The Market. 



It is with regret that we report a 

 great glut in this market. The city is 

 flooded with flowers of all kinds, with 

 the possible exception of carnations, 

 and there is almost no demand. The 

 bottom has dropped out of prices, and 

 little is being realized for the fine 

 quality of stock now on the market. 

 Killarneys, both pink and white, were 

 seldom better, the buds being extra 

 large and the stems and foliage extra 

 good, but there is practically no de- 

 mand. Richmonds are not so plentiful, 

 but it is just as well they are not, for 

 the demand amounts to nothing. Long 

 and medium Beauties sell fairly well, 

 but uot well enough to dispose of them 

 all. Short-stemmed ones are scarce, 

 and it is not always possible to supply 

 them. 



In chrysanthemums there is a great 

 supply of all grades, from the choicest 

 varieties down to the little ones. The 

 best mums are selling for less than one- 

 half what they usually bring, owing to 

 the fact that there is such a quantity 

 ready to cut. The violet business picked 

 up in the latter part of the week and 

 all that came in were sold, but during 

 the first few days there was no call 

 for them and a great many were lost. 

 Valley of good grade can be had at any 

 time now. This will be welcome news 

 to some who have not been able to de- 

 pend on getting it when thej' wanted 

 it. Carnations are still a little slow, 

 but, with so many chrysanthemums in 

 competition, the demand is not likely to 

 increase any faster than the supply. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Colorado 

 Florists' Club will be held November 4, 

 at T. M. A. hall. Officers for the com- 

 ing year will be elected. 



William Speth, who, in addition to 

 having a sprained ankle, was confined 

 to the hospital for two weeks with a 

 Viad attack of pleurisy and pneumonia, 

 has been removed to his home and is 

 rapidly on the road to recovery. 



The Park Floral Co. seems to be the 

 only flower house to report any increase
