Considerable assortments of chrys- anthemums still come in; most of them are not of particularly good quality. Seidewitz, Bonnaffon and Chadwick predominate. Violets are becoming more aggressive, and there will be a. fair supply for the holidays. The pres- ent price is $3 per hundred. Sweet peas are abundant, but are not selling well. Bachelor's buttons, yellow and white marguerites and calendulas are each in fairly good supply. Callas are not yet plentiful and sales of lilies are slow.

These, with berries and pine or spruce cones, are popular. Various Notes. Wollrath & Sons, of Waltham, cleaned out of begonias completely, although they had 25,000 in various sizes. All their cyclamens are sold, as well as poinse
