NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The coldest ■weather of the season ar- 

 rived on Sunday and zero temperature 

 was reached in the city. It is the first 

 old-fashioned winter New York has seen 

 for many a year. The snow-fall Sun- 

 day was over seven inches and over a 

 quarter of a million dollars was spent 

 in its removal. On Monday the severe 

 cold continued and business was about 

 paralyzed, as were the people. In the 

 morning the cold was intense, zero being 

 touched in several places, and shipments 

 of cut flowers reaching their destination 

 here frozen stiff and useless. Trains 

 were late, especially in the afternoon, 

 and some of the violet shipments were 

 hours behind schedule time, making mat- 

 ters very disagreeable and disappointing 

 for those having out-of-town custom- 

 ers. 



The market was utterly demoralized, 

 for the weather cut down the local de- 

 mand to about nothing, the only real 

 scarcity being violets. The best specials 

 again command $1.25, 100 in a bunch, 

 and are likely to be worth this for some 

 time to come, but they have to be per- 

 fect to reach this figure and the great 

 bulk of the shipments of first-class stock 

 sells at for 75 cents to $1. 



The Christmas slump is still a topic 

 for discussion. The lesson was a severe 

 one. If its effects are permanent, then 

 the experience was of more value than 

 all the losses aggregate and there is no 

 good reason why such a condition should 

 ever exist again. Easter is only eleven 

 weeks away and it seems as though every- 

 body who has suffered with ordinary 

 forethought may avoid such demoraliza- 

 tion in the future. 



The plantsmen have reaped the bene- 

 fit of the cut flower episode and if an 

 effort is made at Easter to advance val- 

 ues again beyond reasonable prices, 

 there will be a repetition of the ordeal. 

 The days of abnormal rates have passed 

 and they can never return.

With the change of the city oflScials 

 January 1, came the appointing of the 

 new park commissioner, John J. Pallas, 

 a well known politician, but whose 

 achievements as a horticulturist the fu- 

 ture will have to enfold. The floral tri- 

 butes sent the "city fathers" on their 

 accession to oflSee this year were, as

usual, abundant and beautiful. Tam- 

 many gets a great send-off and the new 

 mayor gives promise of an administra- 

 tion that will be a credit to himself and 

 the city. Great achievements in the park 

 department are promised in 1904. An- 

 other park is projected on the East River 

 near Barclay street, in the twelfth ward, 

 in a section where it is badly needed, and 

 the acquirement of the 4,000 acres on 

 the south shore of Staten Island will se- 

 cure to the city a section of desirable 

 land for park purposes unequaled in 

 any city in the world, a great ocean 

 beach park with bathing facilities unex- 

 celled.
