in strong demand, while Richmond is 

 selling well. 



Mums are active, especially for fancy, 

 large stock. These flowers are not fin- 

 ishing oflf properly on account of the 

 warm weather and are being cut by 

 some growers before reaching a suffi- 

 ciently ripe stage, in order to reach the 

 market early. Colder weather is needed 

 to bring mums around in the best shape. 

 Golden Glow, Smith's Advance and Oc- 

 tober Frost are the main varieties com- 

 ing in this week. Unaka, pink, is of 

 good quality, but is not fully ripened 

 as it arrives. The utmost care there- 

 fore is necessary in handling the flowers 

 to avoid bruising. 



Though the warm weather is detri- 

 mental to the shipping of carnations in 

 good condition, the supply is rapidly in- 

 creasing. A large proportion of carna- 

 tions received are too short for ship- 

 ping orders and this class of stock is 



used up on city trade almost exclu- 

 sively. Enchantress and Beacon this 

 week are the strongest in demand, with 

 Ward a good seller on certain kinds of 

 work. 



Easter lilies have shortened up. Some 

 excellent rubrum is being sold and lily 

 prices, in general, are firmer than they 

 were. Bouvardia has just come in, with 

 no demand to speak of. This stock is 

 too early this year and should not ar- 

 rive yet if any kind of a market is de- 

 sired. Cattleyas are more abundant 

 and prices are less firm. Violets now 

 are a daily item of supply and are of 

 fair quality for the first of the season. 

 The weather is too warm for them, both 

 for quality and sales. 



In general, it may be said that city 

 business is sluggish and, for those houses 

 which handle only a desultory shipping 

 trade, times appear rather below nor- 

 mal. For those wholesaler^ whose ship- 



ping business is at all extensive, the 

 out-of-town trade has a bolstering-up 

 effect, and makes conditions, on the 

 average, seem fair, though business is 

 nothing like what it ought to be at this 

 date. Many wholesalers make the mis- 

 take of comparing the conditions of the 

 last two weeks with the same period a 

 year ago. It will be remembered that 

 an early frost, coming about September 

 15, last year, killed all outdoor flowers 

 and toned up the market for cut flowers 

 considerably. It is something of this 

 sort that we need right now. 



Bank Opening Boosts Business. 



A quickening influence was exercised 

 on city trade, especially in Beauties and 

 chrysanthemums of best quality, as s 

 result of the opening of the Continental 

 & Commercial National bank, now es- 

 tablished in its magnificent new build- 

 ;. ing on La Sa^lle street. Fl'qwers were
