Mention The Review when you write. 



John E. Haines, of South Bethlehem, 

 has been a frequent visitor in this city 

 with his handsome new carnations. 



The street believes that A. Farenwald, 

 of Roslyn, has finally decided to build 

 this season. 



Chas. Mecky, renowned as a grower of 

 pot plants, will build five houses at or 

 near Pittville this season. Mr. Mecky 

 has sold his place and is obliged to 

 move his greenhouses. 



The new violet. Gov. Herrick, from IT. 

 R. Carlton, of Willoughby, was seen in 

 this city for the first time last month 

 at the Pennsylvania spring show. 



Wm. J. Moore is very strong on choice 

 sweet peas this Easter. 



Berger Bros, are receiving large con- 

 signments of Richmond roses. 



E. Bernhcimer is handling some nice 

 flowers of Pres. Carnot rose. 



Through an error in the account of an 

 interesting wedding last week, tlic fact 

 that Mrs. Esehner and Miss Fannie Rice 

 were among the small but select party 

 who bade godspeed to the bridal couple 

 in New York was inadvertently omitted. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 receiving some Kaiserins that sliow evi- 

 dence of especially good culture. 



Edw. Towill, of Roslyn, is cutting 

 heavily from two-year-old lieauties, cut 

 back and rested after New Year's. 



Victor Grossans, in charge of the 

 Hugh Graham Co. 's plant at Logan, has 

 been tremendously busy getting out the 

 great quantities of azaleas, lilies, etc., 

 grown on this place for Easter. 



B. Esehner is now "at iionie" and 

 is still wearing his straw liat. Looks 

 like rushing the season somewhat. 



M. Rice & Co. report that their adjust- 

 able novelty plant baskets were all sold 

 a week before Easter. They are daily 

 expecting more from abroad.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Last week was on a par with its pre- 

 decessors, no change for the better or 

 the worse, just an old-time experience 

 of corresponding weeks before the East- 

 er festival. Deliveries of plants for 

 Easter have begun. Day and night this 

 will continue up to Good Friday, wiien 

 everything will be complete and the 

 grandest display of blooming plants ever 

 seen in New York will make its appeal 

 to sentimental humanity. 



Prices of cut flowers had no stability 

 last week. The supply was immense. 

 Sonic roses looked as it "pickling" had 

 been premature, it had been hoped this 

 year might be an exception to the old, 

 suicidal system. Beauties last week sel- 

 dom sold over $20 per hundred for the 

 best. Brides and Maids at $5 and vio- 

 lets at from 3-j cents per hundred down. 

 Carnations lield their own. 



For Easter there may safely be 

 prophesied no great increase. For 

 Beauties a few of the very finest may 

 bring $50 per hundred, with $40 top for 

 the average; $15 will likely be top for 

 Maids and Brides. Novelties in carna- 

 tions are likely to reach $10 per hun- 

 dred for the best, while the fancies 

 should easily reach $5. There will be 

 no shortage in anything; of that we 

 may be assured. 



Various Notes. 



Lilies in pots hold firm at 12 cents 

 per bud. luferior stock has been sold 

 at 10 cents. Enormous quantities of 

 bulbous stock are ready. Over at Will 

 Siebreclit 's, in Astoria, house after house 

 is crowded with them. It takes four 

 wholesalers, in addition to his own de- 

 partment in the Coogan building, to dis- 

 pose of them. Rebuilding is planned 

 for the summer, with several new houses. 



There seems to be no limit to Crim- 

 son Ramblers and they were never more 

 })erfectiy grown. Steinhoflf seems to be 

 tlie rambler king of Jersey. 



Over at Prince Bay, Schmitz lias a 

 tremendous stock, both of Crimson and 

 Baby Ramblers. 



Schloss Bros, find the days insuflB- 

 cient for supplying the demand tor rib- 

 bons. 



David Clarke's Sons have a wonderful 

 display at their big store on upper 

 Broadway. The facilities here are none 

 too large for the great business. 



Arthur Merritt's copyrighted leuco- 

 thoe wreaths are in good demand. 



ir. H. Berger & Co. report a large de- 

 i7iand for their Japanese importations, 

 especially pot-grown wistarias and 

 tlouble flowering cherries. 



McManus has his hands full supplying 

 orchids for Easter on orders that are 

 reaching him from all the big cities, as 

 well as a general local demand that can- 

 not be neglected. 



Traendly & Schenck make red roses 

 their Easter specialty. Their Jacqs are 

 grand. 



Bonnot Bros, have a good many orders 

 booked at the Cut Flower Exchange, for 

 out-of-town customers.
