The monthly meeting of the New Jer- 

 sey rioricultural Society, held on Decem-

 ident, I). Kindsgrab, gardener for Wil- 

 liam Runkle; vice-president, Arthur L. 

 Caparn, gardener for Stuart Hartshorne; 

 secretary, William Bennett, gardener for 

 A. C. Van Gaasbeck; treasurer. Malcolm 

 Mac Rorie, gardener for Mandeville Es- 

 tate.

The Market 



The retailers and markets report busi- 

 ness as holding its own since Thanksgiv- 

 ing, but nothing out of the ordinary has 

 developed. While mums are still slightly 

 in evidence there are not enough of them 

 to cut any figure, and carnations are 

 more in demand and prices on them are 

 looking up a little. Lilies have dropped 

 out of sight with the mums. Since mums 

 have shortened up there is a better de- 

 mand for other stock, although the sup- 

 ply of roses is so great that while the 

 specials and extras bring a fair price, 

 the commoner grades go begging. The 

 same might be said of all other stock; 

 there is enough good to supply the de- 

 mand and send the seconds to the dump. 



A trip among the wholesalers finds 

 them looking quite cheerful. The Flor- 

 ists' Exchange and J. B. Murdoch & Co., 

 both assure me that business is very 

 good. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 

 was busy getting out orders of red bells 

 and evergreen boxwood, which they say 

 is greatly in demand. They report trade 

 as up to the average for this time of 

 year. 



Various Notes. 



The unumally dry season is making 

 great trouble for some of our growers, 

 as their water supply has gone back on 

 them and they are compelled to haul 

 water some distance to keep their places 

 running. 



MossbauF & Dick opened their new store 

 last Saturday, and, as they gave carna- 

 tions to all visitors, they were the busi- 

 est house in town Saturday evening.
