There's the outing and the Dayton con- 

 vention to stir up things in the interim, 

 and everybody needs a little rest. Eter- 

 nal distribution of flowers even would 

 grow monotonous. It has been on the 

 whole a most wonderful year for all in- 

 terests, the best ever known in cut 

 flowers, supplies, seeds, bulbs, nursery 

 stock and bedding plants. The average 

 gives no cause for the grower's com- 

 plaint, if he does complain, and we 

 haven't heard him except about the in- 

 justice and arbitrariness of express mo- 

 nopolists. Everything the grower grows 

 has been sold, and usually well sold, 

 and prosperity never was so universal in 

 the trade. The wholesale cut flower men 

 are philosophical and willing to look on 

 the bright side of things and are quite 

 as generous and good natured as ever. 



Ijaat week was certainly a terror. Lit- 

 tle stock was first-class. When it was, it 

 «old quickly and at fair prices, but the 

 bulk of everything was closed out at 

 fearful reductions. Mildewed roses 

 ■would not sell at all. Some wholesalers 

 could not give them away, and of car- 

 nations I saw boxes two or three days 

 canned that even the Greek sidewalk 



element could not be coaxed to accept 

 without money and without price. Shoals 

 of carnations were sold on Saturday at 

 50 cents a hundred and less. 



And peonies, where did they come 

 from? One whole wagon-load of them 

 went for $10, Jersey grown and of fair 

 quality. This week will probably see 

 the end of the flood. The late comers, 

 if the quality is good, will do better. 

 Some from the west of the state will be 

 in, retarded by the cold and, unless in- 

 jured by the big storm of Sunday, should 

 command fair prices. 



Orchids hold fairly steady and there 

 are plenty of them. The June weddings 

 are increasing in number, and all the 

 bon-ton retailers are getting a share 

 from the strong boxes of the millionaires 

 who have marriageable daughters. 



Qub Meeting. 



The New York Florists' Club on Mon- 

 day evening held its last session for the 

 season. The ladies came in large num- 

 bers and received a warm welcome, 

 abundant floral recognition and an ex- 

 cellent dinner. The gentlemen, too, were 

 not forgotten. The musical and literary 



program included songs and instrumen- 

 tal music by Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Fon- 

 gey and declamations by Mr. Kelley, 

 Several of the club's members also con- 

 tributed of their talents. 



The peony exhibit was not large, but 

 the display was of the best in color and 

 variety. The Columbia rose was again 

 on exhibition, also Nephrolepis Whit- 

 mani and a beautiful collection of 

 orchids from Lager & Hurrell. A cul- 

 tural certificate was given and the thanks 

 of the club accorded all the exhibitors. 

 The peonies were sent by the Cottage 

 Gardens and Chas. Lenker. 



The outing committee reported every- 

 thing in readiness for the excursion July 

 2 and tickets selling rapidly. Great 

 preparations for the enjoyment of a 

 record crowd are completed. 



Resolutions on the death of the sister 

 of John F. Nugent and the father of 

 Peter Devoy were read and adopted. 



Mr. O 'Mara reported for the commit- 

 tee appointed to secure lower express 

 rates and read a letter from the United 

 States Express Co. that was very inde- 

 pendent and unsatisfactory in character. 

 The committee was continued. Mr.
