biles and so many are wishing they j 

 could, that the coming floral auto par- ! 

 ade. May 7th, is of unusual interest. 

 Possibly the elaborate decorations of 

 500 autos will call for such a quantity j 

 of flowers as to bring the realization 

 of their hopes a little nearer. 



Market conditions 

 CINCINNATI the greater part of 

 the past week were 

 about the same as the week previous, 

 the only difference being a slight de- 

 crease in the supply of carnations and 

 roses. With the majority of the grow- 

 ers carnations are going off crop very 

 rapidly. Outdoor tulips are in abun- 

 dant supply and sales very slow. Sweet 

 peas are still scarce with the demand 

 very good. The supply of lilies and 

 callas has .diminished, with prices 

 slightly better. Smilax remains scarce 

 with Plumosus and Sprengeri in over- 

 supply. On Friday and Saturday busi- 

 ness assumed a different tone and 

 prices were more firm than they have 

 been for the past -two weeks, this no 

 doubt being due to the increased out- 

 of-town demand. The demand for 

 long-stemmed Beauties was good. 



Spring comes on 

 NEW YORK apace and the usual 

 conditions prevailing 

 in the cut flower market in early part 

 of May are now in full sway here. The 

 supply of everything in greenhouse 

 product is still very plentiful, violets 

 alone accepted, and the profusion is 

 augmented by the influx of outdoor 

 material, especially bulb flowers and 

 lilacs. Violets are finished up and 

 their departure was neither brilliant 

 nor sensational. Should the season 

 maintain its present precocity the Me- 

 morial Day question looms up as an 

 occasion for some fine guessing. 



Market last week 

 PHILADELPHIA was quite an im- 

 provement over 

 the previous — especially towards the 

 latter part. Stock cleared up in good 

 shape on Saturday. There was an ap- 

 preciable falling off in the quantity of 

 stock arriving, and the tone of the 

 market was distinctly better. Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses continue in good 

 crop, and have moved off in fair shape,

although at low figures in most in- 

 stances. The out-of-town demand was 

 quite good, and helped the local situa- 

 tion very much. Richmonds are good 

 quality, unusually fine for this season. 

 Brides, Bridesmaids, the Killarneys 

 and Maryland are also good, but the 

 demand is sluggish on all grades. Car- 

 nations have eased up as to crop, and 

 the market has toned up a little. The 

 quality is very good — considering the 

 long spell of warm weather. Lily of 

 the valley is selling very well and at 

 normal prices. There has been very 

 little surplus. Orchids are plentiful — 

 especially Cattleya Schroederae and 

 Mossiae. A few Lady Campbell vio- 

 lets are coming in of extra good qual- 

 ity for the season. Gardenias are plen- 

 tiful, with demand rather sluggish. 

 Sweet peas are cleaning up much bet- 

 ter; the crop has eased up some and 

 the demand has improved enough to 

 absorb all. Lilies are still in evidence, 

 and go slow at medium prices. Market 

 for callas overstocked. Some very fine 

 snapdragon coming in — all colors good 

 • — but particularly the white and yel- 

 low. Asparagus plumosus plentiful. 

 Smilax still shy. Good ferns hard to 

 get. 



NEWS NOTES. 

 New York, N. Y.— W. A. Blaedel & 

 Son is now the firm name of the con- 

 cern doing business at 402 West 23rd 



street. 



Napervllle, 111.— The N. Saylor 

 greenhouses have been purchased by 

 Chas. Bond of Philadelphia. He will 

 engage in orchid growing for the Chi- 

 cago market. 



We learn that burglars have again 

 entered the wholesale florist establish- 

 ment of George Saltford on West 2Sth 

 street, New York. All they managed 

 to get after blowing the safes and tear- 

 ing things up generally was a few pen- 

 nies and a couple of boxes of cigars. 

 Of the latter the New York Journal 

 says, "They took the good ones." We 

 presume these latter were intended for 

 presentation to likely consignors. The 

 burglars evidently have not had access 

 to the trade papers of late, else a 

 wholesale establishment in the cut 

 flower line would be the last place 

 they would expect to find money just 

 now. But Saltford does have the pose 

 and dignity of mein characteristic of 

 a gentleman of wealth and affluent 

 leisure, and that must have impressed 

 the cracksmen for the second time 

 within eighteen months.
