quality of arrivals is all that could be 

 desired and the commission men are 

 lending their best efforts toward effect- 

 ing equitable dietribution. 



Carnations have advanced in price, 

 due to a great amount of funeral work, 

 which has been in evidence for some 

 days. January 19 and 21 the call for 

 white varieties was particularly heavy, 

 out of all proportion to the supply. 



Orchids are in plenty and appear to 

 clean up fairly well, though they drag 

 at times. The price range is from 20 

 cents to 50 cents, the latter figure cov- 

 ering only the best. 



Gardenias are plentiful, but move well. 

 Culls and inferior blooms may be had at 

 as low as $2 per dozen, but long-stemmed 

 stock, with perfect flower heads, brings 

 as high as $9. 



There is a limited supply of bulbous 

 flowers. A few freesias, narcissi and 

 tulips are arriving, and move quickly, 

 but there is no sign of an influx such as 

 was wont to occur in former years. This 

 condition, of course, tends to hold up 

 the values of other flowers. 



Sweet peas are coming in greater 

 quantity, although there is little change 

 in the quality, short-stemmed stock be- 

 ing the rule rather than the exception. 

 They continue at $4 for the best, with 

 a few specials bringing $.j per hundred. 



There is an adequate supply of wall- 

 flowers, calendulas, bouvardia, stevia 

 and the like, all moving well at remuner- 

 ative prices. 



Various Notes. 



President Kessler, of the New York 

 Florists' Club, has appointed the fol- 

 lowing as a committee on transportation 

 to the convention and exhibition of the 

 American Carnation Society, to be held 

 at the Hollenden hotel, Cleveland, O., 

 January 29 and 30: A. L. Miller, chair- 

 man, Sulphur road and Rockaway boule- 

 vard, Jamaica, L. I., N. Y.; J. G. Esler, 

 Saddle River, X. J., and Joseph A. 

 Manda, West Orange, X. J. While con- 

 cessions in the rates for travel are not 

 looked for, it is expected that a number 

 will go from New York and vicinity 

 and all wishing to join the party should 

 communicate at once with Mr. Miller.

window last week some fine Malmaison 

 carnations. Attached to the vase con- 

 taining them was a label describing 

 them and conveying the information 

 that they are decidedly larger than 

 American carnations, a statement many 



who were noticed inspecting them were 

 inclined to doubt, as the flower heads did 

 not seem to be larger than four inches 

 across, and many of the American 

 varieties average three to three and one- 

 half inches across. They were priced
