they did just the reverse; the wholesale 

 houses are oflfering them at from $5 to 

 $6 per hundred, about one-half of the 

 former prices. Valley sales are up to the 

 average, but the supply is too large for 

 the demand. Carnations are now much 

 better, but the sales are poor. 



A general summary of the week's 

 business shows it to be up to the aver- 

 age, but there is an oversupply of stock, 

 which the retailers cannot take up, even 

 at the low prices at which it can be 

 bought, and the present condition will 

 no doubt last until after frost kills out- 

 door stock and consequently reduces the 

 supply. 



There is every indication of a good 

 supply of mums for the coming season 

 and the majority appear to be of a qual- 

 ity above the average. A good supply 

 of roses is also in prospect at the pres- 

 ent time. Carnations on the whole are 

 looking good for a later cutting, but are 

 not being cut heavily at present. Nor 

 are they needed, according to the mar- 

 ket at this time. 



Various Notes. 



Prof. H. J. Patterson, president of the 

 Maryland Agricultural College, has ten- 

 dered his resignation to the board of di- 

 rectors of the institution, to take effect 

 June 1, 1915. The college was formerly 

 a privately owned institution, but re- 

 cently passed under the control of the 

 state of Maryland, due to the foreclosure 

 of a mortgage of $19,000 which the state 

 held. In tendering his resignation. Prof. 

 Patterson expressed the idea that a com- 

 mission form of supervision and direc- 

 tion was in his opinion the best for the 

 college, as its affairs were too large and 

 varied for one man to take care of prop- 

 erly. 



Walter E. Cook, representing the 

 Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, was a 

 caller last week. 



John Rider is cutting some fine car- 

 nations and his houses give every indi- 

 cation of a heavy winter cut. 



Samuel Feast & Sons received six cases 

 of azaleas last week and many other
