where, but Monday night it was cloudy 

 and there was no snap left in things. 



Peonies are coining in great quanti- 

 ties. Before the week is over there will 

 be a flood. Fine stock will bring good 

 prices, but there is a lot that will be un- 

 salable at any price and much of the 

 southern shipments were disposed of only 

 because of scant supply. A good deal 

 of stock was shipped to other cities for 

 Decoration day. 



Roses especially felt the strain on 

 Monday and fell in value rapidly. Many 

 were closed out as low as $5 a thousand. 

 Beauties were of poor quality, most of 

 them, and $15 per hundred was top. Car- 

 nations maintain their quality, but prices 

 arc cut in two. 



Cattleya gigas is grand in size and 

 brings better prices than a week ago. 

 Y^e plant exhibited at Orange last Fri- 

 day evening carried thirty-eight perfect 

 flowers. Lager & Hurrell shipped it to 

 their selling agent, Jas. McManus, Satur- 

 •n' 1^° ^* "^^^ immediately sold. It 

 will doubtless sell at retail close to $100 

 urciuds are growing more and more 

 popular for wedding bouquets.

Next week, Wednesday and Thursday, 



the Horticultural Society, of New York, 

 holds its summer show at the Museum 

 building, in Bronx park. It is to be 

 hoped a better attendance than that of 

 a month ago may afford encouragement 

 to the managers. 



Next Monday evening, June 11, the 

 final meeting of the New York Florists' 

 Club for the summer will be held at its 

 rooms in the Grand opera house. This 

 will be ladies' night and peony night 

 and elaborate preparation is being made. 

 The entertainment committee has sev- 

 eral surprises and Prof. Nugent will re- 

 veal some practical demonstrations of his 

 culinary skill. The exhibit of cut flowers 

 will be very interesting, several of the 

 large growers of peonies having prom- 

 ised to ship in variety. The attendance 

 should be large. President Kasting is 

 expected and will have a royal welcome. 



Brooklyn wholesalers all seem to be 

 doing an excellent business. Mr. Craw- 

 buck, of Hicks & Crawbuck, Inc., re- 

 ports an excellent supply trade as the 

 result of a business trip just concluded 

 through Jersey, Connecticut and Long 

 Island. Wm. H. Kuebler finds his new 

 store none too large for his increasing 

 business, and Bonnet & Blake have 

 moved to 106 Livingston street, close 



to their old store, where much better 

 facilities may be enjoyed. 



Marshall & Co., on West Twenty-third 

 street, have developed a big retail seed 

 business on this great thoroughfare, and 

 their store now compares in size and 

 convenience with many of the down-town 

 seed stores. 



Max Limprecht has had more than his 

 share of misfortunes lately. In addition 

 to the fire, which destroyed his entire 

 stock, he is now laid up at home helpless 

 from locomotor ataxia. His family will 

 continue the business. 



The early closing movement among the 

 M-holesalers begins to take shape and 

 bids fair to be almost universal. 



This has been an abnormal season with 

 the auctioneers. The marts are crowded 

 and buyers pay big prices for many 

 things. But one seldom sees a retail 

 florist. Gardeners come occasionally, but 

 suburbanites are the patrons that have 

 lifted the scheme into life again. Among 

 those who ship stock to the auction 

 rooms I note Dryer, Lorenz, Henderson, 

 Thumann, Daly and Louie Schmutz. 

 Jjorenz has sold his property on Long 

 Island to the real estate boomers.

 Greenwood cemetery, was killed Satur-
