The Market. 



Business last week was not encour- 

 aging to the wholesalers, and it was a 

 serious problem to secure anything like 

 real values. The street venders have 

 become a menace to the retail trade 

 and there is much dissatisfaction over 

 the city's failure to suppress them. Still, 

 what would the wholesale market be 

 without themf After a week of rain 

 they helped to clear at least some of 

 the surplus stock Saturday afternoon. 

 Good Saturdays are expected, even if 

 the first five days of the week are poor, 

 but last Saturday was an exception to 

 the rule. The storemen were all com- 

 plaining. This week there are many 

 weddings and school commencements. 

 The remainder of June should show an 

 improvement, especially as the rose 

 shipments are lighter and the peonies 

 are becoming less numerous. 



Special American Beauties were not 

 selling above 20 cents last week, and 

 Hadley, Euler and Brunner roses were 

 shaded below the previous week's quo- 

 tations. The other roses arriving are 

 readily absorbed, except the short- 

 stemmed roses, which, in large pur- 

 chases, have sold as low as $10 per thou- 

 sand. The best price for the best car- 

 nations June 17 was $1 per hundred. 

 There are not many of them bringing 

 even this price and many of the arriv- 

 als were disposed of at $5 per thousand. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Longiflorum lilies are selling at sum- 

 mer rates — fow above $3 per hundred. 

 Valley is the one strong underpinning 

 of the cut flower market. The select 

 sold at a high figure during the week 

 and June 17 $5 to $6 per hundred was 

 the general quotation. One company 

 claimed sales at $8, but this was ex- 

 ceptional. There is no rise in values 

 for orchids. The demand does not equal 

 the supply. The finest gigas sold at 

 $25 per hundred. 



The market is fully supplied with 

 callas, daisies, stocks, gladioli, sweet 

 Williams, coreopsis, phloxes, snowballs 

 and laurel. There is an overflow of 

 rambler rose branches. The peony is 

 king and probably will exert its influ- 

 ence on the general market until July. 

 There are thousands in cold storage. 

 Let us hope they will come out well pre- 

 served and salable. 



Various Notes. 



This week will see the close of the 

 plant auction season, which has been 



a remarkable success. The season's 

 sales of the MacNiflf Horticultural Co. 

 exceed those of any other year of the 

 company's successful career. John P. 

 Cleary has charge of the auction depart- 

 ment of C. C. Trfepel, on the roof of the 

 Bloomingdale store, at Fifty-ninth 

 street. At Elliott 's the season has been 

 satisfactory in all departments. 



F. G. Van Mater, manager and see- 

 retary of the Greater New York Flo- 

 rists' Association, Brooklyn, says he is 

 much pleased with his new position and 

 the increase in the volume of ship- 

 ments since he assumed office. 



Eobert Woodrow and family are at 

 Morristown, N. J. 



The home of John Kervan, of the 

 Kervan Co., received a visit from the 

 stork June 2. 



July 6 is the date of the Greek-Amer- 

 ican outing. The managers say that 

 arrangements have been made to ac- 

 commodate 1,000 picnickers. The prizes 

 in the athletic contests are more de- 

 sirable than those of former years.
