 fects in blue and white are noteworthy.

NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The "good old summertime" was 

 much in evidence last week in the 

 New York wholesale cut flower market. 

 In fact, until Saturday there was no 

 market, and accumulations were dis- 

 posed of at about any figure the pur- 

 chaser felt inclined to offer. Lessening 

 of shipments of roses and carnations 

 was noticeable as the week ended, and 

 the present week gives evidence already 

 of the usual July shortening of sup- 

 plies. There is little life in the retail 

 department of the business, an oc- 

 casional wedding and the usual funeral 

 requirements being the only departures 

 from summer stagfnation. 



In roses, special American Beauties 

 sold last week as low as $5 per hun- 

 dred. I'here has been no> shortage in 

 any variety of the rose family. At 

 times there was no way of ridding the 

 market of its accumulations other than 

 disposing of the boxes of roses as they 

 arrived, as low as $1 per box being ac- 

 cepted. A few of the selects of the 

 newer varieties, of course, preserved 

 the dignity of the market. Russell, 

 Hadley, Mock, Ophelia and the best of 

 the Killarneys are always able to find 

 an outlet. 



Few carnations sold last week at 

 over 50 cents per hundred. Even the 

 selects were largely disposed of at that 

 figure. For the ordinary stock 25 cents 

 was the limit in quantity. 



There seems to be no end to the de- 

 pression in the orchid market. It is 

 hard to raise values after the expe- 

 rience of the month of June. The best 

 of them last week seldom sold above 15 

 cents. The shipments do not decrease. 



Lilies are still abundant, and large

shipments continue. Few sell above $2 

 per hundred. Valley also is in surplus, 

 and prices are unsteady, with but slight 

 demand. The coming flood is gladioli; 

 already there are signs of it. Cold 

 storkge peonies seem to be closing their 

 career. Sweet peas are largely of 

 mediocre quality. Asters are arriving 

 in larger daily shipments. The other 

 seasonable flowers are on exhibition as 

 usual — daisies, sweet williams, fever- 

 few, coreopsis, delphiniums, etc. — and 

 that is as far as they seem to go. Their 

 mission seems to be to make attrac- 

 tive wholesale windows. »
