Trade continues to be 

 NEW YORK quite moderate but 



fairly steady. The 

 usual lull after New Years hangs on 

 exaspei-atingly and there is a lack of 

 tliat brisk activity in the wholesale 

 district which should mark the trad- 

 ing at the height of the mid-winter 

 season. All varieties of standard flow- 

 ers are being received in more than 

 ample supply and, as a rule, in excel- 

 lent quality with prospects good for an 

 abundance of everything right along. 

 But there is naturally a reluctance to 

 permit wholesale quotations to go any 

 lower than they are at present, at 

 least during January. Much stock 

 changes hands, however, at figures 

 considerably below quoted rates, but 

 to secure such bargains one must take 

 large quantities in original lots and 

 lay down the cash on the spot. 



Washington reports a shortage of 

 pink carnations and on white flowers 

 of every description. Red flowers are 

 also selling well. 



Detroit reports business as rather 

 quiet last week with stock accumulat- 

 ing a little. Bulb stock is becoming 

 more plentiful. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Twelve thousand a year for a twelve 

 by twenty flower store seems a good 

 deal in Philadelphia. But they tell us 

 that eighteen thousand is the rental 

 of a prominent Pittsburg flower store.

NEWS NOTES. 



Berlin, Conn. — W. H. Shumway, who 

 makes a specialty of seedling carna- 

 tions, has two or three new ones 

 ready for inspection. Mr. Shumway 

 extends a cordial invitation to any 

 who are interested in new varieties to 

 visit his place and see them. His 

 place is easy of access, ten minutes 

 by trolley from N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. 

 station at Berlin Junction. 



The boiler house and a small section 

 of the large greenhouse of Victor 

 Pauloz was destroyed by fire on the 

 morning of Dec. 31. The fire was dis- 

 covered by neighbors about 6 o'clock, 

 Mr. Pauloz having left the place on 



his customary trip to town earlier in 

 the morning. The main greenhouse 

 was saved by prompt and hard work, 

 but his stock was very much damaged, 

 including many palms, etc., in his 

 keep as "boarders." 



Atlantic City, N. J. — A movement is 

 on foot to provide and maintain, muni- 

 cipally, flower plots at the ocean end 

 of each avenue on the plan which has 

 been carried out each year by private 

 subscription in the case of Iowa ave. 

 The annual expense of maintaining 

 the latter is given as $46.59, and the 

 cost to the city for a full series from 

 Maine to Jackson avenues would not 

 amount to more than
