The Market. 



There has not, in this vicinity to 

 date, been enough frost to kill the 

 dahlias and cosmos. The market dur- 

 ing the last week has been overstocked. 

 One buyer took away seven tniek-loads 

 on Friday, October 18, for the depart- 

 ment stores. Of course the prices were 

 of his own making, but, after all, this 

 outlet is a godsend. Where would the 

 market be if this surplus were not 

 disposed of? 



The early mums have come and gone. 

 Lighter shipments are forecast for this 

 week and next, until the later vari- 

 eties assert themselves. But there will 

 be no shortage. There seems to be 

 BO limit to the number of growers, or 

 the quantity of stock that depends for 

 its sale on the New York market. 



The rose flood is rising and most of 

 the growers will be in full crop within 

 a few days. There is some splendid 

 stock in nearly every variety, and the 

 lust is longer this year than ever. The 

 American Beauties are now of superb 



quality and abundant. Prices remain 

 away below normal, for the demand 

 grows slowly. The mild weather holds 

 society still at the country estates. 



There are plenty of orchids in vari- 

 ety, with prices barely steady and 

 the selected stock rarely going above 

 40 cents. Carnations are no longer

scarce and the stock is already up to

unsold. The street merchants are no 

 longer permitted to o£fer them on the 

 corners, as in other seasons, and the 

 Greek element has been widely de- 

 pleted because of the war with Turkey, 

 many flower sellers being among those 

 who have sailed to join the armies. 



Chrysanthemums in pots are dis- 

 played in almost every wholesaler's 

 window. These, added to the offerings 

 of the regular plantsmen, have held 

 the average price for blooming plants 

 of every kind on a lower level than 

 in other years. 



Various Notes. 



The publicity committee of the Flo- 

 rists' Club has been doing good, prac- 

 tical work, sending out its posters and 

 circulars designed to increase the use 

 of flowers in the Hallowe'en celebra- 

 tion. This test it is believed will en- 

 courage Chairman Hendrickson and his 

 committee to greater efforts in behalf 

 of Thanksgiving, Christmas and other 

 holidays. All the retailers within a 

 radius of fifty miles have been supplied 

 with ammunition. The expense of the 

 plan will be borne by the growers and 

 others who will be most benefited. 

 Those who wish to help may send 

 checks to Secretary Young or to Messrs. 

 Hendrickson, Sheridan or Schenck, of 

 the committee.
