 the occasion. 



Christmas trees are coming. This year 

 New Brunswick will demonstrate its

Thanksgiving Trade. 



Reports from both wholesalers and 

 retailers indicate that while there was, 

 everything being considered, a good 

 flower market for Thanksgiving, it did 

 not nearly approximate that of a year 

 ago. The wholesalers sold out much 

 better than the retailers, some of the 

 latter having a good deal of stock left 

 on hand. Prices averaged lower all 

 around than a year ago. In roses, the 

 top price on Beauties was $4 a dozen; 

 best quality Brides and Maids brought 

 $8 to $10, few selling higher. A good 

 many cleared at $4 to $5, the short stems 

 making $1, There were not many Rich- 

 mond, but some nice Wellesley, Killarney 

 and Chatenay arrived. Prices on these 

 did not advance much. Carnations were 

 in heavy supply and sold at a wide 

 range in prices. A few extra fancies 

 made $5, but as a rule $4 was the top 

 price on scarlets, crimsons and the En- 

 chantress varieties. The ruling price 

 on good stock was $2.50 to $3 per hun- 

 dred in large lots, a few selling lower. 



Violets were of fine quality. A f#w 

 made $1, but more sold at from 60 

 cents to 75 cents per hundred. Lily 

 of the valley varied from $1 to $4 per 

 hundred, according to quality, more ar- 

 riving than the market called for. East- 

 er lilies and callas made $2 per dozen, 

 but were not abundant. Chrysanthe- 

 mums varied all the way from $4 to $20 

 per hundred, the higher prices being for 

 best quality Eaton, Maud Dean and 

 Nonin. The top figures reached were 

 $4 per dozen. Some good bouvardia, 

 mignonette and snapdragon were seen. 

 Paper Whites were plentiful, but sold 

 well. Green stock was in moderate re- 

 quest. 



The wholesalers attribute lower prices 

 in some part to the action of selling 

 agents, who telephoned buyers in other 

 cities, oflfcring to sell them flowers at
