certain figures, thus preventing much 

 rise in prices. Although prices were 

 lower all around, flowers cleared out 

 pretty well and business was fully as 

 good as could have been expected. 



The market has remained fairly good 

 since Thanksgiving. Roses are a trifle 

 slow, but carnations are holding up well. 

 Very ordinary flowers made $3 per hun- 

 dred November 30. Violets are also 

 clearing moderately well. Quite a few 

 mums are still arriving, but some have 

 a decidedly ancient and pickled ap- 

 pearance. Prices on these keep fairly 

 firm. Quite a little stevia, Paper White 

 narcissi and Roman hyacinths are com- 

 ing in. Cypripedium insigne is now be- 

 eoming quite plentiful. There is no spec- 

 ial social activity to stimulate trade, 

 and conditions will probably remain dull 

 until Christmas. 



Various Notes. 

 Peirce Bros., of Waltham, are still 

 marketing quantities of chrysanthemums, 

 including some fine Golden Dome. This 

 variety, by the way, grows tall and has 

 too much of a neck to suit commercial 

 growers. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 landscape classes opened for the winter 

 session December 3, with good attend- 

 ances. Ladies' night, December 17, at 



Vention The Revlt-w when you write. 



the regular monthly meeting, will attract 

 the largest attendance of the year, 



Welch Bros, report a good Thanks- 

 giving trade. Prices ruled lower than 

 in 1906, but there was a good demand. 

 Considering that all other lines of busi- 

 ness complain of depressed trade, they 

 are well pleased with their sales. 



Do not forget the club field day at 

 Framingham, Saturday, December 14. 

 The journey will be made by Boston 

 and Worcestei; electrics. 



Our first real snow storm of the sea- 

 son arrived December 1, when we got a 

 comfortable coating of the fleecy mantle. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. report much 

 heavier cmt flower trade for Thanks- 

 giving than a year ago, with lower prices. 

 They are preparing for a heavy holiday 

 trade in evergreen wreathing and other 

 supplies. 



W. W. Edgar is reported as critically 



S. J. Goddard is somewhat better. He 

 will provide a free electric car to Fram- 

 ingham for the club's field day, Decem- 

 ber 14. 



Boston bulb dealers have been more 

 fortunate than those in some other cities 

 this season. Stocks left over are small.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



Thanksgiving was truly named, both 

 from a religious and a business stand- 

 point, for the advent of the holiday 

 marked a complete change in the situa- 

 tion in the market. 



The volume of business done at 

 Thanksgiving was fully equal to that of 

 any previous year, but it took a great 

 many more flowers to do as much busi- 

 ness, prices being in many cases far be- 

 low previous seasons. 



The demand, which started so briskly 

 for Thanksgiving, continued on Friday 

 and Saturday, owing to the Army and 

 Navy football game, and the large num- 

 ber of visitors brought into the city 

 thereby. This week there is enough go- 

 ing on in the social world in this and 

 other cities to keep up a fair degree of 

 activity and to maintain, and, in some 

 eases, increase prices. 



Going over the list, it may be said 

 that violets were in exceptionally heavy 

 demand. All really well-grown stock, 

 whether from Hightatown or up the Hnd- 

 sor, sold at good figures, wliile even the 

 poorer stock brought fair returns. Some 

 fine single viotols were more eagerly 

 sought than the doubles. Chrysanthe-
