Mrs. Beu, of which considerable quan- 

 tities were still on hand at the opening 

 of the week. Violets are making little 

 stir. There are those who say the quan- 

 tity reaching Chicago is greater than a 

 year ago, but others do not agree. It 

 is the general report, however, that the 

 buyers are less anxious to secure vio- 

 lets, stating that the retail' demand is 

 not what it was. Cattleyas are scarce, 

 the bulk of the stock being Percival- 

 iana. Some good Trianse are coming 

 in and already are making Christmas 

 prices. The miscellaneous orchids are 

 equal to the demand. Sweet peas are 

 seen in larger quantities and most of 

 them are of quite fair quality, but not 

 selling any to© well. Valley continues 

 in normal supply and demand. Eastern 

 shipments prevent lilies from going 

 above moderate prices. Paper "Whites 

 have come in so strongly that it may 

 be said -the annual glut has begun. Bo- 

 mans are in much the same condition. 

 A few tulips have arrived. Bouvardia, 

 if good, sells well. 

 ^-j-^ A large business is being done in 

 i^ boxwood, but other greens are quiet. 



November Business. 



The general report is that the No- 

 vember business compares favorably 

 with last year, the increase being at 

 least as great as the year's increase in 

 glass. Early in the month there was an 

 excellent market, mums doing better 

 than usual; the glut of these in the 

 middle of the month was less prolonged 

 than last year. The Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness compared well with previous rec- 

 ords. Carnations did not average so 

 good prices as last year, but the quan- 

 tity of stock handled, on the whole, in 

 spite of the lateness of the date, was 

 considerably greater than ever before. 

 There were plenty of mums for every- 

 one, in spite of the holiday coming the 

 last day of the month. 



November Weather. 



November was much colder than 

 usual and the sunshine much below 

 the average. Not in twenty years has 

 the mean temperature been so low as 

 35 degrees. The minimum was 12 de- 

 grees, and it followed the maximum, 74 

 degrees, by only a little more than 

 twenty-four hours. The average num- 

 ber of hours of sun per day was only 

 four, or only forty-one per cent of the 

 possible. It is especially noteworthy 

 that there was the least sun at the mid- 

 dle of the month, when buds should 

 have been setting for Christmas crops. 

 In the fifteen days of November 9 to 

 23, inclusive, there were only 38.9 

 hours of sun. 



Various Notes. 



About January 1 the Foley Mfg. Co. 

 will discontinue the sash and door 

 branch of the business and devote all 

 its energies to the production of green- 

 house building material. A New York 

 branch office will also be opened at the 

 same time, in charge of a man- who has 

 been identified for many years with the 

 greenhouse building trade. It is interest- 

 ing to note that originally the sash and 

 door business was the mainstay of the 

 Foley establishment, but greenhouse 

 building has increased so rapidly in the 

 last few years that the original line 

 has been superseded by the former side 

 line.
