NEW YOIIK. 



The Market. 



With an increased supply in many 

 lines, prices have declined to an ap- 

 preciable extent. Nowadays the New 

 York market does not become so much 

 affected by the Lenten season and con- 

 sequently there is little slackening in 

 the general demand. In two or three 

 lines there are heavy crops at present 

 available, which have considerable in- 

 fluence on the market. Sweet peas, for 

 instance, are in exceptionally heavy sup- 

 ply and values are forced down to a 

 point practically below the normal; the 

 best flowers command no more than $2 

 per hundred sprays and the lower 

 grades move slowly at prices in propor- 

 tion. Stocks and similar commodities 

 are now in, signs that much glass area 

 has been put into use since the fuel 

 restriction was lifted. Tulips and nar- 

 cissi, believed to have been short- 

 planted, are now coming in quantity 

 sufficient to cause a downward move- 

 ment in prices on anything but excep- 

 tional stock, and in their clearance 

 naturally affect the stability of more 

 staple flowers. 



Eoses are in heavier supply, but move 

 well. American Beauty is more plenti- 

 ful and top grades are cheaper in con- 

 sequence, but arrivals clean up well. 

 Hybrid teas, too, are coming in quan- 

 tity, but with lower prices prevailing 

 their movement is active. The supply 

 of short-stemmed stock is noticeably 

 better, a condition which strengthens 

 the situation as far as roses are con- 

 cerned. 



Cattleyas are in good supply and 

 move at prices within a range of 15 

 cents to 50 cents each, small flowers 

 occasionally changing hands at 10 cents. 

 Gardenias are in short supply, at $4 to 

 $9 per dozen. Wallflowers, pansies, 

 snapdragons, myosotis, mignonette, 

 primulas and lilac are plentiful and 

 meet a fair demand at prices somewhat 

 less than have prevailed of late. Quite 

 a lot of acacia sprays are arriving, mov- 

 ing well at $1 to $2 per bunch. The 

 supply of white lilies is shortening, but 

 there is little change in prices, the best 

 flowers bringing 25 cents each. 



Club Meeting. 



A regular meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club was held at the rooms 

 in the Grand Opera House building 

 March 10, with an attendance of about 

 175. After the reading of the minutes 

 of the last meeting, the dinner commit- 

 tee, through Chairman Schenck, an- 

 nounced that over 200 tickets had been 

 taken up and that the success of the 

 affair was fully assured. 



J. H. Pepper presented a resolution of 

 sympathy on the death of Wm. J. Stew- 

 art, which was duly passed and a copy 

 ordered to be sent to the family of the 

 deceased. A similar resolution of sym- 

 pathy with the family of the late Mrs. 

 Elizabeth Fenrich, mother of Joseph S. 

 Fenrich, was read, having been ordered 

 at the last meeting.

C. H. Totty, for the committee ap- 

 pointed to consider what is now com- 

 monly described as "the Milwaukee 

 plan" for raising funds for publicity 

 purposes, reported that the committee 

 had had a meeting, and the plan had 



been discussed from all angles. It was 

 believed that a similar plan, with modi- 

 fications, could be put into practice in 

 New York and would furnish an equita- 

 ble means, far-reaching in its operation, 

 of creating a fund to be regularly drawn
