The Rising Eastern Market. 



Early chrysanthemums are the strong 

 feature of a slowly improving market. 

 Golden Glow, or, as the buyers have re- 

 christened it, Early Glow, is in larger 

 supply than at any time this season. 

 The other varieties are Smith's Ad- 

 vance, Early Snow, Polly Eose and 

 Montmort. They afford a range of 

 color sufScient for most requirements. 

 The only difficulty is that they are not 

 yet plentiful, possibly excepting the 

 first named. Each day sees this trou- 

 ble grow smaller. The quality is excel- 

 lent. Prices are good, but not fancy. 

 When chrysanthemums of the requisite 

 cplor can not be obtained dahlias are 

 aln excellent substitute. Golden West 

 and Mrs. J. Gardner Casaatt, a beau- 

 tiful shade of deep pink, are the lead- 

 ers; great, long-stemmed flowers that 

 are a revelation to those accustomed 

 tp naturally grown dahlias of ordinary 

 breed. They bring an excellent price 

 a!nd are worth it. The dahlias range 

 from fancy to cull, or, prosaically 

 speaking, from $5 per hundred to any- 

 thing that you can get; sometimes 

 precious hard, for everybody wants the 

 one and nobody wants the other. As- 

 ters are not yet over, more's the pity. 



Carnation conditions improve. There 

 is more salable stock and more demand 

 for it. The Wards head the list, with 

 specials of a couple of other sorts that 

 chance to be especially well done. Many 

 of the carnations coming into town are 

 not up to market requirements. Beau- 

 ties are decidedly the best selling roses. 

 The best have stiffened in price. All 

 the grades realize fair prices. This is 

 not true of other roses. All but the 

 best drag. Cattieyas are abundant. 

 Gardenias are in request, due rather to 

 a lull between outdoor and indoor crops 

 of the flowers than to any heavy de- 

 mand. Violets have hardly got started 

 yet; doubles are in. The supply of 

 valley has increased in anticipation of 

 the demand. Easter lilies are in re- 

 quest. Fine oak foliage has come.
