IMcCALLUM CO., PITTSBURGH, PA, 



was rehearsing a stunt with several 

 large king snakes when one of them 

 became dissatisfied with his treatment 

 and closed his powerful jaws over the 

 fat portion of his charmer's left hand, 

 leaving four fangs ' embedded in the 

 flesh. It was but a short time ago that 

 a young boa constrictor performed a 

 similar stunt, with Mr. Kramer as the 

 victim, but still he continues to charm. 



T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburgh Cut 

 Flower Co., Pittsburgh; William F. 

 Easting, of Buffalo, and Theodore Ou- 

 terbridge, of Hamilton, Bermuda, were 

 the week's visitors. 



Local growers are reported to be buy- 

 ing Harrisii lily bulbs in greater num- 

 bers this year than usual. Although 

 having had a rather unpleasant experi- 

 ence in producing them, they realize 

 that when they do come good they are 

 profitable lilies to grow. C. L. L. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The present week opens gloomy, damp 

 and chill, but with just the kind of 

 weather the seedsmen and nurserymen 

 want to prolong their season. 



In the' cut flower market there were 

 no white carnations left Saturday eve- 

 ning and if Miss Jarvis and her cham- 

 pions in the trade will get together and 

 drop the color obstruction everyone will 

 be the gainer. New York does not en- 

 thuse over Mothers' day and the 

 smaller cities absorbed most of the 

 white carnations, some, it is said, even 

 realizing $8 per hundred and anything 

 white, of merit, bringing $5 to $6. The 

 best of other colors did not sell above 

 $3 per hundred. 



Until Saturday of last week there 

 was practically no business, so Mothers * 

 day was at the foundation of a fairly 

 good week end, but a review of the 

 market in the evening found an abun- 

 vdance of nearly everything, with a vir- 

 jual flood of roses. Prices of roses in 

 'big lots last week actually dropped to 

 25 cents per hundred. It is easy to 

 imagine it was harvest time for the 

 street merchants and the department 

 stores. The best Beauties last week 

 sold at 15 cents. Hadley was down to 

 12 cents.

Of carnations there is an enormous 

 supply, especially of Enchantress. 

 Quality is excellent. Outdoor valley is 

 abundant, so that greenhouse offerings 

 are declining. Orchids are back to 35 

 cents for the best of the cattleyas and 

 the shipments are increasing. Lilies 

 were never so abundant at this time of 

 the year. Everybody is loaded with 

 them and few can be sold above $5 per 

 hundred. 



Peonies are here from the douth and 

 sell at 75 cents to $1 per dozen. Big 

 shipments of these are looked for.
