A lecture on ' ' Rose Gardens ' ' will be 

 delivered March 17 at 8:15 p. m. at the 

 American Museum of Natural History 

 at a meeting of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of New York to be held on that 

 date. The lecture is by Edmund M. 

 Mills, president of the Syracuse Rose 

 Society, an enthusiastic amateur grower 

 of roses for over forty years. 



Incorporation papers " were recently 

 taken out by the William H. Lutton Co.

 of $50,000, for the manufacture of

The Market. 



The drop in prices came to this center 

 a little later than to some of the other 

 markets. The advent of Lent, the 

 abating of the flu epidemic and the holi- 

 days of February 22 and 23 all helped 

 to create an oversupply and cause stock 

 to take a tumble in all lines. 



Roses show the least decline, owing 

 to a scarcity of growers in this district. 

 The better grades are about $35 per 

 hundred, while short roses are noted 

 at $12 per hundred. Carnations have 

 dropped to about $8 per hundred for 

 good stock, some still bringing $10 per 

 hundred. Inferior stock is much cheap- 

 er. Lily of the valley has fallen off 

 one-half, now being quoted at $6 per 

 hundred. 



Sweet peas are about the same, but 

 another week will see the price still 

 lower. Purity freesia, as well as tulips 

 and single daffodils, are down to $6 per 

 hundred and move well at this figure. 

 Double daffodils are making their ap- 

 pearance, but are not arriving in large 

 quantities.
