The -wholesale dis- 

 NEW YORK trict is still in a 



state of extreme dull- 

 ness. There have been a few spurts 

 but of short duration and very mild 

 in force, and the amount of material 

 disposed of to proper advantage is 

 very small. Asters continue to block 

 the way for anything else. They are 

 of fine quality in some instances but 

 there are lots of them that are of 

 low grade and on such it is not often 

 that express charges are realized. Some 

 dealers do not handle asters at all, 

 and these appear to have the best 

 of the situation. Roses from young 

 stock are still very diminutive as to 

 size, but they show evidences of care 

 and attention and as a rule are clean 

 and of good color. Tritomas are be- 

 ing received in large quantities and 

 the dahlia receipts are increasing. 

 Gladioli are in lighter supply. Con- 

 fidence in the future and a willingness 

 to forget the past if only the imme- 

 diate future will make amends, seems 

 to be a prevalent sentiment among all 

 classes of the trade. 



Towards the end 

 PHILADELPHIA of the week busi- 

 ness picked up 

 considerably; but on the average trad- 

 ing was slow, and no marked improve- 

 ment on previous conditions. This 

 week starts out rather briskly and the

market at this writing has a distinctly 

 better tone, with prospects fairly good. 

 Dahlias are much, better both as to 

 quality and quantity, the recent rains 

 having done them a lot of good. They 

 are selling well, at medium prices 

 mostly, although certain fancy sorts 

 bring good figures. There are many 

 lotp of extra fine asters arriving, and 

 an avalanche of those that are not 

 so good, with a few wagon loads daily 

 of the castaway brand, the latter be- 

 ing, of course, unsalable at any price. 

 Chrysanthemums are in, the harbin- 

 gers being October Frost and Golden 

 Glow. The quality is nothing to brag 

 about so far as we have seen, and 

 there is no mad rush among the buy- 

 ers to bag these early beauties appar- 

 ently. American Beauty roses are 

 still the only scarce thing on the list, 

 but these will be over the hump in a 

 few days and will be more plentiful 

 and better before this appears in print. 

 My Maryland is in demand and plenti- 

 ful. Little change to be noted in 

 other varieties. Carnations are hard- 

 ly worth talking about; they are mis- 

 erable looking lot jtist now — faint, 

 famished and few. We are sorry for 

 them. Lily of the valley continues 

 scarce, and Easter lilies are again on 

 the short side for the time being. 

 Orchids are almost a negligible quan- 

 tity; a few Cattleya Harrisoniae and 

 Dendrobium formosum being about 

 all. Gaidenias are good and selling 

 well, ilany poor gladioli are coming 

 in and there is no sale for such. Tri- 



tomas are good but go slowly as yet. 

 Their time will come when autumn 

 foliage effects are in order. Plenty 

 of tuberoses this week and going all 

 right at fair quotations. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr.. is having a large 

 si ore fitted tip on the street floor of 55- 

 57 West 26th street. New York, for his 

 wholesale cut flower business. The 

 store has a very wide and light front 

 and will be one cf the best in the 

 wholesale district when completed. A 

 new ice box, 8 x 15 ft., has been in- 

 stalled. As heretofore, violets will be 

 the main stock handled by Mr. Slinn.
