 and Mr. Pepper has laid down no ulti- 

 matum, so it seemed a chance to see 

 the wholesale district in the world's 

 greatest flower mart for the first time. 



Everybody, blessed with any imagi- 

 nation at all, forms a mental picture of 

 what he is going to see. My mental 

 picture was two-sided — a scene of ter- 

 rific bustle and activity and human 

 machines trading, not men. In both I 

 was disappointed. The market was quiet 

 that morning. It was raining and so 

 foggy that horns and bells were in con- 

 stant use on the river. It was said that 

 9:30 a. m., with the early rush over, 

 was too late, but I strongly suspect this 

 statement was due to local pride and 

 that coming over on the sleeper would 

 not have made much difference that day. 

 The men who control the destinies of 

 the New York market are by no means 

 trading machines, but a most human 

 lot of fellows, well worth cultivating.

York cut flower market is its size. This 

 impression is heightened by the way 

 business is done. A great number of 

 small places are ranged side by side 

 on both sides of the street for a block. 

 Most of their stock is laid out on the 

 counter in plain view from the street. 



so that except in the case of some fancy 

 flowers put in the iceboxes, it is hardly 

 necessary to go in and ask whether 

 this or that variety is on hand. The 

 method of trading resembles that of 

 the stock exchange. The words "ac- 

 commodate," "help you out as a
