from seed. These arc splendid flowers 

 for florists and, as they are perfectly 

 hardy even in the north, it is somewhat 

 surprising that they are not grown 

 more. One thing that they resent is 

 root disturbance. Give them a good 

 soil, plenty of water and a fence or 

 trellis to ramble over and they will 

 grow rampantly and bloom profusely. 



NEW YORK. 



The Maxket. 



Last week was the dullest experienced 

 in the New York flower market in a 

 long time. The supply of stock was 

 particularly light and the demand of 

 the poorest. Had the arrivals been nor- 

 mal, the result would have been sadly 

 disadvantageous to growers. Gladiolus 

 is the chief item, and there is plenty ot 

 it. The quality is fair, although some 

 arrivals show the effects of heavy rain 

 storms. 



Asters are now a close second; tuo 

 later varieties are of fair quality, hav- 

 ing escaped blight and much of the 

 drought. Dahlias are coming in more 

 heavily, but growers might better keep 

 them at home, as they do not sell for 

 sufficient to pay the express charges and 

 do not seem likely to until asters wane. 



Eoses are abundant and, as the de- 

 mand for them has not improved, prices 

 have declined. 



Cattleyas are scarce, and are likely to 

 be until the variety labiata comes in 

 next month. A few oncidiums are com- 

 ing in and clear because they are so few. 



"White lilies are plentiful enough for 

 the small demand, and the quality is 

 good. Lilies of the valley continue on 

 the short side, but strong effort is re- 

 quired to clear such as come in at prices 

 which show a slight advance. 



The list of perennials is augmented 

 by strelitzia, which is bought for show 

 window purposes at prices varying ac- 

 cording to quality. Zinnias are rather 

 too plentiful, as also are delphiniums, 

 and bargaining in these two lines is easy 

 for purchasers. Calendulas, French mari- 

 golds, cornflowers and hydrangeas are 

 principal among other offerings and 

 meet moderate demand. 



Various Notes. 



Philip F. Kessler, in the Coogan build- 

 ing, has been spending a week in the 

 Adirondacks. 



Theodore Outerbridge, of Sunnylands, 

 Bermuda, was in town last week. The 

 advance shipments of his Easter lily 

 bulbs are arriving and he claims that 

 the quality is the best he has shipped 

 for a long period, the growth this season 

 having been remarkable. 



The New York Florists' Club party 

 to the S. A. F. convention numbered 

 thirty-four. It left the Pennsylvania 

 terminal at 11:08 a. m. Monday. Wash- 

 ington was reached without incident. 

 The cool temperature at leaving was 

 considered propitious for cool weather 

 at Washington. 



Among thtose who motored down were 

 C. H. Totty, W. H. Duekham and Ar- 

 thur Herrington, of Madison, N, J.; 

 Wallace R. Pierson, A. M. Henshaw, A.
