The Sising Eastern Market. 



With the week ending November 20 

 a crisis has been passed. The load of 

 chrysanthemums has been greater than 

 at any time this season, or any other 

 season. Now it is growing lighter. 

 Such vast quantities of chrysanthemums 

 have been hard to sell at paying prices. 

 When there is so much stock the buy- 

 ers bear heavily, with marked effect. 

 Prices have been extremely low, par- 

 ticularly 80 on Bonnaffon, a variety that 

 seems to be in every shipment. The 

 wholesale house that could dispose of 

 all its chrysanthemums at a modest 

 average price had cause for satisfac- 

 tion. The fancy blooms of some fine 

 varieties frequently realized $3, and oc- 

 casionally $4, per dozen, but the moment 

 that variety became plentiful or the 

 quality went to select or ordinary, down 

 went the prices. There was no telling 

 where they would stop. Yellow is the 

 leading color. Appleton is almost un- 

 heard of today, but Bonnaffon is every- 

 where. Unfortunately, the mild weather 

 is not best suited for this variety, giv- 

 ing the buyers much cause for com- 

 plaint. Golden Chadwick is probably 

 the finest orange yellow. Golden Wed- 

 ding, Golden Eagle and Yellow Eaton 

 are all good. Jeanne Nonin has made 

 its appearance. Chadwick, Timothy 

 Eaton and White Bonnaffon form the 

 white brigade. Maud Dean is not gen- 

 erally in form this year. Chadwick 

 Supreme is the best pink. Dr. Engue- 

 hard, over with many growers, is just 

 coming in with a few. Then there are

Balfour and Balsley. I have not seen 

 Mrs. Jerome Jones. Pompons are freely 

 used, generally at prices that hardly 

 seem as though they could be remunera- 

 tive. Indications point to a good sup- 

 ply of chrysanthemums for Thanksgiv- 

 ing. The height of their season is over. 



The heavy intake of chrysanthemums 

 has depressed the rest of the market. 

 Lilies have been neglected. Boses, ex- 

 cepting Beauties, have realized ex- 

 tremely low prices. Carnations have, 

 fortunately, not been in heavy crop. 

 Violets have shown an improvement in
