NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The condition of business in the New 

 York cut flower market continues to be 

 of the usual summer variety. Arrivals 

 are not particularly heavy, and most of 

 them are of herbaceous flowers. Asters 

 are arriving in liberal quantities, but 

 the quality is poor, owing to a dry sea- 

 son; when classed as really good they 

 are taken in limited quantities at $3 

 per hundred, but many offerings do not 

 realize more than 50 cents per hundred 

 and many others should never have been 

 sent to market. Gladioli would seem to 

 be in full crop and sales are made at any 

 price between 35 and 75 cents per 

 dozen. Early cosmos is also arriving, 

 but in small quantity, so that it is not 

 yet a factor in the market. 



Boses are fairly abundant, but the 

 general quality is poor, the hot spell 

 which has dominated this section contin- 

 uing and causing a flood of open stock. 

 American Beauty is not plentiful, a 

 fact which growers may rejoice over, 

 and sales conditions are practically 

 unchanged. In hybrid teas most blooms 

 arriving are No. 2, and unless the stock 

 is fairly tight, clearances are difficult. 

 Ophelia seems to show the effect of 

 weather conditions least of all varie- 

 ties, except Premier, of course, whose 

 main characteristic is its tendency to 

 a tight bud. 



Carnations are nearly finished. Ar- 

 rivals bulk up somewhat even yet, but 

 good quality is entirely absent and $2 

 per hundred is the price for the best 

 stock. 



White lilies are quite plentiful, out- 

 door-grown multiflorums having added 

 considerably to the regular supply, and 

 regale being taken freely when its 

 color tinge is not objected to. Lily of 

 the valley is on the scarce side. Bou- 

 vardia Humboldtii is in moderate sup- 

 ply and moves well at 50 to 75 cents 

 per bunch. 



Sweet peas are "oh their last legs," 

 and the quality of arrivals fails to ap- 

 peal to purchasers.

The Value of Good Connections 



The privilege of working pleas- 

 antly and intelligently with a 

 wholesale house capable of meet- 

 ing your requirements is an item 

 which cannot be figured in actual 

 money. It is significant that 

 Kennicott customers and Kenni- 

 cott shippers come to regard their 

 connection with us as the most 

 valued of their intangible assets. 



We are always eager to place at 

 your disposal the resources and 

 experience acquired throughout 

 our forty years of service to 

 growers and retailers both large 

 and small.
