The Market 



Trade was heavy for Thanksgiving, 

 with plenty of stock. There was a fine 

 lot of mums and they were cleaned up 

 nicely. The supply from now on will be 

 light, as they are nearly all cut out, ex- 

 cept a few of the late varieties. Carna- 

 tions were in good supply and the de- 

 mand was heavy as usual, with prices 

 about right. Buses were in fine crop, but 

 moved rather slow. The demand for 

 Beauties was a little light, but the sup- 

 ply was rather short. Violets proved 

 good sellers and were cleaned up early 

 in the day. Pot plants moved rather 

 slowly, as the bulk of the business was 

 done on cut stock and mums had the 

 preference over all. Prices were satis- 

 factory and all the firms are pleased with 

 the business done. It is doubtful if there 

 ever was as much stock to dispose of as 

 there was last week. While all the trade 

 like to see mums come in, they are 

 equally glad, when the season is over, to 

 see them cleaned out of the way to make 

 room for roses, carnations, etc., which 

 always have to take a back seat while 

 mums are holding full sway. 



There has been considerable funeral 

 work lately and right at Thanksgiving 

 time it was exceptionally heavy. 



Trade is a little quiet this week com- 

 pared with last, but we all have our 

 thoughts now on the holiday rush, which 

 is only a little way off. 



Various Notei . 



The Florists ' Club held a regular meet- 

 ing in the Brent building, Tuesday even- 

 ing, November 23. The dance committee 

 made such a good report on the last 

 dance that it was decided to have an- 

 other. Thursday night, December 16, was 

 selected as the date. The committee ex- 

 pects to outdo the last one, when there 

 were over eighty couples present. The 

 club, by giving these dances, creates a 

 new interest in the club and brings the 

 ri»?mber8 more in touch with one an- 

 other. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cutting 

 some fine carnations and roses and will 

 have some late mums that will be good.
