The Market 



While trade was nothing extra last 

 week, still when one takes into considera- 

 tion the hot weather, it was not so bad. 

 A. Sunderbruch Sons reported a very 

 goad business all week, but some of the 

 stores were not so fortunate. At present 

 there is a first-class demand and all of 

 the wholesale houses are sold out early 

 in the day. The supply of stock, with 

 the exception of the very best quality, 

 is equal to the demand and there are 

 but few orders that cannot be filled. Car- 

 nations are arriving in much larger quan- 

 tities and some very good ones are to 

 be had. Still there are not enough. The 

 supply of Beauties is rather small, with 

 the quality none too good. Brides, Maids, 

 Gates, Ivory, Cusin, Kaiserin, Chatenay, 

 MacArthur, Liberty and Meteors are all 

 to be had in quantity, medium and short- 

 stemmed being especially abundant. 



Asters are few, but dahUas and gladi- 

 oli are still to be had. Cosmos, too, is 

 in and sells very weU. Longiflorum lilies 

 and valley sell well. The storemen seem 

 to be afraid to tackle violets; a good 

 cold snap is needed to make them bring 

 a paying price. Mums are coming in 

 larger numbers and sell wMl. Most of 

 them are Bergmann, but some Glory of 

 Pacific and Estelte are to be had and are 

 good. 



Various Notes. 



Saturday night is the regular meeting 

 of the Florists' Society and President 

 Ben George requests all members to be 

 present. 



B. A. Murphy, of Delhi, has just com- 

 pleted a violet house. His stock is in 

 very good shape, especially when you 

 consider that he has been short of water 

 nearly all summer and has been obliged 

 on many occasions to haul it from the 

 Ohio river, about a mile from his place.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Tarry- 

 town Horticultural Society was held Sep- 

 tember 27, President Ballantyne presid- 

 ing. I. G. Eaw and E. Lumbey, of Irv- 

 ington, and Hamilton Scott, of Yonkers, 

 were elected active members. I. H. King, 

 IrvingtoD, was nominated for member- 

 ship. 



David MacFarlane was awarded Sec- 

 retary Neubrand's prize for display of 

 dahlias and Mr. Featherstone, gardener 

 for Samuel Untermeyer, Yonkers, N. Y., 

 was awarded Wm. Scott's prize for dis- 

 play of flowers and fruits cut from hardy 

 shrubs. On account of the November 

 show coming so soon after the October 

 meeting, it was decided not to offer 

 any prizes for exhibits at the next meet- 

 ing. 



David MacFarlane favored the mem- 

 bers with a very instructive lecture on 

 dahlias, which was very freely discussed 

 by Jas. Scott, L. Martin, Jos. Mooney, 

 J. Bradley and others. 



L. Martin, gardener for C. H. Mathei- 

 son, Irvington, N. Y., read a very in- 

 teresting essay on late flowering shrubs.
