PHILADELPHIA. 



The Bising Ea4stem Market. 



There has been a decided improve- 

 ment in the cut flower market. The de- 

 mand proves sufficiently strong to take 

 most of the good stock coming to town. 

 Prices have been firm; in some cases 

 they have advanced. 



Chrysanthemums continue to be the 

 leading flower. The late varieties are 

 in full crop. Yellow is more plenti- 

 ful than any other color. So healthy 

 has been the tone of the market that 

 the experts confidently predict a buoyant 

 Thanksgiving. They base this predic- 

 tion on the certainty of a decreased 

 supply and on the probability of an in- 

 creased demand. As usual toward the 

 end of the season, pompons find favor 

 with the buyers, while singles, when 

 they can be had, prove popular. 



Koses are decidedly oflf crop with 

 nearly all the growers. Everybody crops 

 for December nowadays, although a few 

 of the knowing ones are bringing some 

 houses in for Thanksgiving. Beauties 

 have not been in especial demand, but 

 other roses have been, causing firmer 

 prices. Short white roses have sold 

 well in direct contrast to the longer 

 grades. There has been a decided in- 

 crease in the demand for Richmond. 



Carnations have enjoyed their first 

 boom since the arrival of the autumn 

 queen. The Wards, Pink Delight and 



a few fancy blooms of other sorts ad- 

 vanced to 4 cents in face of strong de- 

 mand and light receipts. A curious 

 change came over the violet market, the 

 singles, so far the leaders, giving place

to the doubles as favorites without any 

 apparent reason, unless it be that both 

 Hightstown and the Hudson river are 

 shipping superb stock. Valley has been 

 short of the demand at times. Gar- 

 denias have increased to an extent that 

 exceeds requirements. The chief fea- 



ture of the orchid situation is that no- 

 body wants Cattleya Percivaliana; they 

 are too small, and prices must be low 

 to move them. Superbum is the leading 

 oncidium. Cypripediums are becoming 

 more plentiful. Both Easter lilies and 

 callas are in fair demand. Paper
