TO GROWERS 



Having decided to resume business as a WHOLEISALE FLORIST, I wish to notify my 

 friends that I have secured the store — 53 West 28th St., New York, which is well adapted to 

 the requirements of a wholesale florist's business, and is 



In the centre of the CUT FLOWER MARKET DISTRICT 



Consignments of stock are solicited and consignors are assured that their consignments will 

 be handled with a full knowledge of market conditions and to the best advantage. 



An experience extending over 25 years in the cut flower commission business, justifies me in 

 the assertion that all consignments entrusted to me will have the same attention that growers 

 themselves could give to their products in open market, plus the assurance which comes from an 

 intimate knowledge of the trade and trade conditions in New York. 



Our facilities are such that consignments, great or small, will be well cared for, and the 

 handling of all flowers will be in the direction of the best returns to be offered by the market.

asters, grown in Winnipeg, Man., Can., 

 were shown in tiie market. They com- 

 pared favorably in every way with the 

 best grown here. Among tlie best this 

 week are the old favorites. *Rose King 

 and Violet King, with petals of the 

 quill type, and the large shaggy Kre- 

 go, both of which are quickly bought 

 up. 



Business begins to 

 NEW YORK show some faint signs 



of returning anima- 

 tion. It has been the longest, drear- 

 iest, dull summer that tlie> flower trade 

 of this city has ever passed through 

 and the revival cannot come too soon, 

 although not much can be hoped for 

 as long as salubrious weatlier contin- 

 ues and makes auto touring a pleas- 

 ure. Quality is gradually working up 

 on roses, carnations and some other 

 things. The heavy burden of asters, 

 gladioli and dahlias is in the way, 

 however, of any appreciation in value

 which are very scarce and longiflorum 

 lilies, which are less overstocked than 

 they have been. Lily of the valley has 

 been a good seller all summer. 



The local niarljet was 

 ST. LOUIS in bad shaiie during 



the last week. There 

 was entirely too much stock and the 



demand was slow, so a great deal of 

 stock had to be dumped. Quality in 

 roses is becoming much better. Car- 

 nations are still small and short in 

 stem. The great glut of the week 

 was in asters, gladioli and tuberose 

 stalks and cheap prices prevailed on 

 all these.
