Chrysanthemums are becoming more plentiful every day and the stock may be said to be rapidly improving in quali- ty also. Golden Glow is past, Crocus is becoming popular and so is Monrovia, the first of which appeared this week. Crystal Gem has succeeded October Frost, and it is very good indeed for this time of the year. They are all bringing fairly good prices.

A few excel- lent Spencer sweet peas are being re- ceived. This stock is a fine seller, the only difficulty being to get enough to fill orders. A few cattleyas are begin- ning to show now. The supply how- ever, is very short and will be for some time. There are plenty of gardenias for all requirements, and in the absence of orchids, they move rapidly.
