NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The Thanksgiving results gave gen- 

 eral satisfaction. Prices for cut flow- 

 ers were not abnormal. In fact, the 

 level reached on Tuesday before the 

 holiday was the highest of the week, 

 and on the holiday itself prices had 

 returned to the usual quotations. 



The best Beauties brought 40 cents 

 before Thanksgiving. A few reach that 

 figure now, but 30 to 35 cents would be 

 a fairer average quotation. As high as 

 1.000 daily have been sent in from some 

 of the large growers. The market, how- 

 ever, is seldom surfeited, now that the 

 season has opened in society. All roses 

 are now at their best and in good de- 

 mand. Melody, of the new varieties, 

 is popular. Splendid Richmonds are 



Odozone

$2.00 per gallon— any quantity. Indispensable. 



H. D. NANN CO. • SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



Mention The Review when v lu write 



arriving and Killarney, Maryland, 

 Bride and Maid are at their best. It 

 is only in small lots, however, that 

 top figures are obtained. The inflow 

 of Killarneys is now enormous. 



The best carnations sell at 4 to 6 

 cents, the higher price for the novel- 

 ties. The demand was lighter as the 

 week opened, and some grand stock 

 fell to 3 cents Monday afternoon. Lilies 

 and valley maintain their values easily, 

 as do gardenias. Violets dropped from 

 $1.25 and $1.50, and $1 is likely to be 

 the top this weelc for them. The sur- 

 plus goes to the street merchants, as 

 rsnal, and they seem to be well sup- 

 plied. 



There are still enough chrysanthe- 

 mums to go around. Prices hold well 

 and the quality is superb. It is be- 

 lieved there will be no shortage of sup- 

 ply until the holidays. 



Smilax and stevia are the twin stocKS 

 that have become the footballs of the 

 buyers. It is hard to dispose of either 

 of them, and prices have fallen below 

 reason. The supply of green goods and 

 wild smilax is abundant. Some holly 

 is here. 



Orchids are "worth their weight in 

 gold;" $1.50 was offered November 28, 

 but with no response. It will be at 

 least two weeks before the supply is

Joseph Fenrich's oldest son met with 

 a painful accident last week, a heavy 

 wagon running over the toes of one 

 foot and badly crushing them. The 

 surgeon saved the little fellow's foot, 

 though amputation was at one time 

 suggested.
