Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from pagt 53) 



Business is nearly at 

 NEW YORK a standstill now. The 



amount of business 

 done in either retail or wholesale 

 lines is very small. The wholesale 

 market is congested with roses and 

 carnations and all sorts of outdoor 

 stock which the growers are sending 

 in daily but which remain on whole- 

 salers' counters until spoiled, when 

 they are thrown away. Many lots 

 barely realize enough to liquidate 

 transportation charges. 



Not a great deal 

 PHILADELPHIA doing last week, 

 and the flrst-class 

 stock to do it with corresponded. Car- 

 nations are falling off rapidly. There 

 are still a few good Boston Markets 

 and Winsors, but all other varieties 

 show up poorly. Maryland roses are 

 the best in the pink class and for 

 shipping, of course, Bride and Brides- 

 maid are the best, but good quality of 

 either other or both is very scarce at 

 present. Sweet peas are not of extra 

 substance now, and unless used the 

 :first day might as well be thrown out. 

 Lilies are about the only really satis- 

 factory item for a show in funeral 

 work. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Frank J. Farney, the Chicago rep- 

 resentative of M. Rice & Co., has been 

 in town for a week, paying his respects 

 to the firm and getting posted upon the 

 new season's novelties. He left, full 

 of enthusiasm, and confident they had 

 the goods to do the biggest season's 

 business on record, all over the west. 



Stock-taking at M. Rice & Co.'s is 

 now completed and imports are com- 

 ing In on every steamer. We shall 

 have something to say on their florists' 

 novelties for the coming season in the 

 near future — as Mr. Eschner has prom- 

 ised to show us some of the new goods 

 at the first spare moment either of us 

 can give for the benefit of our readers.
