FIEST OF NOVBMBEBSEESUNPRECBDENTED DEMAND FOR FLOWEBS.—CHRYSANTHE- MUMS IK BETTER SHAPE THAN EVER. As far as I can remember no previous All Saints' Day at New Orleans saw the quantity of flowers used that we handled this year. Flowers were everywhere, piled up on the sidewalks, in the stores and at the markets. Not only was the quantity immense, but the quality was lar superior to other seasons. Never before have all our florists been so suc- cessful in gro wing large chrysanthemums, which were the flowers most in demand. I must say that this success was princi- pally due to the weather, which has been all that could be desired, but still there is also a better knowledge and attention given to the work. When we get to growing them under glass instead of trusting their buds to a single cover of canvas they will certainly do better yet and then very few orders will go north. Prices were from $1 to $3 per dozen for home grown stock, northern blooms sell- ing as high as from $4 to $6. Dahlias were 40 cents and 50 cents a dozen, but at the last moment became a drug and sold as low as 5 cents a dozen. Car- nations were $1 a dozen. Designs sold very poorly, the larger demand being for bunches of flowers. E. Valdjo has just finished building a new house and renovating the old ones. He has a very fine stock of palms, also a large lot of that favorite fern, Nephrolepis Davallioides furcans. M. M. L. Rhinebeck, N. Y.—Wm. Wechesser is building a new house for violets. Fos Du Lac, Wis.—E. Haentze says that business is good at his place and that he expects a big season. Seattle, Wash. — The Washington Floral Company says that the season is opening in good shape.
