NEV YORK. 



The Market. 



Business was pretty fair last week, 

 especially towards the end. All good 

 stock brought fair prices. There wasn't 

 much of it. The weddings were abun- 

 dant and will be this week. One retailer 

 said it was the best June he ever bad, 

 and all the retailers have been busy. 

 This week should be the banner one of 

 the month. All the schools are closing. 

 The steamer travel is enoymous. All the 

 big boats are crowded and every one of 

 them has oceans of flowers when it sails 

 away. 



Beauties hold well, all things consid- 

 ered, the shipments being large and the 

 demand from out of town stronger than 

 usual. There must be some weddings in 

 Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo and 

 other villages. Orchids, too, are called 

 for continually. Arthur Newell says the 

 bon tons out Kansas City way are be- 

 ginning to ask for them. 



New York 's orchid market will be none 

 too well supplied for the call as the 

 months roll on. In a year I predict the 

 use of double the quantity grown today. 

 There never will be a surplus of good 

 orchids. Carrillo & Baldwin, over in Se- 

 cAucus, have had some fine importations 

 and are moving along rapidly at their 

 new place there. McManus handles 

 daily the fine shipments of Lager & Hur- 

 rell. 



Brides and Maids were firm and 

 scarce. On Saturday, $4 per hundred 

 was easily obtained for good stock. Car- 

 nations, too, advanced quite a little, good 

 flowers touching $1.50 readily. The sup- 

 ply is decreasing. Plenty of branches 

 of Crimson Ramblers are here and only 

 sell when well flowered and brilliant in 

 color. 



The south is again in evidence with 

 gladioli in fine condition. They go rap- 

 idly and at fair prices. Soon the local 

 growers will have their innings. The 

 water lilies are expected daily. 



Lilies are in every window, superb 

 stock generally, some, however, showing 

 the effects of the heat and too soft for 

 endurance. The price is below expecta- 

 tions. 



Everybody must be growing sweet 

 peas. They are very abundant and prices 

 have retrograded fifty per cent. Peonies 

 have departed. All the popular ferns

Business is keeping up this season better than ever before. We 

 think it will pay you well to carry a good line of fresh staple sup- 

 plies. 



The Adiustable Plant Stand is fine for decorating and 

 shows plants nicely. 



Cycas Leaves are just in and in good shape. 



Pompeian Ware Vases will bring you sales. 



Everybody wants our F. F. Pins. They save time. 



Wheat Sheaves, Cape Flowers, what not? New 

 goods constantly arriving. Send for catalogtie. Tis free.

are largely used for window dressing, 

 Elegantissima, Whitmanii and Scottii be- 

 ing most favored. Some beautiful banks 

 of these are on exhibition. 



Various Notes. 



Small's window is fitted up as a water 

 lily display, with fountain effect and a 

 beautiful collection of all the best va- 

 rieties in many colors that prove a con- 

 stant attraction to the passing crowd. 



"Van Praag has introduced combination 

 baskets of flowers and fruit that sell 

 very rapidly and are most temptingly ar- 

 ranged. 



Donohoe reports a great demand for 

 steamer baskets and boxes, from out of 

 town as well as locally, and has had some 

 busy weeks in this department since the 

 exodus to Europe began. 



J. M. Keller and family, of Bay Ridge, 

 arrive this week from their European 

 tonr by the steamer Frederick der 

 Grosse. 



Frank H. Traendly, of Traendly & 



Schenck, has purchased a beautiful home 

 at 991 Ocean avenue, Brooklyn, where 

 he and his family are now residing. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co. are busy moving 

 into their big store on Barclay street, 

 next door to the Yokohama Nursery Co. 

 and Ehotert & Sons, and across the way 

 from H. Frank Darrow, successor to Aug. 

 Ehotert, and not far from H. H. Berger 

 & Co., Stumpp & Walter Co. and Balph 

 M. Ward & Co. Concentration seems to 

 be the watchword here. 



J. J. Perkins & Son have their big 

 ice-box established at 50 West Twenty- 

 eighth street and will be ready for busi- 

 ness there on July 1. Geo. Cotsonas & 

 Co. say the move to this address has al- 

 ready proved most satisfactory. Close 

 at hand is A. J. Fellouris & Co., and 

 across the street N. Lecakes & Co. Here, 

 too, the fern and galax men demonstrate 

 the value of concentration. 



Max Limprecht, who has been ill for 

 many weeks with locomotor ataxia, was 

 not expected to live on Saturday.
