A NEW FLOWER MARKET PRO- 

 POSED. 



We have receivd from one of the gen- 

 tlemen interested in the establishment 

 of another co-operative cut flower mar- 

 ket in New York city an interesting 

 account of the purposes of this project 

 and what it is proposed to do. The 

 following extracts give the main points 

 touched upon: 



"A meeting of the proposed Co-oper- 

 ative Groweis' Association was held at 

 the Fruit Auction Company's building 

 April 35th, which was well attended by 

 rose, violet, carnation and other grow- 

 ers, representing over a million feet of 

 glass devoted to cut flower growing, all 

 shippers to New York market. This 

 association is being formed with the 

 object in view of operating a sales- 

 room in New York city, with a compe- 

 tent manager, salesmen, bookkeeper, 

 etc., under the direction of a board of 

 directors elected by its members. De- 

 tails of incorporation, amount of capi- 

 talization etc., are in the hands of a 

 committee which will report at the 

 .next meeting. 



"ft is not the mission of this asso- 

 ciation to tr\- to lix an arbitrary price 

 on its goods, but by concentration to 

 redvtce the cost of selling and in all 

 probability add a supply department. 

 Similar concerns are successfully oper- 

 ated in other lines of business, perish- 

 able goods included, and it is claimed 

 that the ability of many of limited 

 capital to combine under efficient man- 

 agement and without incurring lia- 

 bility beyond the amount of their stock 

 subscription has been one of the chief 

 sources of the tremendous growth of 

 this country. 



"The next meeting will be held in the 

 same place, Saturday, May the 9th, at 

 " P. M., when all cut flower growers 

 for the New York market are invited 

 to attend, but no others will be ad- 

 mitted." 



The artistic and useful vases manu- 

 factured by the Kramer Fotmdry Co. 

 are specially adapted for cemeterj', 

 park and lawn use. Any florist who 

 carries a line of s-araples or who has a 

 catalogue at hand can make many 

 profitable sales at this season of the 

 year.
