Valley was a scarce article August 

 21, and rose to $3 and $4 per hundred. 

 Before closing time there was not a 

 spray left. The every-day-in-the-year 

 growers will not let the shortage be 

 noticeable long. Lilies are stronger 

 and not too abundant. The best stock 

 was selling at $4 per hundred at the 

 week 's end. From that the price ranged 

 down to $2 per hundred, for the com- 

 monplace. 



Orchids are scarce, and the good 

 prices of the last few weeks continue. 

 Few flowers, however, go above $50 

 per hundred, and these must be extra 

 fine. Dahlias, tritomas and the early 

 mums are the only novelties in the 

 windows, with decorative backgrounds 

 of goldenrod and hydrangeas. 



There were tremendous arrivals of 

 asters and gladioli all last week. Au- 

 gust 21, counters, iceboxes and cellars 

 were simply loaded with them. 



Various Notes. 



If the S. A. F. had decided to come 

 to New York in 1916, the local com- 

 mittees would have had the assistance 

 of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' 

 Association. The use of the Grand Cen- 

 tral Palace for six days was assured, 

 and the sale of 10,000 feet of space for 

 trade exhibits. Doubtless the same 

 conditions will prevail in 1917 if the 

 'texans will be so kind as to send the 

 convention to us then. The last 

 S. A. F. meeting in New York was in 

 1900. 



There will be a gladiolus exhibition 

 this week from August 26 until Au- 

 gust 29, inclusive, at Atlantic City, 

 N. J., under the management of 

 Maurice Fuld, of the Knight & Struck 

 Co. There will be lectures by Max 

 Schling, Arthur Cowee and Mr. Fuld. 

 Mr. Schling is putting up an exhibit 

 that he says will cost him over $1,000. 



The outing of the Mt. Kisco Horti- 

 cultural Society has been postponed. 



Cosmos, the first of the season, were 

 on exhibition last week at J. K. 

 Allen 's. 



James Coyle's new headquarters 

 are at 102 West Twenty-eighth street. 



Nicholas iLecakes is already nicely 

 settled in his new store, at 106 West 

 Twenty-eighth street. Many additions
