American Beauties. Beauties .Jwive noT^ 

 been scarce so long that the buyers 

 recognize the- condition and are willing 

 to pay the price — only the demand for 

 Beauties has fallen off materially in 

 the last fortnight. Boses also have 

 brought advanced prices this week, for 

 the crop has been shortened, as is 

 usually the case at this date, and the 

 supply of first-class roses now is light. 

 There has been considerable deteriora- 

 tion in roses In the last week; Killar- 

 ney has lost in color and many of the 

 flowers are softer. There has been 

 no increase in the supply of short 

 stems; a larger proportion than usual 

 is the extra long grade, stock for 

 which >the growers- expect from 10 

 cents to 18 cents or even 20 cents. 

 Richmond has been in good request 

 because of the shortage of Beauties. 



There was no shortage of chrysan- 

 themums for Thanksgiving, but it was 

 an average low quality of stock that 

 was oflfered. Buyers, accustomed to 

 large supplies of first-class Bonnaffon 

 at low prices, were extremely critical 

 of the Thanksgiving offerings and re- 

 fused to buy except at low rates. There 

 were few flowers that were worth as 

 much as $S per dozen, but there was 

 even less demand for this grade. Most 

 of the calls were for stock at from 

 $1.50 to $2 per dozen, with about 20 

 cents per flower the limit that could 

 be obtained on quantities; The pom- 

 pons were pretty well over. Most of 

 the offerings were Klondyke, Diana or 

 Mrs. Beu, the yellow having the prin- 

 cipal demand. 



The carnation market failed to make 

 good the sanguine anticipations of the 

 growers. The supply was adequate 

 and, while some fancy prices were 

 paid for strictly fancy stock, prin- 

 cipally red, the average run of first- 

 class carnations did not make as high 

 prices as had been expected — there 

 were too many of them for the de- 

 mand. There has been some little 

 flurry in violets. The quality is ex- 

 cellent, which undoubtedly has added 

 to the demand, and the supply, both 

 of singles and doubles, has not come 

 up fo expectations. Prices on eat- 

 tleyas have fluctuated to an unusual de- 

 gree, some of the best flowers having 

 sold for $10 per dozen; others at a 

 much lower rate, due to larger sup- 

 plies than had been expected. Cyp- 

 ripediums and miscellaneous orchids 

 have been in large supply. Easter 

 lilies are coming in heavily again and 

 there are increased receipts of callas. 

 Stevia has come *in a deluge; every- 

 body has it in quantity. Sweet peas 

 are more plentiful and longer in stem. 

 Mignonette is arriving and Paper 

 Whites and Romans are coming in 

 heavily. All greens are abundant. 



Foehlmann Bros. Co. to Move. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. will remove its 

 wholesale store from ther- present loca- 

 tion at .35 East Randolph street to the 

 much larger quarters on the second 

 floor at 72 to 74 East Randolph street. 

 A lease was made last week, begin- 

 ning January 1 and running five years 

 and four months. The floor is 40x169, 

 facing Randolph street, with an alley 

 on the east and north, giving excellent 

 light. There are good front and rear 

 entrances. It is the intention to fit 

 up a wholesale, store which will com- 

 pare favorably with anything of the 

 kind in the United States. The lease 

 on the present quarters has some
