a finely executed cast of William A. 

 Riggs, of Jamaica Plaiu, by Hugh 

 Cairns, the well-known sculptor, was prO' 

 sented to the Caledonian Club. Mr. 

 Riggs is at present chief of the club.

 wedding in Taunton last week. 



Florists should be able to purchase 

 ice at much lower rates next summer. 

 Dealers are taking advantage of the 

 present cold wave to harvest a fine crop. 



The pure white sport of Carnation 

 Fair Maid, to be introduced by John 

 Barr, of South Natick, and R. E. Moir, 

 of Brockton, in 1908, promises to be a 

 good bread and butter commercial va-

NEV YORK. 



TheMuket. 



Just at present it is wintry. There 

 is fair sleighing in the suburbs and the 

 sunshine ought soon to create more nor- 

 mal conditions for the grower, who has 

 been sadly handicapped since the advent 

 of the year. 



There is a remarkable scarcity of 

 roses and carnations. Orchids and val- 

 ley are abundant; so are hyacinths, nar- 

 cissi and lilac. Gardenias are not over- 

 abundant and violets hold steady at from 

 $1 down, the high price only being paid 

 for the very best. 



Carnations are bringing from $3 to 

 $10 per hundred. Brides and Maids 

 fetch from $3 to $20, and Beauties from 

 $6 per hundred for shorts up to $12 per 

 dozen for the finest, the majority of 

 long, fancy going at $9 per dozen. 



Society has developed almost stagna- 

 tion, and the retail demand is below the 

 average, so the market may be said to 

 keep on the even tenor of its way. Every- 

 thing that reaches the city brings good 

 prices, and patiently, but expectantly, 

 the retailer bides his time. 



The large shipments of roses expected 

 about the middle of January and prophe- 

 sied by the veteran originator of the 

 Maid, have been sidetracked because of 

 the clouds a»d await a more convenient 

 season. The tide will soon rise; wait a 

 little longer. 



Your Plans 

 For 1907 



should include telephone 

 eervice at youi home as well as at 

 your place of business. 



It isn't only "just as 

 easy" to do things by telephone, it is

 CHEAPER and

The Toronto Trip, 



The trip of the carnationists from 

 New York to Toronto was an enjoyable 

 one. The entry into ' ' the land of ice 

 and snow" in the early morning re- 

 vealed the snowy mantle, and transition 

 from dampness, chill and grip to the 

 dry, clear, pure zero air of the frozen 

 north seemed to thrill the visitors with 

 life and enthusiasm. 



The jolly company lined up thus in 

 the special : From New York, F. H. 

 Traendly, John Young, A. J. Guttman, 

 M. Matherton, E. Escallier, Wm. Eccles, 

 Harry Bunyard, Peter Beuerlein and son, 

 Henry Reimels, S. Butterfield, M. F. Tier- 

 ney, Mr. and Mrs. Warburton, of Fall 

 River; Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Taylor, of 

 Southport; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Daille- 

 douze, of Brooklyn, and J. Austin Shaw. 

 At various points we picked up Messrs. 

 Wyland, Elverson and Fred Burki, of 



Pittsburg; W. G. Saltford, Poughkeep- 

 sie, N. Y. ; Mr. \elie, of Marlboro, N,Y.; 

 C. P. Dudley, Parkersburg, W. Va.; 

 P. R. Quinlan, of Syracuse; Peter 

 Crowe, A. O. Grassl and H. H. Nichol- 

 son, of Utica; Alfred Baur, Atlanta, Ga.; 

 Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Baur, of Erie, Pa.; 

 Paul Berkowitz, of Philadelphia; W. N. 

 Rudd, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. 

 Kasting, W. J. Palmer, David Scott, J. 

 White and Roland Cloudsley, Buffalo. 

 You can imagine the good-fellowship 

 that prevailed. The only disappointment 

 was the severe illness of William Scott, 

 of Buffalo, making his attendance at 

 the convention impossible. The esteem 

 in which he is held and the universal de- 

 sire for his recovery was especially dem- 

 onstrated at the banquet when a stand- 

 ing toast was drunk to his recovery and 

 his genial personality. No member of 

 the Carnation Society is more widely
