The Market. 



With the passing of Thanksgiving 

 and football, chrysanthemums are also 

 a thing of the i)ast and the few that 

 still remain are poor in quality. Maud 

 Dean seems to wilt right down as soon 

 as it is cut, and there are few yellows 

 that are of any use at all. p]aton is 

 the best mum now on the market. Pom- 

 pon mums, which were so ])opular this 

 fall, have been cleaned up entirely; 

 nevertheless, patrons are still clamor- 

 ing for them and there is nothing to 

 take thpir place. 



Cold, crisp but cloudy weather made 

 Thanksgiving trade good in general and 

 all the florists had their share of the 

 business. Cut flowers seemed more in 

 demand than flowering plants this year, 

 although there were a great many be- 

 gonias, Jerusalem cherries, primroses

Mention The Review when too wrtta 



and cyclamens sold. Beauties were 

 scarce and fortunately there was little 

 demand for them because the cheapest 

 Holil for .$8 per dozen. Kichmonds were 

 in excellent condition and brought a 

 j^ood price. The favorite Thanksgiving 

 roses were Killarney and Taft and 

 there were great quantities of them to 



be had. Ward roses are in great de- 

 mand now, but they are not at all plen- 

 tiful and are falling off in the supply 

 each week. Maryland is good. White 

 Killarney is still par excellence in qual- 

 ity and a great favorite, Kaiserin 

 has dropped out of the list entirely.
