The Market 



We have some better conditions than 

 we were able to quote in our last report. 

 Trade up until Saturday, October 3, was 

 nothing to brag of, and most of our 

 florists were in hope that something 

 would turn up to bring about more busi- 

 ness. On Monday, October 5, prospects 

 brightened and business commenced to 

 boom, and the prices also advanced a 

 little, for the supply of stock, being lim- 

 ited, was insufficient to compete with the 

 demand. The wholesale dealers vrere 

 receiving orders from customers who for 

 three or four weeks had apparently b^n 

 dead, and as a result could not find 

 enough stock to fill all the orders re- 

 ceived. These conditions held true dur- 

 ing the entire Veek and at the present 

 time still continue. If stock were only 

 more plentiful the florist surely would 

 have a good harvest. 



Carnations are doing well, considering 

 the time of the year, and the crop at the 

 present time is heavier than a year ago. 

 The blooms are fine and the stems are 

 getting to be of good length, while the 

 wholesaler realizes $3 per hundred for 

 most of them. Bride and Maid just now 

 are oflf crop, while Kaiserin and Carnot 

 are fine and are used in a good many 

 cases as substitutes. Lilies are as good 

 as ever and sell readily, and the weather 

 is just the kind a florist likes. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Gussie Mernitz, of Chicago, has 

 been a guest at the home of George 

 Bartholomew for a week. 



H. H. Eitter had a large wedding dec- 

 oration for October 12.

 carnival October ^ to 10^ and one of
