The Market. 



There is no improvement in the cut 

 '■ower business, thanks in considerable 

 Pleasure to continued warm weather. 

 ^\ tremendous quantity of stock is ar- 

 Tiving, with only a moderate call. There 

 li^ an unusually heavy surplus each day, 

 •^^r is the outlook encouraging. Many 

 ^vealthy families will stay in their coun- 



try homes this winter and social activ- 

 ity will be less pronounced than usual. 

 I may be wrong, but it looks as though 

 channels of distribution which have 

 proved adequate in the past will not 

 suffice to make clearances and some 

 means should be devised to bring flow- 

 ers within the reach of the thousands 

 of families who rarely purchase them. 

 Chrysanthemums are seen on every 

 hand and their value was never less, 

 although the quality is splendid. A few 



Bonnaffon are already in, also Ivory, 

 while Chrysolora, Pacific Supreme, Ra- 

 mapo, Polly Rose, Unaka and Pacific 

 are most prominent among the others. 

 A good many pompons are seen. Roses 

 are of excellent quality lind it seems 

 almost cruel to see them selling at such 

 low prices, and even then large num- 

 bers are unsold. Carnations are also 

 something of a glut. Few reach $2 per 

 hundred, many not half that price. Tb« 

 hot weather has been hard on violets,
