New wholesale houses 

 NEW YORK and rumors of new 

 wholesale houses 

 amuse and vex by turns the deni- 

 zens of 28th street, who naturally 

 look askance at any further ad- 

 ditions to the lengthening line of 

 brokers among whom the already 

 too slender profits of the whole- 

 sale dealer must be divided. This 

 is something, however, that gives no 

 worry to the average flower grower, 

 who is apt rather to encourage a mul- 

 tiplication of distributors, for obvious 

 reasons. Up to present time there is 

 enough stock and to spare for every 

 ambitious wholesaler, and the goods 

 are much more abundant than the buy- 

 ers as a rule. But the limit has been 

 about reached if the experience of 

 past years is any criterion, and with 

 the finish of aster, gladiolus and dahlia 

 I a jacking up of demand and prices on 

 1 other material would seem to be in 

 order soon. Politics for the next few 



weeks is apt to hold down any very 

 sportive tendency on the part of the 

 public, however, and anyone looking 

 for a famine or old-fashioned inflation 

 of values will have a most excellent 

 opportunity to practice up on patience. 

 Quality is improving all along the 

 line. Roses that the most hardened 

 bargainer would be ashamed to even 

 give to a street fakir are giving place 

 to really nice if not over-large stock. 

 Carnations are steadily progressing 

 toward the winter standard. Violets 

 are gaining in quality and quantity 

 but unfortunately the demand seems 

 going the other way. Chrysanthemums 

 such as Glory of the Pacific and Polly 

 Rose give a foretaste of what is com- 

 ing and cattleyas jumped inside of 48 

 hours from the scarce column to ple- 

 thoric abundance. But, alas, just as 

 things begin to come our way, cross- 

 town transfers are discontinued and 

 lots of our friends must either pay 

 double fare or walk. Isn't it awful, 

 Frank?
