Trade in the cut flower market has 

 been good and aU stock sold satisfac- 

 torily. American Beauties have been 

 abundant enough to meet the demand. 

 Tea roses are coming in more plentifully 

 and, with mums predominating, they will, 

 as usual, move more slowly from now. 

 Chrysanthemums are plentiful and can 

 be had in white, yellow and pink, with 

 white in the lead. No orders need to be 

 turned down, no matter how large. Car- 

 nations are stiU short of supply, with a 

 heavy demand; they clean out every 

 morning at the commission houses. Prices 

 remain about the same as last week, $3 

 per hundred for the best. Easter lilies 

 are apparently short in supply. There is 

 enough valley to meet demand. Violets 

 are more plentiful. The green goods 

 market is well supplied. 



Variout Notes. 



October 23 I noticed, on one of the 

 stands in the Sixth street flower market, 

 a vase of Chrysanthemum Gloriosum. To 

 me it was like meeting a friend of long 

 ago. The committee on mums, having 

 just got through with several seedlings 

 in the hall above, stopped to look at this 

 vase, and right here I wish to say that we 

 often hear the remark that many old- 

 timers have been dropped off the list to 

 make room for newer varieties, and we 

 surely feel justified in keeping up with 

 the procession, looking at a vase of Hal-
