. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 530 The American Florist. Oct. lo, New York. PBOSrECTS GOOD. Business was quiet during the greater part of last week with renewed activity on Saturday. Large quantities of stock are being sold but as the supply is always somewhat larger than the demand, the wholesalers are not perfectly happy. American Beauty roses are arriving in quantities that are almost surprising for so early in the season, consequently there is little hope of any advance in prices for some time to come. Their quality is excellent and many are selling at prices that in former years would have appeared sacrificial, but we are now facing changed conditions. All condi- ditions considered, business might be much worse and it will be surprising if from now on there is not steady improve- ment. \t the same time it will be well for all interested to be moderate in their expectations. We cannot foretell what the short days and the long nights of win- ter may bring forth, but present indica- tions point to large crops of all the staple cut flowers, and if this forecast holds good there will be an immense volume of stock to dispose of. The vio- let industry has our best wishes but candor compels the statement that the outlook is not promising. The popular- ity and reduced prices of orchids and gardenias over former years, has placed them within the reach of a much larger class and there can be no doubt that it will continue to have an unfavorable effect on the sale of violets. October 5.—There is a marked in- crease in the quantity of chrysanthemums arriving, with a fair movement. The conditions remain about the same in other stocks with a tendency to falling off in the demand on account of the influx of chrysanthemums. Many vio- lets have sold at lower prices than those quoted: 25 to 40 cents per 100 are the prices for first choice. NATIOUAI, FLOWER SHOW.
