, 

 from the establishments of John & Rob- 

 ert Leach on Saturday evening was com- 

 pletely sold out at $6 a dozen. I have 

 not seen a finer or more uniform ship- 

 ment this season. Every flower was per- 

 fect. All the wholesale houses have been 

 crowded and are yet with grand stock. 

 No year has ever equaled this in quan- 

 tity and quality, and the end is not yet.

There will be enough and to spare until 

 after Thanksgiving, and some of the 

 wholesalers announce assured receipts 

 right up to Christmas. 



Beauties made a move in the right 

 direction as the week closed, some spe- 

 cials touching $40 per hundred, and all 

 grades advancing. Brides and Maids are 

 abundant, and there was but a slight in- 

 crease in quotations. 



Carnations improve in stem and size, 

 and prices are somewhat better, espe- 

 cially for the fancies and novelties. Of 

 the latter there are now so many that it 

 is hard to name a favorite. For the 

 fancy grade of valley $4 per hundred is 

 top, and little stock arriving is worth it; 

 $5 quotations are fictitious; $2 to $3 is 

 the regular rate. 



Orchids are in constant demand, and 



all that reach the New York market find 

 ready buyers locally or are shipped to 

 other cities. McManus's November bul- 

 letin expresses clearly the situation. 

 Cyps again are on deck and many are 

 handling them. 



At last the modest and humiliated vio- 

 let has its second wind or its second 

 crop. At any rate, in beauty, perfume 

 and price "the melancholy days" are 

 over. One dollar to $1.25 was easy Sat- 

 urday and some fine specials commanded 

 $1.50. Here and there the tide swept 

 even a little higher. It was claimed, 

 though, $1.50 will do for top until 

 Thanksgiving. The supply was insuflB- 

 cient.
