The flower trade has 

 NEW YORK been most inspiriting 

 for the past few days, 

 as a retail proposition. From the 

 wholesale point of view the outlooli is 

 not so rosy The fact is, that a tre- 

 mendous business is being done in both 

 plants and flowers and no fault can be 

 found with the New York public — up- 

 per ten or lower ten. Business lags 

 In the wUoleFale marts and markets, 

 however, for it takes nothing less than 

 a bliz/.aid to shut off the tremendous 

 tidal wave of material which rolls into 

 the wholesale establishments here ev- 

 ery day. The retail trade may be 

 booming but no inroad that it can 

 make will disturb to any extent the 

 lethargy that annoys and irritates the 

 wholesale dealer. The truth is that 

 the growers are producing too much 

 for the legitimate needs of the local 

 market and history tells why the ship- 

 ping trade of the largest flower market 

 in the world is moribund. It is true 

 that no city can digest a surplus in bet- 

 ter fashion than New York can. It is 

 also true that the best surplus digester 

 that ever was found — a shipping trade 

 — is "a dead one" long ago and there 

 Is nothing left except local trade. All 

 kinds of flowers are abundant and 

 Quality was never better. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are nearing their end but wher- 

 ever one turns that old standby, Mrs.

Jerome Jones, is in evidence. Con- 

 temporary with Ivory this unrivalled 

 standard chrysanthemum still holds its 

 own. Is there any other variety ex- 

 cept Mrs. Jerome Jones and Ivory left 

 of the brilliant stars of 1S92? 



The first week of 

 PHILADELPHIA December proved 



fairly normal as 

 to demand, but there was far too much 

 stock. The quoted figures were all 

 light for early sales; but there was a 

 big accumulation by end of the week, 

 and the slaughter of the innocents, 

 then, was frightful — bringing the aver- 

 age returns for the growers down to 

 almost unbelievable figures. There was 

 no special class suffering more than 

 another — too much of everything all 

 along the line. The plant market is 

 brisk. Holly and other greens also in 

 lively demand.
