of late, last week dropped to half the 

 previous week's quotations. July 1 

 only the best selected valley brought 

 aa high as $3 per hundred. The cessa- 

 tion of June weddings was given as 

 the reason for the drop of pHces. 

 Lilies remain at $4 per hundred for the 

 best, and from that on down to $2. 



Carnations quickly showed the effect 

 of the heat. Choice stock sold at $2 

 per hundred, many making only $1 per 

 hundred. Anything inferior sold at 50 

 cents per hundred. This placed them 

 on a par with the low-priced roses. The 

 orchid market is steady and no over- 

 supply is noted. Prices continue at 

 about the figures of the last two weeks, 

 a few choice gigas bringing from 40 

 cents to 50 cents. The best of the 

 sweet peas continue to bring satisfac- 

 tory prices, but only the best are con- 

 sidered by the buyer. Much of the 

 inferior stock reaches the barrel, ac- 

 companied by rambler roses. 



The street men were selling the last 

 of the peonies at 1 cent each July 1. 

 The cold storage stock now has all been 

 sold, and shipments from growers are 

 about at an end. The market is 

 crowded with all kinds of outdoor stock, 

 much of which does not sell at all. 

 There seems to be but a faint call for 

 rambler branches, and practically no 

 sale of coreopsis, daisies, sweet Wil- 

 liams and forget-me-nots. Other offer- 

 ings include candytuft, feverfew, Can- 

 terbury bells, phloxes, gaillardias, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The sweet pea convention and exhi- 

 bition at Bar Harbor, Me., July 15 and 

 16, will have a good New York attend- 

 ance, the trip from New York to Bos- 

 ton by boat having been decided upon. 

 The members of the National Associa- 

 tion of Gardeners in this vicinity, under 

 the guidance of Secretary Ebel, will 

 constitute the majority of the visitors. 



H. M. Robinson, of Boston, was a 

 visitor to New York July 1. He re- 

 ports the best season of his long expe- 

 rience. 



The losses to the retail florists as a 

 result of the European war have been 

 large. A prominent florist on Madison 

 avenue tells me it has made a differ- 

 ence in receipts from boat deliveries of 

 $10,000 to $15,000 yearly. 



Lester Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J., 

 recently was in the city. He says he 



Any flowers or plants give a lot of pleasure if they're nice and fresh; and the way 

 to keep them fresh is to pack them in 



Sefton Flower Boxes

 roots, bulbs or flowers packed in wet moss or ice. It's the perfect box for that 

 purpose.

 a two weeks' rest in the mountains, 

 returned to the city July 4. 



Galvin's window on Fifth avenue

 show centers of the famous avenue. 

 Mr. Galvin was a recent visitor from 

 Boston and seemed greatly pleased with 

 the New York management. 



W. G. Badgley is cutting fine Ophelia 

 roses from his May planting. Mr. 

 Badgley, as mayor of Chatham, N. J., 

 will preside at the town's patriotic 

 celebration of Independence day. 



C. A. Dards will return shortly from 

 his three months' trip to Japan, China 

 and Hawaii. 



Thomas Martin, with Traendly & 

 Schenck, was in the city last week at- 

 tending the funeral of his brother. Mr. 

 Martin is spending the summer at Otis- 

 ville, N. Y. 



The firm of Hentz & Nash has been 

 incorporated with a capital of $25,000, 



H. Hentz, Jr., of Madison, N. J., and 

 L. A. and A. S. Nash, of New York, 

 being the incorporators. 



Patrick O'Mara is back from a trip 

 to the south, including New Orleans, 

 La. 



Robert Burnett, son of George Bur- 

 nett, is a member of a New Jersey regi- 

 ment which has been called to duty in 

 Texas. 



President M. A. Bowe, of the joint re- 

 tail associations, says that the weekly 

 meetings of the organization of late 

 have been unusually practical and that 

 the outlook for a larger membership 

 and central headquarters is bright.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The continuance of graduations, with 

 a number of weddings, has given the 

 florists a busy week, but this will about 

 conclude the special occasions for flow-
