The Market. 



Kxceedinyly <lull Tiailo h;is Ijorii tiit; 

 nile aiifl siyiis of bettonin'iii arc not yet 

 in sight. i'crli:i|)s with llu; passing of 

 the mums comlitions may improve; it is 

 '■ertainly a consuiiuiiation dcvoiitiy to be 

 wished. looses havi; fallen in vahie and 

 many of the smaller orailos are almost 

 uiven away. Some grand Hcanty. J^ieli- 

 mond and Kaiscriii were iiiitiMJ last 

 week, but priees are not I'oiinnensurate 

 with their rjuaiity. Carnations are fine 

 in quality and becoming too abundant 

 for the market needs. Top not(di price 

 is $3 per hundred and soini> lia\e been 

 ideared as low as .30 eeiits; of cours", 

 these latter were .small Howcrs. 



Chrysanthenmms still rule the market 

 hut will be less abundant after a few 

 days. Bonnallon and Ap])leton are pre- 

 dominant yellows. Some nice Duckhani, 

 Cheltoni ami other seasonable sorts are 

 also seen, while Eaton and its yellow 

 sport are arriving. Violets are good 

 but not sailing so well. Other flowers 

 do not eut mui-h figure ;it present in 

 the market. There is no change in as- 

 paragus, smilax or adiantnni. I'ot plants 

 '•ontinue to sell rather >;inul\ a^ rom- 

 jiared with last year.

Remember the club mivtiny Xovcm

 is one of the main attractions, but there 

 will be others. The Doccndicr meeting 

 will be ladies' night. 



We are glad to rejuirt that the two 

 wholesale markets have arranged to hold 

 an e.xhibition. It should be held in Hor- 

 ticultural hall, as ueith(>r of th(> markets 

 is suitable. We are sure the Massaehu- 

 sett.s Horticultural Society will be i)leased 

 to show all ])os,-iible courtesies. 



A few Paper White narcissi h.-ne niad<' 

 their appearance in the market. Some 

 dahlia.s also were scon, showing that frosi 

 has not visited every section even yet.
