The Market. 



Business last week was extremely 

 quiet, but the present week starts out 

 with an improved tone. The bulk of 

 the smaller grade chrysanthemums are 

 now, fortunately, out of the way and 

 the arrivals are nearly all good stock. 

 Leaders among mums are Intensity, 

 Bonnaflfon, Shrimpton, Maud Dean, 

 Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Jeanne Nonin, 

 President Roosevelt, Nagoya and Patty. 

 Prices do not show much change. In 

 exceptional cases $4 per dozen has been 

 paid for crimsons for the football 

 games, but the average for good flowers 

 is much below this. Eoses are shorter 

 in supply, with prices well maintained. 

 Carnations are averaging a little better, 

 but no fancy prices are obtainable 

 while mums are so abundant. 



Violets are selling at higher rates, the 

 football games having called for large 

 quantities. The Harvard-Yale game 

 November 25 at Cambridge will cause 

 a heavy run on these and crimson 

 mums. Paper White narcissi are abun- 

 dant. Some Soleil d 'Or also is seen, 

 as well as Eoman hyacinths. There 

 still is plenty of cosmos, but it sells 

 slowly. Pink antirrhinum is in strong 

 demand; other colors do not sell so 

 well. Marguerites are scarce. Valley 

 sold a little better last week, but still 

 is too plentiful. Lilies and callas are 

 each selling fairly well. Some mignon- 

 ette is arriving, but the quality is poor 

 as yet. 



Gardenias are more plentiful, but the 

 call is uncertain. The cattleya supply 

 is steadily declining and prices are a 

 little better. There is an abundance 

 of cypripediums, dendrobiums, phalaen- 

 opsis and yellow oncidiums. There is 

 ;i better demand for both asparagus 

 and adiantum. Plant trade is picking 

 up nicely. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Bobbins, for eight years with 

 Penn and later in charge of the flower 

 stand at Back Bay station, H. Lerner 

 and A. L Caplan have opened a new 

 flower store at 169 Tremont street, un- 

 der the title of the Flower Growers' 

 Exchange. The store is attractively 

 fitted up and a fine line of choice flow- 

 ers is carried. Being in the heart of 

 the shopping district, a big business 

 should be done. Mr. Robbins is well 

 pleased with trade up to date. 



Wm. E. Turner, G. P. Russell and 

 Alex. Woburn, all of Woburn, have 

 splendid single violets now at the Bos- 

 ton Cooperative Market. Mr. Porter, 

 in addition, has excellent sweet peas. 



Thomas F. Galvin disposed of over 

 70,000 violets November 18, for the 

 Princeton-Yale football game at New 

 Haven. 



Perry E. Green, of Quincy, is special- 

 izing on Cosmos Lady Lenox. Yellow 

 pompon mums also are selling well. 



F. H. Houghton had" a big wedding 

 order for November 22, having, in addi- 

 tion to bouquets, the bride's house and 

 the Old South Church to decorate, 

 which he did in his usual artistic man- 

 ner.

 of our double violet growers, has, in
