The Market 



'J'he market last week was somewhat 

 overcrowded with everything the retailers 

 wanted, and prices were low, but we are 

 looking for a different state of affairs for 

 Thanksgiving and all of our wholesalers 

 are making preparations to supply the 

 Jocal trade with stock of all kinds. It 

 looks as though stock will be plentiful, 

 AS we have had warm and clear weather. 



The chrysanthemum is still the leading 

 flower and some extra fine blooms are 

 coming in everv day at reasonable prices. 

 Roset are now at their height and plenty 

 of fancy stock is now coming. There will 

 be a slight advance in prices on th&se this 

 week. Beauties have been plentiful all the 

 week. Extra fancy stock in carnations 

 ts now coming in. Last week they were 

 fielling at a low price, but fancies will 

 go up to $0 per hundred this week. A 

 few Romans and Paper Whites have 

 made their appearance, but not many 

 AS yet Violets will go up to $1 per hun- 

 dred this week and there should be plenty 

 of them. Lily of the valley has a good 

 call. Smilax is in demand and all other 

 greens sell well.
