in heavier request. The result has been 

 a stiffening in prices, especially for the 

 medium lengths. The receipts now are 

 cleaning up daily without recourse to 

 forced sales. Roses continue in large 

 supply. There has been some improve- 

 ment in average prices, but nothing 

 worth speaking about thus far, for 

 roses still are selling below their normal 

 values, and there are: many buyers who 

 consider roses of both the longest and 

 the shorter grades as ofltering the best 

 values now to be had in cut flowers. 

 The quality of the roses continues ex- 

 cellent. The dark weather has had 

 some effect on the color of Killarney, 

 but not enough to impair its value. The 

 flowers are good on all lengths of stems. 



The present week brought a pro- 

 nounced increase in the orders for chry- 

 santhemums, yellow being specially in 

 request. Some of the growers have cut 

 out their earliest Golden Glow. Others 

 are beginning to send in the blooms 

 from their second early batch of plants 

 and these are of much better quality 

 than the earliest stock. The October 

 Frost and Smith's Advance, which are 

 the two white varieties now coming in, 

 also are of excellent, quality. Better 

 chrysanthemums never have been seen 

 in this market in the first week of Octo- 

 ber. There has been an advance in 

 the price of yellows, but white continues 

 to sell at last week's quotations, and on 

 the whole the mums are not bringing 

 as much money as usual. Perhaps it is 

 because buyers recognize that they have 

 been getting special values that the 

 demand has increased so sharply the 

 last few days. 



There was an increased call for car- 

 nations last week, but it was not until 

 October arrived that there was any im- 

 provement in prices. The flower still is 

 selling much below last year 's prices 

 at this date, though the quality never 

 was better at this time of the year. 

 There are a few asters still coming in, 

 but they are not of shipable quality. 

 Gladioli still can be had in considerable 

 quantity, but the quality is not good. 

 Dahlias are more plentiful than here- 

 tofore and those which reach the mar- 

 ket in unbruised condition are selling 

 fairly well. Easter lilies continue 

 abundant; it seems doubtful if they can 

 pay at the prices which now rule. Val- 

 ley was in strong request at the open- 

 ing of the present week, though re- 

 cently it has been in such light demand 

 that clean sales were impossible. 



There was a slump in the cattleya 

 market last week, due to heavy ship- 

 ments to this market from glutted mar- 

 kets in the east. Buyers who can use 

 quantities were quick to take advantage 

 of the situation and forced prices down 

 to 30 cents for first-class locally grown 

 cattleyas, but this week found the mar- 

 ket lightly supplied and prices firmer, 

 at least temporarily. 



Violets have become one of the 

 wholesalers' problems. Some of the 

 stock recently received has been as 

 good as anyone could ask at this date, 

 but the retailers have refused to buy in 

 quantity, so that extremely low average 

 prices have been made for the best 

 goods, with practically no sale for the 

 poorer violets. Due to some slip of the 

 express company, the violets shipped 

 from Rhinebeck to arrive Sunday morn- 

 ing were twenty-four hours late arriv- 

 ing with the shipments intended for 

 Monday. 



There is increased call for asparagus 

 strings and smilax for decorating. Of 

 the latter there is an abundance.
