Jerome Jones, yellow and white. In- 

 quiry as to whether chrysanthemums will 

 last until Christmas elicited the response 

 that they will unless they can be sold 

 sooner, which fairly sums up the case. 



Poinaettias have made their apjtoar- 

 ance; the stock is unusually fine and 



I)lentiful. A feature of the market has 

 !)eon the extraordinary scarcity of lilies 

 of the valley, due, it was stated by the 

 S. S, Pennock-Meehan Co., to an unex- 

 pected falling off in the supply, which 

 will be overcome in a few days. While 

 tliis scarcity lasted, ordinary stock was 



eagerly taken by buyers who generally 

 demand the best. 



Cattleyas, cypripediums, dendrobiums 

 and mixed orchids are in good supply 

 and sell readily. Gardenias are extra- 

 ordinarily scarce, the supply being al- 

 most nil, although we are promised heav- 

 ier shipments shortly. Mignonette is an- 

 other scarce commodity. It is said to 

 be late, and it is understood that it has 

 not always been profitable to the grow- 

 ers in past seasons. The present prices 

 ought to satisfy anyone who knows how 

 to handle it. Komans are in good de- 

 mand, but Paper Whites sell slowly, al- 

 though fine. There has been an im- 

 provement in the demand for adiantum 

 fronds. Asparagus plumosus is selling 

 better than A. Sprengeri. 



Christmas Prospects. 

 Indications for the holidays point to 

 an unusually fine stock of American 

 Beauties, Bride and Bridemaid roses, 

 at prices that good judges believe will 

 be .ibout the same as those of last sea- 

 son. There will be more red roses than 

 last season, Liberty being reinforced by 

 additional plantings of Richmond. It is 

 probable, however, that the demand will 

 consume the entire stock at fair prices, 

 as there have never been enough red 

 roses during the holidays. Poinsettia, 

 the Christmas flower, though perhaps it 

 is more accurate to say bract, promises 

 to give ample opportunity for Christmas 

 decorations, for it will be more plenti- 

 ful and better than ever before. Violets 

 promise to be plentiful if the weather 

 gives them only half a chance, and in- 

 dications point to. moderate prices on 

 these dainty flowers. The prospects or 

 heavy gardenia crops, so bright in No-
