The Market. 



There is little to add to the report 

 of a week ago, and little change in con- 

 ditions, prices or outlook. 



There are signs of a reduction in re- 

 ceipts of roses and carnations and a 

 slight stiffening in values. Except 

 Beauties and the novelties, the rose 

 supply is largely unsalable, except at 

 the buyer's option. The street mer- 

 chants are at Coney and Eockaway and 

 that outlet for surplus is practically 

 closed until the fall. The roses sold in 

 quantity average $1 a box. 



Carnations are largely reflecting the 

 season and few arrivals are up to the 

 standard. A few choice blooms bring 

 $1 per hundred, but the average is un- 

 der 50 cents. The shipments of orchids 

 are decreasing; hence the better quo- 

 tations. The demand continues light. 

 No change has taken place in lily val- 

 ues, as, with a great abundance of them, 

 the top figure is $2.50 per hundred, the 

 same as for valley. The gladiolus flood 

 is already enormous, but it rises dailj'. 

 It is utterly impossible for the market 

 to absorb such large receipts at the 

 prices of other years. The same may 

 be said of asters, already here in great 

 abundance. 



There is the usual supply of summer 

 flowers. 



Apart from funeral work, there is 

 nothing to disturb the quiet of the re- 

 tail trade. Even the window decora- 

 tors seem to have lost heart. 



Various Notes. 



Secretary Irwin, of the transportation 

 committee, announces a lamentable 

 number of "cold feet" in the matter 

 of the special car for the trip to Cali- 

 fornia. However, several members of 

 the S. A. F. will join the gardeners' 

 special and a few will travel inde- 

 pendently, so that after all New York 

 will be fairly well represented. 



W. E. Marshall is making his usual 

 western summer trip. A. E. Wheeler, 

 of Marshall & Co., is at Netcong, N. J., 

 with Lis family. 



E. J. Irwin says 200,000 cyclamen 

 seeds from Germany arrived July 20. 



Harry Schenck, head decorator for 

 Malandre Bros., with Mrs. Schenck, is 

 spending his vacation in the mountains 

 at Haynes' Falls. He leaves for his 

 summer window decoration a most 

 elaborate Japanese garden. 



Robert MacNiff leaves this week for 

 a visit to Bermuda. The MacNiflf Hor-
