The Market 



The close approach of Thanksgiving 

 has had the usual effect of stiffening val- 

 ues. An abundant supply of chrysanthe- 

 mums has been forthcoming since our 

 last report. Among other sorts in addi- 

 tion to those previously named are Gold 

 Mine, Chadwiek and some fine Jeanne 

 Nonin. The supply of these flowers will 

 probably last until Christmas, but they 

 will not cut much of a figure after the 

 present week. 



Carnations are now coming of much 

 finer quality, stems twenty-four to thirty 

 inches long being seen in some cases. As 

 usual, red are in best demand and whites 

 the least sought after. Boses are also 

 of excellent quality. Beauty, Liberty 

 and Eichmond have stiffened im price, 

 but other kinds have not made much ad- 

 vance. 



Violets have held at the dollar mark 

 for a few days. The big football games 

 caused a run on these and crimson flow- 

 ers November 24. A good supply of 

 Campbell is arriving, but these do not 

 sell so well as the singles, which quite 



outclass them in size, color and length of 

 stem. Callas are scarce and a small sup- 

 ply of Easter lilies is arriving. Scarlet 

 bouvardia has sold well, pink and white 

 more slowly. Paper Whites are not ar- 

 riving plentifully as yet. Lily of the 

 valley at the commission houses ia of 

 good quality and sufficient for all re- 

 quirements. Green stock remains about 

 the same. 



Various Notes. 



The chrysanthemums shown at the last 

 club meeting by Duncan Finlayson were 

 grown in 9-inch pots, each pot being 

 allowed to carry from six to ten flowers. 

 These were almost equal to exhibition 

 flowers and this method of culture should 

 commend itself to many who cannot 

 spare benchroom in summer. Mr. Fin- 

 layson 's pots are kept outdoors all sum- 

 mer. 



James Munroe, a well-known Beverly 

 gardener, died on November 22, after a 

 long illness, at the age of 78. Deceased 

 was employed by Amory A. Lawrence, a 

 well-known summer resident. 



John Macrae's new sport from Yel- 

 low Eaton chrysanthemum was exhibited 

 at the Park street flower market Novem-
