NEV YORK. 



The Market 



There is no improvement worthy of 

 mention ip the wholesale cut flower busi- 

 ness in New York. It will take another 

 week to turn the tide. The market has 

 been crowded with everything, but espe- 

 cially with asters, of which there seems 

 to be no limit. American Beauty roses 

 will be abundant this season if present 

 shipments are an indication. There are 

 already enough and to spare. Good car- 

 nations are limited and fair prices are 

 obtained. Gladioli and hydrangeas sim- 

 ply overwhelm all else in quantity and 

 display, and serve at least the laudable 

 end of profuse window decoration. 



Various Notes. 



The Pierson U-Bar Co. on Monday re- 

 ceived a telegraphic request from a 

 party at New Orleans from whom they 

 h»\d never before heard, asking for a 

 price on a house involving some thou- 

 sands of dollars. In reply to their wire, 

 the southern chap sent his order. That 

 is gk.iing some. 



Wri have an illustration of an all-the- 

 year-uround garden near New York that 

 is ai. interesting study, and teaches a 

 lesson worthy of consideration, as do the 

 practical developments of the Cash Reg- 

 ister Co. in home adornments. In Llew- 

 ellyn Park, N. J., Mrs. A. J. Stewart 

 has a glass enclosed garden. In Feb- 

 ruary the dogwood blossoms. All the 

 year around, the lawn-mower is run be- 

 tween the beds. At one side, under the 

 shelter of a blossoming magnolia and 

 near the trickling of water over moss- 

 covered tufa stones, Mrs. Stewart en- 

 tertains her friends. It is a simple even- 

 span house. 



W. A. Burnham, president of the Lord 

 & Burnham Co., is spending three months 

 in Europe, not only on a pleasure trip, 

 but to see what the old country has 

 done and is doing along horticultural 

 lines. 



Up to the present time, the greenhouse 

 concerns have turned out rather unsat- 

 isfactory and illy-printed catalogs. It 

 seems that Lincoln Pierson, president of 

 the Pierson U-Bar Co., has been study- 

 ing this catalog proposition for some 

 five or six years and the fruits of his 

 labor are shown in the 72-page book 

 they have recently issued. He is to be 

 congratulated on having set such a cat- 

 alog pace for the other concerns. 



Hitchings & Co., alive to the vital im- 

 portance and interest of cuts employed 

 in their advertising, in folder and cat- 

 alog work, have organized a photographic 

 department of their own. Along these 



lines, it is self-evident that in the ad- 

 vertising of the various greenhouse con- 

 cerns, the aim is actually to tell some-; 

 thing. The advertisements are really 

 conversations about the actual things 

 that the greenhouse concerns do. 



George Sarres, of 211 West One Hun- 

 dred and Twenty-fourth street, was re- 

 cently shot in the eye by a small boy 

 with a rifle. The eyesight will not be 

 aflfected. Sarres runs a plant stand in 

 front of the Pabst palm garden. 



The New York conventionists are grad- 

 ually and safely arriving home, every 

 one enthusiastic and with only good 

 things to say of everything but the 

 weather, and even that was quite as hot 

 and as humid at home as in Dayton. 

 A goodly number stopped over at Buf- 

 falo and Niagara Falls and delightful 

 visits were made at William Scott's, Pal- 

 mer's, Anderson's and the other prom- 

 inent florists of the Bison city. Several 

 spent Saturday at the Falls, and realized 

 a little of their self-sacrifice in foregoing 

 the advantages of this great natural 

 convention center. The genial mayor 

 was greatly disappointed — but is a good 

 loser and is coming to Philadelphia to 

 plead his cause another year, with the 

 Buffalo boys behind him. Some day 

 there will be an S. A. F. convention at 

 Niagara Falls. 



The trip west was most delightful. 

 The committee that selected the N. Y. C. 

 received no adverse criticism. From 

 humidity and 90 degrees of depressing 

 heat we swept into cooling rains and a
