PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



Tlie -week past has been a most satis- 

 factory one. Thanksgiving saw a gen- 

 eral clean-up in all kinds of choice stock. 

 The Army-Navy football game on Satur- 

 day made a great demand for violets 

 and yellow chrysanthemums. The first 

 german, in Baltimore on Monday, helped 

 the wholesalers, creating a great demand 

 for Beauties and other choice roses. 

 Roses of all kinds have advanced in 

 price, the best Brides and Maids bring- 

 ing $12 per hundred and a few selects 

 $15. .Kichmond was in especially good 

 demand, also Beauties, the market clean- 

 ing up nicely on this latter stock. Any- 

 thing good in carnations sold On sight, 

 especially the colored varieties. Steyia 

 has arrived, and makes a nice addition 

 to the list, A great number of cattleyas 

 have been used and are fine just now. 

 There are still some good chrysanthe- 

 mums coming in white Eaton, white and 

 yellow Jones and some fine Jeanne 

 Nonin, of which the Robert Craig Co. is 

 still cutting quite a number. Some small 

 bunch Ivory are arriving and find ready 

 sale for the cheaper grades of work. 

 A few of the new Gov. Herrick violets 

 grown by Mrs, Smith, of Secane, are 

 arriving, and demand a good price. Com- 

 mission-men are all congratulating them- 

 selves on the nice move-off of chrysanthe- 

 mums the latter part of the week. It 

 was thought that there would be a few 

 too many, but everything cleaned up in 

 fine shape. 



Various Notes. 



It is thought the exceptional shortage 

 in Beauties and other roses at this time 

 is due to the fact that every year the 

 growers aim to get their main crop at 

 Christmas. 



J, W. Young has so far recovered that 

 he is able to be about the greenhouse. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report the fol- 

 lowing visitors this week: Miss Ritter, 

 of Fitchburg, Mass., and George Seidel,

 tract for three houses 20x150 for George 

 B 'Tton, of Wvndmoor, Pa. ; also for one
