MenttoD The Review wnen you write. 



There were a few dinners and wed- 

 dings last week, but not enough of 

 either to jar prices or lift them to 

 the plane where they belong. The 

 price of roses cannot advance much 

 while the excessive chrysanthemum 

 shipments continue. Though the tide 

 has turned and improvement is notice- 

 able, the increase in values is yet so 

 slight that it is unworthy of special 

 mention. 



The quality of everything is now at 

 its best. The supply of Kaiserin, Kil- 

 larney, Maryland and Eichmond, and 

 the special grades of Maid and Bride 

 cannot be surpassed in any wholesale 

 flower mart of the country. Beauties 

 will soon be in wider demand, and 

 prices will advance. Carnations are 

 also close to the high level of perfec- 

 tion, but prices do not lift, because of 

 the enormous mum supply. 



Orchids are rising, as they deserve 

 to. The best flowers touched 75 cents 

 Saturday, October 29. Their popular- 

 ity seems to be increasing as their 

 sources of supply grow in numbers. 

 There is no danger of a serious glut 

 in the orchid market, and the best 

 gardenias are always in demand. Val- 

 ley ran up to 4 cents last week, and 

 lilies also advanced slightly. Violets 

 are better every way, and good stock 

 brought 50 cents per hundred easily. 



The chrysanthemum still dominates, 

 and will do so until the middle of 

 November, and possibly until Thanks- 

 giving, although some veterans are 

 predicting a scarcity jat that time.

successful, and drew many New York- 

 ers, especially from the seedsmen's 

 ranks. Mr. Ebel, of the Aphine Co., 

 visited the Glen Cove exhibition, and 

 nearly everybody is going this week to 

 the Madison show at Convent Station. 

 For this week also we have Tarrytown, 

 Dobbs Ferry and Mt. Kisco, and for 

 the final week of the season Long 

 Branch and Yonkers will celebrate, and 

 New York city will have its two big 

 exhibitions at the American Institute 

 and the Museum of Natural History. 

 The prize lists here are liberal and 



great successes in exhibits and attend- 

 ance are anticipated. 



The November 14 meeting of the 

 New York Florists' Club will be the 

 great night of the year, and Chairman 

 Nugent says there will be special en- 

 tertainment for the ladies, with a fine 

 collation and orchestral music. John 

 T. Withers will deliver his interesting 

 lecture, with stereopticon views of his 

 trip around the world. There will be 

 exhibits of chrysanthemums and other 

 flowers, and reports of several impor- 

 tant committees. It is planned to
