The Market. 



Trade is fair, but the market lacks 

 that snappy feeling it ought to enjoy 

 at this season of the year. Thanksgiv- 

 ing business was not up to last year. 

 Buyers hesitated in putting in good sup- 

 plies and prices would not hold firm. 

 Carnations which were quoted at 4 cents 

 to 6 cents found buyers taking them 

 slowly and the supply was greater than 

 the demand. Jioses sold fairly, but 

 plenty of white stock was left over. 

 Violets, stevia, valley and Paper Whites 

 were plentiful. The season on mums 

 fell below the average of former years. 

 Medium grades sold well, but it was 

 difficult to get the price on the large 

 fancies. 



Bouquet green is coming in plentifully 

 now. Pickers were holding it much too 

 high and jobbers were overbidding each 

 other to get it. The result was that 

 prices kept soaring and pickers were 

 busy getting in all they could, until now 

 supply exceeds demand. The first holly 

 has arrived and the quality is good. 



C. S. P. 



MEMPHIS, TENN. 



Olaf Johnson says he will sell out to 

 a hustler, but it is not the fellow who 

 has a flourishing business who wants to 

 let go. The sick man of the east is not 

 in it, and should a possible purchaser 

 turn up I question if Mr. Johnson would 

 give up, as his property is steadily in- 

 creasing in value and he does a big busi- 

 ness. He realizes there is a fine field for 

 a wholesale growing establishment, both 

 in plants and cut flowers, and predicts 

 the time will come when such a place 

 will exist. 



The Memphis Floral Co. does a large 

 shipping retail business, in addition to 

 the floral department. J. Haisch has 

 charge of this end, while W. Hume does 

 the buying and sees to the drummers, 

 of whom there were three at the time of 

 my visit. As he says, they are the life 

 of the business. 



Pearson & McCarty handle a good 

 cemetery business and report an increas- 

 ing demand for funeral pieces of less 

 extravagant design than formerly. W. 



PoSTOBiA, O. — Next spring the Fos- 

 toria Floral Co. will add about 20,000 

 feet of glass to its already large plant 

 and will considerably increase the out- 

 put of cut flowers and bedding plants.
