NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Indian summer arrived a week a^jo. 

 The weather has been perfect, and on 

 Sattirdav ;i (dieeiftil .itinosiiltere per- 

 vaded the wholestile cut flower mtirket. 

 Only a frost and (dear, i-ool weather 

 are needed to set the wlietds of jiros- 

 perity in motion. The wetd; end was 

 reminiscent of old times, in ;i ^ener.al 

 uplift. Prices wt le steadier, and, for 

 rosi's and c irnations. .somewhat hij;her. 

 especially for stdneteii stoek. From now 

 on a stejidy impro\emeiit ma}- lie antici- 

 pated. 



The (piality of American P.eauties is 

 better, and the increased demand a 

 fai'tor. These have been the fulcrtiin 

 whcrtdiy the whole rose mark(>t has bi'- 

 jjun its ftill .advance, a proj^rt'ss that 

 will be slow but sure. Splendid Shaw- 

 yer, Milady, Husstdl, Sunburst. Killar- 

 ncy, llillingdon, Hulgarie and >raryland 

 are available every day. The short- 

 stemmed vari<'ties are still abundant 

 and stdl at low prices. Of carnations. 

 Matchless, Mrs. Ward. Enchantress and 

 Beacon have now lon<;er stems and 

 larger flowers, and prices ha\e ad\attced 

 to $2 for the sele(d. 



Orchids ;ire extremely abundant. 

 There are plenty of onciditims and 

 labiatas, and more to follow. They make 

 the retail windows (jtiiti- attractive, but 

 prices ar<> down to ;'5 cents for tlu^ best
