The Market. 



The week before Thanksgiving was 

 rather quiet in cut flower circles. 

 Supplies fell off materially, but the de- 

 mand was quite light. The present 

 week started with rather more activity 

 and prices November 22 were decidedly 

 firmer. All indications point to an ade- 

 quate supply of cut flowers, with the 

 possible exception of violets, which are 

 in light crop. Prices on both singles 

 and doubles have varied from $1 to 

 $1.50 per hundred for the last week. 

 Growers are all complaining that their 



giants are producing lightly just now. 

 hrysanthemums still are abundant, but 

 the present week should see the bulk of 

 them sold. Bonnaffon remains the lead- 

 er and probably as many flowers are 

 seen of this old favorite as all others 

 combined. Nagoya, Shrimpton, Inten- 

 sity, Maud Dean, Chadwick, W. T. 

 Brock, White Eaton, Yellow Eaton and 

 Mrs. Jerome Jones are other varieties 

 seen. The Eatons do not sell as in 

 previous years and some growers will 

 drop them another season. 



Roses are not overabundant and are 

 selling better. A good Thanksgiving 

 crop of these is forthcoming, and, 

 thanks to the colder and more season- 

 able weather, the quality is much im- 

 proved. Some excellent Beauties, with 

 long stems, are seen. Killarneyand WTiite 

 Killarney are fine. Mrs. Aaron Ward 

 remains a prime favorite. Of Chatenay 

 one or two growers are sending splendid 

 blooms. Bride and Maid are slow to 

 move. Kaiserin is getting scarce. Car- 

 nations are coming with longer stems 

 and will be in good supply for the holi- 

 day this week. Crimson and scarlet 

 varieties have of late sold exception- 

 ally well. 



A few Roman hyacinths are coming 

 in and Paper Whites are more abun- 

 dant. Stevia is coming from several 

 growers. Valley seen is of moderate 

 quality only and sales have been rather 

 slow. Lilies are selling well. Callas 

 as yet are scarce. Some nice pink antir- 

 rhinum is seen, also ten weeks' stocks.

The latter does not sell well. Mignon- 

 ette of good quality is to hand, while 

 the supply or marguerites is rather 

 larger. 



Gardenias are selling quite well, as 

 are cattleyas. C. labiata is getting 

 scarce, but C. Percivaliana and even a 

 few C. Trianaj have appeared. There 

 is a good supply of cypripediums and 

 other seasonable orchids, and these are 

 being displayed in more stores than ever 

 before. Green supplies are abundant, 

 of excellent quality and the demand for 

 them has been quite good. 



Plant trade has braced up consider- 

 ably. In flowering plants, azaleas, 

 camellias. Primula Sinensis, P. obconica. 

 Daphne Indica, Lorraine begonias and 

 chrysanthemums are the sorts mostly 

 seen, while Christmas peppers, berried 

 solanums and Otaheite oranges are also
