in supplies of loses. There continue to 

 be more carnations than the regular de- 

 mand calls for. It is reported that one 

 house shipped 35,000 carnations October 

 17j to buyers who can use quantities at a 

 price. This relieved the market for the 

 time being, but by Monday stock again 

 was accumulating. As other growers 

 begin maKing the first pick, short stems 

 again appear in quantity. 



Chrysanthemums are in large supply, 

 probably larger than this market ever 

 before has known so early in the season. 

 Because the demand has not developed, 

 and because the stock is ready earlier 

 than usual, it is apparent many growers 

 have let the flowers stay on the plants 

 longer than they should. Some of the 

 stock now coming in is of such excellent 

 quality that it can be sold in moderate 

 quantity at the highest prices thus far 

 received this season, but the bulk of the 

 demand continues to be for mums at $8 

 to $12 per hundred. There are moderate 

 receipts of pompons, which are selling 

 well. 



Easter lilies are in light supply, but 

 there are several growers cutting 

 rubrums in quantity. Gladioli have 

 bloomed themselves out. Cosmos con- 

 tinues plentiful. Single violets have 

 come to join the doubles, although the 

 weather is too warm for them, either 

 for quality or for good sales. Orchids 

 are abundant and prices easing off. Val- 

 ley is equal to all requirements. There 

 still are quantities of dahlias, but they 

 sell poorly. Greens of all kinds are 

 abundant. 



In the retail way there is some varia- 

 tion of reports. The stores that cater 

 to the best trade say business is ahead 

 of any year except the unusually good 

 autumn of 1913, while the stores that 

 get their business among the less wealthy 

 classes say trade is distinctly dull. The 

 city retailers attach less importance to 

 weather than do the growers and whole- 

 salers, the latter feeling that a good 

 freeze is essential and will be followed 

 by a sharp increase in the demand.
