The shortage of stock was so acute that hardly an order, especially of roses, was filled complete- ly. The slump in the rose crop during the previous week was even more marked and it was impossible to do anything on most orders. This condi- tion helped the sale of chrysanthemums to a great extent and, although there was a large crop of mums, they cleaned up entirely. Taken all in all, Thanks- giving trade was satisfactory.

The shortage of stock was so acute that hardly an order, especially of roses, was filled complete- ly. The slump in the rose crop during the previous week was even more marked and it was impossible to do anything on most orders. This condi- tion helped the sale of chrysanthemums to a great extent and, although there was a large crop of mums, they cleaned up entirely. Taken all in all, Thanks- giving trade was satisfactory. There was a general clean-up and the demand was brisk to the last minute. Mums are on the wane and will not last much longer, with the exception of some Bonnaflfons, which are arriving in fine shape. Carnations were in abun- dant supply, but the stock was excep- tionally fine and the demand was larger than the supply, thus cleaning up the market daily at good prices. Lilies are scarce at this time. There is not much demand for this stock and the dark weather has retarded the crop greatly. Valley remains extremely scarce and the demand is quite heavy. Orchids are short in supply and ^re cleaning out at top-notch prices. The charity ball will create an extra large demand for valley and orchids. Violets are not increasing in number and the dftnand still far exceeds the supply. This stock is steadily improv- ing in quality and some exceptionally fine stock is being disposed of. From present indications, the shoi^age on roses will not be alleviated for some time. Prices are holding up well; every- thing that looks like a bloom is being disposed of with no trouble. During Thanksgiving the shortage was princi- Sally in Russell, Ophelia, Hoosier ieauty and the other fancy roses. Various Notes. Alfred Schiller, of the Schiller Floral Co., is ill and it is expected that he will be taken to the hospital to under- go an operation. His many friends send him best wishes for a speedy recovery. At
