The Market 



The market last week was good. 

 Since chrysanthemums are almost gone, 

 the demand for them seems to increase. 

 Pink varieties have been especially 

 scarce. Chrysanthemums have been 

 used more this season for funeral work 

 than during any previous year. Carna- 

 tions are scarce. Narcissi, Roman hya- 

 cinths and stevia are coming in more 

 plentifully, and they help out in making 

 up funeral designs especially. Eoses are 

 of good quality and find ready sale. 

 American Beauties are scarce and much 

 higher in price. Deutsche Pearl azaleas 

 are making their* appearance. All of 

 the early varieties are showing color and 

 will no doubt be ready in time for 

 Christmas. 



Indications are that carnations will 

 not be plentiful for the holidays; they 

 will be a little late with most of the 

 growers. Poinsettias will be more plen- 

 tiful this year. Several of the growers 

 are raising a good many, and they are 

 looking fine. 



Although it is a little late to report 

 for Thanksgiving, we will say that the 

 trade on that day was dull. It rained 

 nearly all day; consequently few buyers 

 came out. Had it not been for the good 

 sales that were made the day before it 

 would have been almost a failure. "We 

 noticed that potted plants were more in 

 demand than in previous years. 



Variouf Notes. 



Edward Tonquest, who was in Colo- 

 rado last summer for his health, spent 

 a few weeks here with friends, but re- 

 turned last week to Canyon City, Colo. 



G. P. Kaupp, from Nevada, Mo., spent 

 a few days visiting the craft here. He 

 says that his carnations are looking fine. 

 He rebuilt his whole plant and now has 

 a fine set of new houses. He also grows 

 some fine lettuce, besides geraniums, of 

 which he ships a good many to neighbor- 

 ing towns. Mr. Kaupp has been quite 

 successful, and he has the best wishes 

 of all the florists. 



Samuel Murray, the Lorraine begonia 

 king, has a house of the finest Gloire 

 de Lorraines in the city. Some are in 

 10 and 12-inch pots. This is certainly a 

 sight worth seeing. 



E. C. Keck, from Washington, la., was 

 in this city last week, visiting. He 

 grows quite a lot of carnations, and 

 was also looking for a new market to 

 ship them to. W. H. H.
