The Market 



Last week will go on record as one of 



'iie poorest of the season. Supplies ac- 



iimulated to such an extent that no rea- 



• 'liable offer was refused, and large quan- 



ities of flowers could not be cleared out. 



'lie Jewish holiday made considerable 



'fference to business. With the Hebrew 

 'ement out of the market for several 

 •'•ys, there was a marked diminution in 

 -ales. The present week sees a trifling 

 ^mprovement, but such unwieldy quanti- 

 'ifis of asters, gladioli and other outdoor 

 'lowers still arrive that they cannot be 

 iisposed of. Some nice American Beauty, 

 ^^lute Killarney, Kaiserin and Killamey 

 •^'^scs are coming in. The better quality 

 ' 'alize good prices, but there is a veri- 

 '"ble deluge of short-stemmed blooms of 

 Killarney, Bride, Maid and Kichmond, 



many of which go at 50 cents per hun- 

 dred, and some even less. 



Carnations are rather more plentiful, 

 but are not selling well. Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums seem to move a trifle 

 better. One or two Montmorts appeared 



HVERY now and then a well- 

 pleased reader speaks the word 

 which if the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



Sttch friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. Ve especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

this week. Valley sells quite well, but the 

 quality leaves much to be desired. Asters 

 do not seem to decrease in numbers. 

 Never have so many or so fine blooms 

 been seen, and it is a pity they have to 



go at such unsatisfactory prices. Gladioli 

 are abundant and of slow sale. Cosmos, 

 dahlias and helianthus sell poorly. There 

 is an abundant supply of lilies, and callas 

 are still to be seen. Among choice flowers 

 there is now a good supply of Cattleya 

 labiata, oncidiums and Vanda cserulea, 

 relieving the scarcity which existed for 

 some time. 



Qub Meeting. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, September 21, about 150 members 

 being in attendance. There were as 

 usual some interesting exhibits on the 

 tables. The Blue Hill Nurseries staged 

 herbaceous plants; seedling dahlia W. G. 

 Postings was given a report of merit. 

 Wm. Sim had a fine salmon pink antir- 

 rhinum. S. J. Goddard showed fine Pink 

 Delight and Helen Goddard carnations. 

 A. Roper received a report of merit for 

 a new crimson seedling carnation. 



The lecturer of the evening was John 

 W. Duncan, who gave an informal but 

 most entertaining talk on his recent jour- 

 ney through the west. Chicago and its 

 fine parks were highly spoken of, also 

 those of Minneapolis, Omaha, Spokane, 

 Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Salt Lake 

 City, Colorado Springs, San Francisco, 

 Los Angeles, Kansas City and other cities 

 visited. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex- 

 position at Seattle was well described and 

 in glowing terms. An ascent of Mount 

 Rainier, the Yellowstone park, Pasadena 

 and the wonderful Santa Clara valley of 

 California greatly impressed the speaker. 

 The native flora, trees and shrubs also 

 came in for considerable attention. A
