was rather a dis- 

 appointment. Trading started off quite 

 briskly in the first day or two; but 

 made a bad slump later. By Friday and 

 Saturday there was a tremendous accu- 

 mulation of flowers with demand at 

 a very low ebb. Good sweet yeas sold 

 well; but there were enormous quan- 

 tities of inferior stock which would 

 not go at all. Many of the sweet pea 

 shipments opened up badly — appearing 

 soft and watersoaked. Such stock may 

 have looked all right to the grower 

 when packing; but at destination 

 proved quite unsaleable as a rule. 

 Roses were altogether too plentifuL 

 Carnations also suffered. The general 

 demand was away below expectations 

 and while the trolley strike undoubted- 

 ly hurt local conditions it could not be 

 blamed for the lack of life in the ship- 

 ping trade. Peonies as a rule were 

 very good and were one of the most 

 ' satisfactory items. While they did 

 not bring high prices, there was no

great surplus and the tremendous sac- 

 rifices that were made in roses were 

 conspicuous by their absence in peo- 

 nies. Southern gardenias have made 

 their appearance, which practically 

 winds up the market for local green- 

 house grown, for the time being. The 

 June girl is using up lots of lily of the 

 valley, which is generally of excellent 

 quality at present. Gladiolus America 

 is arriving, and is in grand shape. May 

 and Bride gladioli are also to be seen 

 in limited lots. Hemerocallis, yellow 

 and orange; Iris sibrica; Gaillardia 

 and Centaurea, are among the prom- 

 inent outdoor items. Nympheas are to 

 be seen in the wholesale market in 

 spots; but these are not from local 

 outdoor sources. Smilax is plentiful, 

 also adiantuni, plumosus and all other 

 greens. 



June has not shown 

 NEW YORK any special activity 

 thus far. Indeed, the 

 state of business in the wholesale dis- 

 tricts is unmistakably on the dull side 

 and sales are effected only at sacri- 

 fice figures. Roses and carnations 

 show plenty of evidence of the wear 



and tear of the season, many of the- 

 rotes being very inferior and often 

 badly mildewed and the carnations 

 running small and faded. Cattleyas 

 are very plentiful and there are lots 

 of low grade blooms among them 

 which are practically unsalable, al- 

 though on fancy fiowers of gigas top 

 prices are generally maintained. The 

 gardenia situation is peculiar at pres- 

 ent. Southern outdoor blooms are be- 

 ing peddled by basketsful on the 

 streets, yet the price on the green- 

 house product remains high for first 

 quality but very few of that kind are 

 seen, most of the stock being far in- 

 ferior to the southern shipped and con- 

 sequently unsalable at any figure. Peo- 

 nies are abundant, some of them be- 

 ing of superb quality. Corn fiowers, 

 stocks, gladioli, pyrethrums, irises, 

 etc., are seen in quantities everywhere, 

 sweet peas of every description and 

 grade are crowding in and the first 

 shipments of mountain laurel in bloom 

 have begun to arrive. Lilies are ex- 

 periencing a hard time, the receipts 

 being far in excess of the normal re- 

 quirements of this market.
