MfPtion The ttevlew when yon write. 



crease in the supply of cattleyas. Local 

 growers are cutting fine flowers in quan- 

 tity and consignments from the east 

 again are coming in. The demand also 

 has increased, for corsage work is pick- 

 ing up. Valley is equal to the demand, 

 which has been restricted by the ad- 

 vance in prices. The first violets ar- 

 rived September 26. 



Beauties continue abundant and in 

 most cases of excellent quality. The 

 man who has poor Beauties has reason 

 to regret it this fall; with so many 

 good ones, the poor stock is slow sale 

 and brings only low prices. 



Roses are abundant, as they have 

 been for months. Pink is most plentiful. 

 The buyers generally prefer Killarney 

 Brilliant, because of its higher coloring. 

 White is not in oversupply. Mrs, Rus- 

 sell is being held at Beauty prices, 

 which is the reason that orders can be 

 filled; any shading of prices results in 



a quick clean-up to local buyers. Sun- 

 burst also is in extra demand. Prices 

 on the staple roses are lower than they 

 should be, considering the quality of 

 stock and the time of year. 



Carnations are coming in more abun- 

 dantly every day. With the decrease 

 in the supply of asters, carnations con- 

 tinue to sell better and better. The 

 stock is of unusually good quality for 

 the end of September. Not only are 

 the flowers good, but stems now can be 

 had as long as there is any real need 

 for them. The bulk of the receipts 

 again this year are Enchantress and 

 White Enchantress, A few growers 

 who have planted red in considerable 

 quantity seem in line to make some 

 extra money. 



Gladioli are hanging on later than 

 usual this year. Although the supply 

 continues, the demand is dropping. 

 There would be a good sale for good 



asters, but most of those coming in are 

 usable only in the cheapest kind 01 

 funeral work. 



There is no change in the greens 

 market. A full winter line now is tivail- 

 able. It is worthy of note that a good 

 many houses are selling ferns at a priw 

 that does not take care of overhead 

 expense.
