The Market 



So far, the flower market has held up 

 exceptionally well, and there are strong 

 hopes that the annual November slump 

 may not occur. Trade varies consider- 

 ably, usually the last half of the week 

 being the best. Chrysanthemums are 

 plentiful, but there is no glut as yet. 

 The bulk of the flowers are of small or 

 medium size; few fancies are seen, as 

 compared with a few years ago, although 

 a few specials reach $3 to $4 per dozen ; 

 but the general run of blooms make $6 

 to $12 per hundred. Boses are not selling 

 as well as could be wished, but they are 

 always under a cloud during the mum 

 season. The demand for Bride and Maid 

 is now practically nil; Killarney, white 

 and pink, and My Maryland, being the 

 favorites. Another season will see few 

 Mride and Maid grown here. 



Carnations keep about the same price, 

 varying from $1 to $3 per hundred. The 

 quality is improving and quantity stead- 

 ily growing. Violets are good and arriv- 

 ing in large quantities, singles being the 

 leaders. Lilies are not plentiful, but sell 

 well, as does also lily of the valley. The 

 last remnants of outdoor flowers, such as 

 .-isters and gladioli, are seen. Candytuft 

 sells slowly. Some fine cosmos, Lady 

 Lenox, is arriving. This late-blooming 

 variety sells well. Bouvardia Humboldtii 

 is good, from several growers, and cat- 

 tleyas are much more abundant. For 

 green stock, of all kinds, the call is quite 

 good. 



Is YourWagon an Expense? 



That depends on what kind it is — the de- 

 sign, finish, lettering, amount of repairs, etc.

Club Meeting. 



Tlie meeting October 26, postponed one 

 week owing to the holding of the great 

 trnit show in Horticultural hall, was 

 largely attended, about 150 being present. 

 The attraction of the evening was J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhaf's lecture, chiefly on his 

 trip through Europe this summer, but 

 including some account of the bulb in- 

 dustry in Holland. It was announced 

 that Miss L. L. Hetzer would speak on 

 "Jottings of a Journey Abroad," No- 

 vember 16, and that nominations of offi- 

 cers would be made at the same meeting.
