Correction. 



The following statement appeared in 

 this column last week : ' ' Yellow chrys- 

 anthemums were in great demand, 

 bringing $4 and $5, and some select 

 Ghadwicks $6 per dozen, while ordinary 

 stock that usually sells for $1 per dozen 

 often realized $15 in hundred lots." 

 This was intended to be taken in con- 

 junction with the listed quotation that 

 appeared on page 59, of "Mums, fancy, 

 $3 to $4 per dozen.'' In other words, 

 the prices quoted in this column are 

 extraordinary only, and intended to 

 bring out the strong feature of the 

 market, which in this instance was that 

 yellow chrysanthemums and violets 

 were popular and high in price. The 

 number of yellow chrysanthemums that 

 brought over $3 was small and their 

 quality unusual. 



The Bising Eastern Market. 



Winter has come. December opened 

 'with a snow storm unshared by our 

 brethren in New York and has been 

 followed by another of much larger pro- 

 portion. Stock has shortened. The 

 dark weather and the wane of the 

 chrysanthemum season are responsible, 

 excepting in carnations. 



Carnations are scarcer than anything 

 else on the list. They have taken a 

 decided advance in price, due, undoubt- 

 edly, to the short supply. The Wards 

 have gone up to $8, while fancy stock, 

 well grown, of the better varieties 

 brings from $4 to $6. Older sorts and 

 stock of moderate degree brings from 

 $2 to $3. These figures are quoted be- 

 cause they are remarkable for the first 

 week in December. 



Boses are improving and sell well. 

 White is easier. Cattleyas continue 

 scarce and high in price. Gardenias 

 and valley are in demand, with not 

 enough for all orders. Sweet peas are 

 plentiful and some of them excellent for 

 the season. Violets are much easier 

 since the holiday; there is no special 

 call for them. Snapdragons are im- 

 proving, some longer stemmed stock be- 

 ing seen. There are still some Baby 

 chrysanthemums about, but Jeanne
