NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The Indian summer continues. Finer 

 weather than that of last week and the 

 first part of this week cannot be de- 

 sired. Shipments are light as the week 

 opens and prices are steady or improv- 

 ing. Evidently some of the growers 

 are holding back, as usual, for Thanks- 

 giving. Business on account of the 

 horse show had but small encourage- 

 ment for the florists, but the football 

 match November 19 absorbed every- 

 thing in blue and red and lifted the 

 price of violets to the top figures of the 

 year. There now is no good reason 

 why we should not have a successful 

 and constantly improving season. The 

 great harvest has insured general pros- 

 perity and the florists will enjoy a win- 

 ter of old-time profit, unless all signs 

 fail. 



The flood of chrysanthemums shows 

 no evidence of abating. The antici- 

 pated shortage for Thanksgiving has 

 not materialized. For the best stock 

 prices have hardened and all that ar- 

 rive are quickly disposed of. Apple- 

 ton, Bonnaffon, Gold Mine, Eaton, 

 Golden Wedding, Chadwick, Maud Dean 

 and Enguehard are the favorites among 

 the older varieties. For some of the 

 new ones the price of $6 per dozen has 

 been maintained. From this height 

 down to $5 per hundred, the best va- 

 riety and quality the New York market 

 has ever received makes its daily bid 

 tor recognition. 



If there is any scarcity for Thanks- 

 giving it will be of orchids, and of 

 violets and gardenias there will be no

more than the market will absorb. In 

 plants for this holiday trade there are 

 fine begonias and cyclamens, and any 

 quantity of mums in pots, while the 

 fern and palm supply is unlimited. 



Many fine carnations are arriving, 

 Alma Ward and Mrs. Ward still main- 

 taining their supremacy. Beacon and 

 Winsor are popular, also Enchantress 

 and White Perfection. The best quality 

 of the season now prevails and the se- 

 lects were selling at 4 cents November 

 21. Violets slumped to 75 cents per 

 hundred as the week began, which was 

 natural after the great demand of Sat- 

 urday. The New Haven retailers 

 must ha^''e reaped a fat harvest. 

 Cattleyas are worth $1 each and there 

 is no sign yet of a supply sufl5cient for 



the demand. Cypripediums are abun- 

 dant and sell at $12 to $15 per hun- 

 dred. There is some bouvardia arriv- 

 ing. Eoses now are at their best and 

 prices are improving. Long-stemmed 

 Beauties are rapidly approaching the 

 50-cent quality and the best of them 

 may reach high tide for Thanksgiving; 

 25 cents to 35 cents was the Saturday 

 quotation. 



In other roses Killarney seems to be 

 the favorite. Bride and Maid are ex- 

 tra fine. Some grand Eichmonds ar- 

 rive daily. The few arrivals of the 

 new roses are spoken for before ship- 

 ment. Callas, narcissi and hyacinths 

 have begun their bid for favor. Lilies 

 are in greater demand and valley holds 

 at 4 cents for the best. Adiantum and
