Every one of them seems to be busy and 

 contented. "With all the great balls and 

 other accompaniments of the festive New 

 York season, a splendid trade may be 

 safely depended on until Lent, or until 

 society begins its hegira to Florida and 

 other popular southern centers. 



Beauties have held well, some fine 

 stock touching $75 per hundred the 

 first of the week, although $60 was top 

 almost universally. 



Prices have retrograded also on 

 Bride, Maid and Killarney. Richmond 

 maintains its popularity and the long- 

 stemmed stock often has touched $50 

 per hundred and even now sells readily 

 at $25. There is no surplus of red 

 roses. 



Carnations are overabundant at last 

 and prices are down, even for the se- 

 lects and novelties. The quality remains 

 superb. More orchids are coming in and 

 •ill the popular varieties are in good de- 

 mand. A great many are shipped out 

 of the city every day. Prices have de- 

 creased a little. The same may be said 

 pf gardenias; where they all come from 

 is a mystery. 



Harbingers of spring are sweet peas, 

 while lilac and forsythia, making the re- 



tail windows increasingly attractive, are 

 potent reminders of the fact that Easter 

 is only eleven weeks away. Already the 

 plantsmen are anticipating the needs of 

 the retailers and booking their orders. 

 Anton Schultheis, of College Point, was 

 in the city Monday, taking time by the 

 forelock, and showed me assorted lists of 

 $500 worth and over for single firms, 

 the proviso being only "save me at 

 least that amount of the best you have 

 and select and mark it for me now." 

 That is the provision the bon ton houses 

 make even this early, knowing how sure 

 will be the call this year for the usual 

 plant Easter, expected to be far in ad- 

 vance of the record breaker of 1906. 



The violets are arriving in battalions 

 now and there are enough and to spare. 

 Prices for even the specials did not go 

 above $1 on Monday and most of the 

 stock sold at 75 cents and so on down 

 to 40 cents. It is a question if they go 

 above $1 again at any time before 

 Easter. . 



Tuesday found business dull. 



The Fallon Case. 



George O. Fallon is said by the police 

 to have shot and killed Mrs. Lena Wiede- 



mann Monday night in her home in West 

 Eighty-second street and then shot and 

 slashed with a razor Miss Paulina Batel, a 

 boarder with the Wiedemann family, 

 after which he attempted his own life, 

 but will recover, at the Roosevelt hos- 

 pital. Miss Ratel, who was taken to the 

 same hospital, also was pronounced out 

 of danger. Fallon is under police guard. 

 Frederick Bergman, a caller on Miss 

 Ratel, who was beaten on the head with 

 the butt end of a revolver by Fallon, is 

 held in the House of Detention as a wit- 

 ness pending an inquiry by Coroner 

 Dooley. 



Various Notes. 



These are the days of horticultural 

 societies ' annual dinners, smokers and 

 receptions. This week the Madison 

 smoker of the Morris County Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Society takes place on 

 Wednesday evening. The same night 

 the Tarrytown Horticultural Society cel- 

 ebrates, an unfortunate coincidence, for 

 no one who has ever attended either 

 wishes to miss one of them. This is a 

 case of being at one place in spirit of 

 necessity, while the temperance dinner 

 of the other is amalgamated. A goodly
