NEW YORK, 



The Market. 



The week opened with just the weather 

 needed in Oklahoma and Kansas ; a warm 

 rain and a thorough one precedes the 

 certain coming of the summer tempera- 

 ture." Before the week is over we will 

 forget there was a six months' winter 

 and that freezing cold extended into 

 May. No such season recurs to the 

 memories of the oldest florist in New 

 York. Still, there is much to be thank- 

 ful for. Business is almost universally 

 encouraging and the outlook is brighter 

 every year, as population grows. 



There has been but little change in 

 wholesale prices of cut flowers since a 

 week ago. The best Beauties grew scarce 



and some of them touched 25 cents 

 again. With a few days of sunshine there 

 will be the usual retrogression peculiar 

 to the season. Of all other roses there is 

 an abundance and prices hold at last 

 week's quoted figures. 



Carnations have been the most inde- 

 pendent of the cut flowers; prices have 

 been well maintained. Quality cannot 

 be excelled. 



The market was depleted of orchids 

 early because of the large number re- 

 quired for the funeral decoration at the 

 burial of "Silent" Smith. McManus 

 had one order for over 1,200 Cattleya 

 Mossiae. It speaks well for his resources 

 when such a call can be met promptly. 

 The Eosary and Leikens received the 

 bulk of the family orders. The designs 

 were unique and elaborate, the best being 



a standing wreath and cross of orchids. 



Gardenias have fallen to the lowest 

 quotations of the year. Of lilies there 

 are enough and to spare. 



Spring flowers are coming fast, and 

 apple and cherry blossoms enliven the re- 

 tail windows. Fenrich had a large ship- 

 ment of southern lilac Monday. The 

 first southern peonies, the early red 

 variety, were received by J. K. Allen 

 Monday. From now on there will be no 

 lack of anything seasonable and the 

 spring weddings will have novelty and 

 abundance to draw upon. 



Club Meeting. 



Circumstances necessitate a change in 

 the place of meeting, and therefore the 

 monthly session of the Florists' Club will 

 be held at the Hotel Earlington, 50 West
