NEW YORK MARKET. 



An embarrassing stagnation which 

 set in two weelcs ago and has been 

 growing more pronounced ever since 

 prevails in the cut flower trade, where- 

 by the second or third rate flower be- 

 comes the leader in selling power and 

 the finest grades are moved with ex- 

 treme slowness unless the wholesaler 

 is brought to accept the third class 

 price for same. In short, the local 

 trade in the leading florist stores has 

 fallen off until it is able to handle 

 only a small percentage of the grades 

 produced especially for its needs, and 

 the street trade and the distributors 

 who cater to the plebian buyer are the 

 main support and relief of the con- 

 gested wholesale market. This is par- 

 ticularly true as regards roses. Carna- 

 tions have not been excessively over- 

 stocked and are more readily unload- 

 ed but there are a good many bursted 

 and otherwise dilapidated specimens 

 on view. Lilies continue very irregu- 

 lar as to grade. Tulips hold their 

 own fairly well, especially some of the 

 best-grown doubles, but other bulbous 

 stock remains at bottom notch, and 

 violets are distinctly a street-stand 

 flower. Cattleyas are of excellent 

 quality and find a steady market. Den- 

 drobium Wardianura is seen in con- 

 siderable quantities. There are very 

 many tmdersized and otherwise imper- 

 fect gardenias at present, and even the 



best specimens are bringing only about 

 one-half of the prices returned two 

 weeks ago. The retail windows are 

 suggestive of the approach of Easter; 

 azaleas, hydrangeas, baby ramblers 

 and other flowering plants occupying 

 the space in which cut flowers were 

 predominant heretofore.
