NEW CROP FLOWER SEEDS 



propagating house planted with poin- 

 settias for cutting. They make a fine 

 showing. 



John Berger hopes to have some of 

 Stockton & Howe's new rose on ex- 

 hibition at the club meeting next Tues- 

 day. 



Among the visitors in the city were 

 O. J. Sawyer and Mrs. Sawyer, Allen- 

 town, Pa.; P. J, Quinlan, Syracuse, N. 

 Y.j Daniel Gorman, Williamsport, Pa.; 

 Harry Schroyer, Lancaster, Pa., and 

 the manager of the Fernery, Baltimore, 

 Md. 



Stockton & Howe, Princeton, N. J., 

 have a new rose of promise. It has a 

 rather long bud, of a pleasing shade of 

 pink, somewhat like Bridesmaid; tough, 

 leathery foliage and an unusually heavy 

 «tem give evidence of hybrid tea blood. 



T. N. Yates & Co. are cutting their 

 first Harrisii lilies from this season's 

 bulbs. They expect to have 10,000 flow- 

 ers for Christmas. 



Wm. J. Baker and Berger Bros, are 

 receiving some fine Eomans and Paper 

 Whites. Phil.

PITTSBURG. 



Atlanta, Ga. — In order to obtain the 

 larger floor space which their increasing 

 business demands. Otto Katzenstein & Co. 

 have removed to 35 Va West Alabama 

 street. 



The Market 



Business conditions were such last week 

 that it is not pleasant to write about 

 them. Almost every retailer sings the 

 same song. Outside of the few large 

 social affairs and funeral jobs, there 

 seemed to be nothing doing. Even the 

 street men were complaining, but all are 

 looking for Thanksgiving to start the 

 ball rolling. 



Among the wholesalers there has not 

 been quite so much complaint, although 

 there have been such quantities of chrys- 

 anthemums, lilies and tea roses that 

 prices were not considered if there was 

 an opportunity to get rid of the stock. 

 Violets seemed to have lost their pull, as 

 they were being sold in quantity at prices 

 which attracted the street men. 



Various Notes. 



.To have seen the shipments of ground 

 pine, boxwood and moss received by the 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. last week one 

 would have thought it was Christmas in- 

 stead of Thanksgiving that was ap- 

 proaching. 



Among the visitors were S. S. Pennock, 

 of Philadelphia; J. A. Peterson, of Cin- 

 cinnati; Martin Eeukauf, of Philadel- 



phia; Will Craig, with his new rose, Mrs. 

 Jardine, the flowers of which were well 

 received here by all. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. express them- 

 selves as well pleased with the change to 

 714 Penn avenue. Hoo-Hoo. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



A shortening up of supplies has been 

 in progress for the last few days. The 

 weather also has been overcast for a 

 week, which reduced the output of 

 flowers. There has not been any strik- 

 ing advance in prices, but better clear- 

 ances have been effected and Thanks- 

 giving prospects appear a little more 

 roseate. Unless an avalanche of flow- 

 ers appears on the market November 

 26 and 27, it looks as though trade 

 would be about equal to the normal. 



Boses continue to improve. Beauties 

 are advancing on the better grades. 

 Bride and Maid show little change. Kil- 

 larney is making better prices and 

 there promises to be a good call for the 

 best quality Richmond, Chatenay and 

 Wellesley. Liberty is little seen, hav- 

 ing been largely displaced by Rich- 

 mond. 



Carnations are of fine quality and
