 what the florists of this country want. We use our own brains and the brains 

 of others to originate and test out new ideas. We offer what is good and discard 

 the bad — is not this worth something to you?

NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



Midsummer stagnation covers market 

 conditions in the New York wholesale 

 and retail sections, and this is accen- 

 tuated by hot and rainy weather and 

 the general business depression in all 

 lines of trade. The wholesalers are ac- 

 cepting the inevitable during July and 

 August philosophically. It is simply a 

 repetition of the records of other years, 

 only more so. Shipments of all kinds 

 of cut flowers are decreasing, but prices 

 are abnormally low and the demand is 

 stagnant. 



There are few special American 

 Beauties arriving, or, in fact, few spe- 

 cials of any rose. Sunburst is abund- 

 ant. Most of the teas are small, and 

 few are usable. Apart from funeral 

 and steamer business, there is practi- 

 cally no demand. 



Few carnations sell above $1 per hun- 

 dred. Mrs. Ward is still the favorite. 

 Most of the arrivals sell at 50 cents 

 per hundred and down. The beginning 

 of the aster flood is in sight, and it will 

 be limitless. Valley is down to summer 

 levels. Lilies are of superb quality, 

 but only the selects touch $4 per hun- 

 dred, and many hundreds sell at $3 and 

 even $2. 



There is the usual mass of outdoor- 

 grown stock, plenty of candidum lilies, 

 gladioli and sweet peas, and still some 

 rambler roses. Orchids do not advance 

 and shipments continue sufficient for 

 all requirements. America gladioli that 

 should command $1.50 per dozen were 

 offered Saturday under $3 per hundred. 



Greek-American Outing. 



The eighth annual outing of the 

 Greek-American Florists' Association 

 was held July 8, at Witzel's Grove, 

 College Point, L. I., and was the largest 

 and best in the society's record. Over 

 500 attended, including nearly every 

 prominent wholesale florist in the city. 

 Messrs. Smith, Coyle, Millang and 

 Schultheis and otber Long Islanders 

 who live near College Point came in 

 their automobiles and added to the at- 

 tendance. The resort lived up to its 

 excellent reputation and provided liber- 

 allv for all. The musical entertain-
