THE BEST 



WIRE BASKET 



AHD WHY 



Made of Galvanized Wire and 

 crimped. Closer meshed to hold 

 moss better, and less of it. It's 

 sturdy and strong. The price is 

 right. You can't beat it.

Emile H. Geschick has his Easter 

 crops in fine condition. 



Alfred M. Campbell has a splendid 

 lot of lilies at Strafford. 



The Philadelphia "Wholesale Florists' 

 Exchange is pleased with its rose grow- 



ers' success at the show.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



After one of the dullest weeks on 

 record, a "good Saturday" was more 

 than welcome. Prices grow firmer as 

 Easter draws near and a splendid cut 

 flower trade is anticipated. 



It will not be a plant Easter, for there 

 are not enough blooming plants for the 

 demand. In fact, the invariable re- 

 sponse of a grower when I interviewed 

 him has been, "Nothing left to sell." 



American Beauties came down last 

 week after a steady 75-cent top for 

 many weeks. The best could be had at 

 50 cents. Hadley gained enormously in 

 prestige last week at both the New York 

 and Philadelphia flower shows. The 

 demand for it grows, and it is running 

 neck and neck with Beauty. All other 

 varieties of roses are in good supply. 



For low grade carnations $10 per 

 thousand was the price. Most of them, 

 however, were sold at better figures. 



Longiflorum lilies were abundant and 

 from $8 down was the quotation. For 

 Easter the best are being booked at 

 $12, with $10 as the popular figure 

 Avith the majority. 



Valley advanced last week to $5 per 

 hundred. 



Callaa are now abundant, freesia lim- 

 ited, and plenty of daffodils and narcissi 

 for any possible demand. 



There are no signs of lighter tulip, 

 sweet pea or violet shipments. The lat- 

 ter are looked for in big numbers for 

 Easter needs. The violet specialists 

 talk of them in hundred thousands. One 

 wholesaler sold half a million in a day 

 last week. There are plenty of spring 

 flowers as spring approaches — daisies, 

 jmnsies, stocks, snapdragon, wallflowers, 

 mignonette, calendulas and forget-me- 

 not. 



In orchids there will be a fine va- 

 riety, such as Phalaenopsis Schilleriana 

 and P. amabilis. Southern gladioli are 

 not popular and are far too abundant. 



Various Notes. 



The International Flower Show is but 

 a memory. It will be some time before 

 tlic committee makes its final report, 

 but it may safely be asserted that the 

 exhibition was a financial and artistic 

 success. 



xVnother sign of spring is the opening 

 of the horticultural auction sales, March 

 27, by the MacNiff Horticultural Co., 56 

 Vesey street. C. C. Trepel is holding a 

 daily auction of plants in his Blooming- 

 dale conservatories on Fifty-ninth 

 street, with John P. Cleary as auction- 

 eer. 



It is certain that a prominent Broad- 

 wav florist will locate in tlie new hotel 

 now being built at Forty-seventh and 

 Forty-eighth streets and Madison ave- 

 nue, October 10. Within a stone's throw 

 are the stores of McConnell, Kottmiller, 

 liunyard, Armstrong, Ramm and Dards, 

 making this a great floral center in the 

 big city. 



The trade will learn with regret of 

 the dangerous illness of Warren Spauld- 

 ing, manager of tiie wholesale store of 

 the Beechwood Heights Nurseries.
