NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



At last the New York wholesale cut 

 flower market has awakened. The cold 

 snap November 25 was the last stimu- 

 lus needed to put life into the mummy 

 of the last three months. It was a long 

 sleep and many thought there was lit- 

 tle hope for recovery. 



Thanks to society and football, No- 

 vember 25 was a day to be remembered. 

 What flowers New York could not use, 

 New Haven sent for. The leading re- 

 tailers of New York had advance orders 

 for many boxes of violets, mums and 

 roses. Practically everything worth 

 while was taken and the new week be- 

 gan with the empty larder. Shipments 

 of everything are lighter than expected. 

 Splendid values are anticipated for 

 Thanksgiving. Better prices than those 

 of November 25 will prevail; there is 

 no indication of a surplus of mums for 

 the holiday and the large varieties cer- 

 tainly will command a figure that will 

 give the growers cause for thanksgiv- 

 ing. The Chadwicks especially are in 

 demand. In pots some fine plants are 

 seen and the baby mums, pompons and 

 singles have advanced in value. 



All roses are advancing both in price 

 and quality. The supply was short at 

 the week's end and is likely to be until 

 December. Beauties have sold up to 35 

 and 40 cents each for the highest 

 grades. Hadley is running a close race 

 with the old favorite, while Ophelia, 

 Mock, Key, Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst, 

 Kadiance and Prima Donna grow daily 

 in public favor. Even the small and 

 short-stemmed roses, in quantities, were 

 held at $2 per hundred. Unless ship- 

 ments materially increase this week, 

 higher averages are assured. 



Lilies are up again, the best Novem- 

 ber 25 going above $6 per hundred; $8

Featoon Winding 

 Macliines Improved 



Fourth year on the market. Two types. Makea all 

 kinds of Festooning. Type No. 1 will wrap on any 

 size wire used for its center. One turn wlth'handle 

 gives two wraps on Festooning. Center wire is meas- 

 ured while Festooning is wound, which eliminates 

 measuring of Festooning. Tyiie No. 2: Fine wire is 

 used for the center, one turn with handle gives one 

 wrap on Festooning. Does equally as good work ai 

 Type No. 1. We furnish machines ready to work, with 

 enough wire to make 500 yards. Three days' trial al- 

 lowed. Money refunded if machine is not what yoa 

 want. Prices: 



Type No. 1, $10.00; Type No. 2, $5.00

 The Souder Mfg. Supply Co., Bridgeton, N. J. 



Gentlemen: We got one of your machines early 

 in December of last year, and made on it every kind 

 of wreathing and festooning. We found it especially 

 satisfactory in making large holly wreaths on heavy 

 wire. Your machine is all right. We are. 



Yours very truly, THK KABER CO. 



was asked for selects on the morning 

 of that day. Valley brings $6 for the 

 long-stemmed stock. 



Carnations were selling at from $2 



to $4 per hundred at the week end, and 

 good flowers will go higher for the 

 holiday. Orchids are scarce and in three 

 or four varieties, the prices ranging;
