Small ferns for ferneries having sold well lastseason will probably be found in good supply thisWinter, and there is no particular change in pricesor in species, this having gotten down to a sortof standard, though a rather low one. To sum up briefly, the prosperity of the planttrade, (and we sincerely hope it will last for theseason) is not due to any artificial boom, but ratheris partly owing to the general prosperity of businessthroughout the country, and in part to a slightshortage of stock, and though there may not bemillions in it, we trust there may be a living in itfor the trade.
