ply to Bonnaffon, which is available in 

 quantity in all sizes. A good many of 

 the mums have been and are of poor 

 quality, and would command only low 

 prices at a normal stage of the mar- 

 ket, but this week the best, big late 

 blooms are in and splendid stock is of- 

 fered. It appears that the chrysanthe- 

 mum season is approaching an end, 

 Mk^er earlier than usual, because the 

 warm weather has rushed along the 

 flowers. 



Buyers are beginning to appreciate 

 that carnations once more are plentiful 

 and at ordinary prices. The result is 

 that the carnation orders are increasing, 

 and the carnation held its own last week 

 rather better than any other flower in 

 the market, though prices, of course, 

 went down in sympathy with everything 

 else. 



Supplementing the carnations, there is 

 a large supply of Diana, the small 

 white mum which works in so nicely in 

 all kinds of designs, baskets and other 

 retail creations. The supply of this 

 variety is much larger than it ever has 

 been before, and prices are lower, sales 

 being slower. Other varieties of pompon 

 and single chrysanthemums, while in 

 good supply, are not so abundant as 

 Diana. 



Violets suffered in the general apathy 

 last week, but there is predicted a sharp 

 rally for them. Valley and lilies are 

 equal to all requirements. Sweet peas 

 are increasing in quantity. A few Paper 

 Whites ate seen. 



The present week opened with storms 

 and more nearly seasonable temperature. 

 The general impression is that with cool 

 weather and the normal amount of sun, 

 production will be reduced, demand will 

 multiply and business will resume its 

 usual course. 



There is nothing out of the ordinary 

 in the green goods department. 



Wednesday, November 17. — Three days 

 of dark and comparatively cold weather 

 have begun to affect production. Cuts 

 are reduced, demand is not yet strong, 

 but prices are hardening, especially on 

 Beauties.

There was a delegation of thircy Chi- 

 cago florists at the Milwaukee flower 

 show Saturday, November 13, practically

rists' Club. The Chicago visitors were 

 delighted with the show; it was much 

 ahead of anything heretofore seen in 

 Milwaukee and entitled to be classed 

 with the Chicago exhibition. Among the 

 Chicago florists present were: Frank 

 Johnson, Albert Amling, William Am- 

 ling, P. J. Foley, R. Schiller, August 

 Poehlmann, Adolph Poehlmann, Adam 

 Zender, Eric Johnson, George Asmus and

 a good many of the Chicago people 

 were called on by Toastmaster C. C. 

 Pollworth for afterdinner remarks. 



Mr. Wathburn'g Plans. 



Bassett & Washburn are confident that 

 the record the 0. P. Bassett carnation 

 has made with those who bought it lash 

 year will result in a demand for cut- 

 tings this season fully as great as that 

 of the year it was sent out. They there- 

 fore are preparing to propagate Exten- 

 sively and already have about 2u,000 

 cuttings in the sand and are putting 

 them in at the rate of about 1,000 each 

 day. They also are preparing for a 

 large demand for young stock of White 

 Killarney in the spring and have ordered 

 125,000 Manetti for grafting, although 

 crop conditions may result in their not 

 receiving the full order, for Manetti is 

 scarce in England. Mr. Washburn says
