than any other flower, they surely reflect 

 market conditions. Lilies of the valley 

 are plentiful, and it is hard to keep the 

 price range up. 



Stevia is in good supply and moves 

 well. Violets sell slowly. Some fine 

 mignonette is arriving and meets small 

 sales. Acacia, iris, bouvardia, snap- 

 dragons, pansies, daisies, cornflowers, 

 gladioli, myosotis, calendulas and free- 

 sias are in small supply, but clean up 

 fairly well. 



Asparagus from the south is arriving 

 in large quantities, but the market for it 

 is small, and a good deal of stock goes 

 into cold storage. Such as is disposed 

 of brings $1 to $2 per bunch, according 

 to grade. Shrub and fruit sprays, such 

 as forsythia and peach, are coming in 

 ])lentifully and meet a small demand for 

 decorative purposes. 



Various Notes. 



A considerable number of the trade 

 will attend the exhibition of the Amer- 

 ican Carnation Society and the Ameri- 

 can Eose Society at Hartford, January 

 25 to 27. The transportation committee 

 of the New York Florists' Club has ar- 

 ranged for special day coaches, leaving 

 the Grand Central station at 7:43 and 

 9:15 on the morning of January 25. The 

 7:43 train reaches Hartford at 11:04. 

 The 9:15 is due at 12:11. The fare is 

 $3.93 one way. Send reservations 

 quickly to Paul Rigo, care of the Hen- 

 shaw Floral Co., 43 West Eighteenth 

 street. 



Jack Fenrich, son of Joseph S. Fen- 

 rich, went bob-sledding Saturday, Janu- 

 ary 14, and came to grief in a collision, 

 sustaining a break and compound frac- 

 ture in one of his arms. 



Secretary Young has sent to press the 

 final schedule of the ninth international 

 flower show, to be held at the Grand 

 Central Palace in March. The schedule 

 committee was in session all Friday 

 afternoon, January 13, putting the fin- 

 ishing touches on the manuscript.

COAL OUTPUT BACK TEN YEABS. 



The smallest production of bitumi- 

 nous coal in ten years and the lowest 

 output of coke in seventeen years were 

 recorded during 1921, according to the 

 final report of the United States Geo- 

 logical Survey. Only 406,990,000 tons 

 of soft coal were mined, while the coke 

 production was just 26,000,000 tons. 



"The year 1921 was one of prostra- 

 tion for the coal and coke industries," 

 the survey's report declared. "The 

 figures of tonnage sound like those of 

 an earlier day. To match the complete- 

 ness of the depression of 1921 one must 

 go back to 1893. 



"The annual production of bitumi- 

 nous in net tons was: 1917, 551,790,- 

 000; 1918, 579,386,000; 1919, 465,860,- 

 000; 1920, 556,516,000; 1921, 400,990,- 

 000. 



"The year 1921 came to a close with 

 many anthracite collieries shut down 

 and thousands of miners idle. The 

 slackening of demand evident in late 

 November had grown steadily more 

 noticeable as December advanced. In 

 Christmas week the output dropped to 

 approximately 862,000 net tons, or 

 barely half of that in Christmas week 

 the year before.
