The Market. 



The bright weather of the last few 

 days has brought the crop of blooms on 

 earlier than usual, many of the growers 

 being now in full crop. While business 

 has been good, the stores have had some 

 trouble in taking care of the extra cut. 

 MuTiis are now in good supply; some of 

 the midseason varieties are on the mar- 

 ket. These have much better flowers 

 ami stems than the early varieties. Car- 

 nations are of excellent quality, as are 

 roses; there is an oversupply of the lat- 

 ter at this writing. Some good gladioli 

 are still seen, while dahlias are now at 

 their best. Some fine specimens of this 

 splendid fall flower are being shown. 



Various Notes. 



On a recent visit to the Northwestern 

 Floral Co, I found things in excellent 

 order. The manager, George Seaverns, 

 reports business good. Some fine blooms 

 of Unaka were just coming into flower. 

 Potted stock is the specialty on this 

 place.

 some fine blooms of Unaka and Chryso- 

 lora.

The Market. 



There is a fair demand for cut flowers 

 <'i'"I business is showing a slight im- 

 provement. Chrysanthemums are now 

 the chief flowers and there are quantities 

 ot them in all the stores. The supply 

 ^y> far has been coming principally from 



alifomia, but now good home-grown 

 ""wers are seen in quantity and the 

 JI'M'ortation of California mums is about 

 "'I'slied. The California violets, how-

it to any extent and as a cut flower it 

 is no longer popular. There are few 

 orchids. Valley also is scarce. Gladioli 

 are here yet, but there is not much sale 

 for them at this late season. Some wed- 

 dings and other functions have caused 

 a stir at some of the stores. Large quan- 

 tities of autumn foliage have been used 

 this year and the mild weather has pro- 

 tracted the season for it. 



Various Notes. 



There is a wonderful difference in the 

 appearance of the greenhouses of the 

 Capitol Hill Floral Co. since Victor 

 Johnson took possession, about a year 

 ago. Stock of all kinds is in good shape, 

 especially the pot plants, and he reports 

 that business is thriving, while indica- 

 tions point to a successful future.
