PHILADELPHIA. 



The BiBing Eastern Market. 



The market shows decided improve- 

 ment for the week ending November 

 22. The supply of flowers has in- 

 creased, but the demand for them has 

 increased even more than the supply. 

 Prices have advanced on cattleyas, on 

 Beauties and on violets, strong evi- 

 dence that the social season has opened 

 in earnest. 



Chrysanthemums still are the leading 

 flower. Some select Golden Chadwick, 

 with Golden Eagle and a few others, 

 bring $3 and occasionally $4 a dozen. 

 These are the exceptions. Eeally fine 

 stock can be had for $2 to $2.50 a 

 dozen. The best chrysanthemums sell 

 far more readily than ordinary blooms. 

 Bonnaffon is undoubtedly the leading 

 variety. Yellow pompons are preferred 

 to other colors in that class. 



Violets continue scarce and in active 

 demand; $1.25 to $L50 is the price on 

 the best, both in singles and in doubles. 

 Cattleyas have shortened, with pros- 

 pects of a fortnight's scarcity; $7.50 

 to $9 is the ruling price. Beauties are 

 exceedingly fine. Strong demand has 

 advanced them to $4 to $5 a dozen 

 in the face of a good supply. There 

 is no especial change in the other roses, 

 excepting that they are selling better. 

 The poorer grades benefit most by the 

 improvement. 



The carnation situation is brighter. 

 Prices are unchanged, but the average 

 figures are better than a week ago. 

 Valley has been quite shy, at times 

 unequal to the demand. Gardenias and 

 sweet peas are good stock. The abun- 

 dant supply of Easter lilies and the 

 moderate supply of callas is in excess 

 of requirements. The out-of-town de- 

 mand is strong. 



Thanksgiving
