At noon a luncheon was served at the 

 greenhouses, after which automobiles

 anthemums at Hill's.

NEW YOBK. 



Tlie Market. 



The whole of last week was ideal for 

 the flower shows, every one of them 

 proving the best in the records of the 

 several horticultural societies, but a 

 cold rain ushers in the present week, 

 and we may depend upon killing frosts. 

 In some sections near us the outdoor 

 blooms are still untouched. It has been 

 a wonderful season for dahlias and cos- 

 mos. 



The chrysanthemum still is king. Its 

 prestige has been greatly enhanced dur- 

 ing the last ten days, as it has domin- 

 ated every exhibition. Immense quan- 

 tities are arriving daily and prices are 

 far from satisfactory, compared with 

 other years. Few of the best ever go 

 above $4 to $5 a dozen. The bulk of 

 the salable stock is held at from 20 

 cents each down to $5 per hundred. 

 There is little demand for the bunches. 

 So reasonable have been the wholesale 

 rates for the decorative flowers that 

 every retail window is a mum show. 



Roses are overabundant and there has 

 been a clearing up of the surplus lower 

 even than $5 per thousand. Even the 

 best grades have not advanced above 

 the low quotations of October. No fault 

 can be found with the quality. It is 

 now superb. The novelties are in de- 

 mand. The craze for new things al- 

 ways is in evidence in New York, and 

 especially where there is such uniform 

 merit. Few of the old favorites, Bride 

 and Maid, are seen in comparison with 

 the quantity of Maryland and Kil- 

 larney. 



Carnations have not sold above $2 

 per hundred and most of the grand 

 stock arriving goes for $1 or less. Dou- 

 ble the present prices were obtainable 

 a year ago. The same may be said of 

 lilies, which have been selling at the 

 price of valley, $2 to $4 per hundred. 

 The best gardenias sell at $4 a dozen. 

 Orchids have not gone above 50 cents 

 •each. Violets must be extra and in
