NEW YORK CLUB OUTING. 



The New York Florists' Club's an- 

 nual outing, July 14, was, as usual, a 

 success. An attendance of over 200 by 

 boat and many by trains and automo- 

 biles enjoyed every feature of the hol- 

 iday, the dinners, the games, the music, 

 the swimming and the dancing. The 

 weather was perfect and the return by 

 boat in the cool of the evening was a 

 happy ending to the day. 



The president and several others were 

 obliged to leave early for the Newport 

 convention. 



All the games were enjoyed with 

 much enthusiasm. The ladies' races 

 and bowling excited the greatest inter- 

 est. The prizes for bowling were won

NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The hot wave arrived about the 

 middle of last week and grew in inten- 

 sity until its close. July 17 the temper- 

 ature touched 99 degrees in the shade. 

 The condition of the market was bad 

 enough before the intense heat, but 



with its coming the daily distribution 

 became a massacre. 



Fortunately, shipments are somewhat 

 lighter, and those of roses and carna- 

 tions are growing less daily. Still, 

 there are, and will be, enough to go 

 around. Moreover, the gladiolus flood 

 is here, the asters are knocking at the 

 gates, and the dahlias are already 

 heard from. 



The best American Beauties can be 

 had at any time for $12 per hundred, 

 and any of the novelties far below 

 that quotation. Hadley and Ophelia 

 help to steady things, and the summer 

 resorts take most of the specialties. Of 

 the short-stemmed and older kinds, the 

 usual quotation is "$1 per box, and 

 take them all." 



Few carnations are worth $1 per 

 hundred. Most of them are sleepy, 

 and 25 to 50 cents is the general quota- 

 tion. There is no change yet in the 

 orchid situation. Fine flowers are still 

 selling at half their real value. Splen- 

 did Cattleya gigas sell at 15 cents each, 

 and at that many of them remain 

 unsold. Lilies are high at $2 per hun- 

 dred. Thousands sold last week at $5 

 to $10 per thousand, said one of the 

 leading wholesalers. Valley is arriving 

 in great profusion. 



Gladioli have had a wonderful season 

 for early development, and are here 

 already in unusable quantity. There 

 will be no end of asters soon. There 

 are the usual quantities of sweet peas, 

 daisies and all the seasonable flowers.
