the momen£. Mrs. Jardine is fine. 

 Bfichmond, though plentiful and good, is 

 not in strong request. A few Melody 

 are arriving, but have not interfered 

 with the sale for Perle. 



! For the last few days of last We.ek 

 the carnation presented' the worst 

 pi-oblem th% wholesalers had to face. 

 The receipts were much heavier than is 

 usual at this date, and buyers were 

 n&iog principally asters, which were so 

 cheap and so good that there was little 

 call for carnations. By far the greater 

 part of the receipts had short stems and 

 the average prices returned to some of 

 tie growers made shipping hardly .worth 

 While. While asters were in light sup- 

 ply at the beginning of this week, the 

 bjetter carnations were doing fairly 

 w:ell, but the shorts continued to suffer. 



.Chrysanthemums earner in much more 

 apundantly towards the clbse of last 

 week and there was a decline in prices 

 which has been only partly recovered 

 this week. There are several times as 

 many Golden Glow as October Frost, 

 ahd consequently whites make better 

 prices than yellows. The mums are not 

 bringing as good prices as stock of equal 

 quality has in the first weeks of previ- 

 oiis seasons. There continue to be large 

 eiipplies of Easter lilies, se.lling cheap- 

 ly.. The shortage of cattleyas has been 

 relieved and prices have retrograded, 

 yalley is abundant. Some first-class 

 dahlias are see'n, mainly of the show 

 ahd decorative types, but there is little 

 skle for them. Violets have arrived. 

 The storm which interrupted the cutting 

 of asters also destroyed most of the 

 other outdoor stock, so that the market 

 ii not nearly so heavily burdened with

miscellaneous, flowers as has been the 

 case in recent weeks. 



There is an abundance of greens, but 

 there begins to be some activity in this 

 department, due to the autumnal store 

 opening decorations.
