The cool nights of the early part of last week had the effect of ehortening up the supply of flowers and increasing the demand. Carnations are coming in more plentifully and are bringing from $1 to $2 per hundred, according to the length of stem. Although not plenti- ful, there are enough roses to meet all demands, at from $2 to $8 per hundred. The stock at the latter price is the equal of any midwinter roses and is in good demand. Dahlias are good and are far more plentiful than they have been. They seem to have been a little more backward than usual this year and there has been no glut of them up to this writing. Delice is meeting vnth a ready sale and bringing good prices, but there is not a large supply of this variety. Of chrysanthemums, October Frost and October Yellow made their appearance October 1 and are really fine. Some indoor chrysanthemums are bringing up to $ per dozen and are worth the money. Cosmos is another addition to the market, although not in large supply. It is predicted that Wash- ington will see its first frost within the next ten days and that it will kill off the cosmos and prevent a glut. Various Notes. A large conservatory, which will cost approximately $22,000, is being added to the home of John R. McLean, at 1500 I street, northwest, after plans pre- pared by John Russell Pope, a New York architect. W. E. Leganger, representing the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, visited the stores in this city last week. Mr. Le- ganger reports business quite good with nim and showed a newly filled order book to prove his assertion. He stated that the florists in the places which he had visited are looking for a satisfac- tory fall and winter season. SOMERSWORTH, IM. H. Mention The Review when yon write.
