The Market 



Trade is beginning to show a decided 

 improvement, as stock of all kinds is 

 moving much better. Roses are coming 

 in quite plentifully now and move at a 

 ^ood figure. Brides and Maids take the 

 lead, as there have been a good many 

 weddings lately, which make a good de- 

 mand for Brides and valley. Maids, 

 Eiehmond and Killarney are coming in 

 slowly, but the outlook is good for a 

 teavy crop shortly. Carnations are more 

 plentiful, but the increasing demand 

 makes them still scarce in this market. 



Mums are beginning to make their ap- 

 pearance and we all welcome them. They 

 are looking fine and promise to be better 

 than last year. Some growers are grow- 

 ing single-stemmed ones exclusively. 

 Others are growing them two to three to 

 a plant, and the majority of the grow- 

 ers claim that they thus clean up more 

 money to a square foot than growing 

 single-stemmed. There is quite an in- 

 •crease of Bonnaflfon this year, as it is 

 an old favorite here with the growers, 

 as well as with the public. 



Tliere are few flowers here outside of 

 roses and carnations, as gladioli and 

 asters are a thing of the past. So 

 mums will be a welcome addition to our 

 stock at this time. 



Various Notes. 



The Munk Floral Co. is cutting its 

 first mums and the stock in general gives 

 promise of a good crop. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting some fine Monrovia and its carna- 

 tions are coming on in fine shape. 



Word has been received from Albert 

 Knopf, who is in California for his 

 health, that he is improving steadily.
