NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Still the east is in the grip of the un- 

 Beasonable weather. May 26 contributed 

 a cold rain, worthy of March. Vegeta- 

 tion is delayed, the early plantings of 

 tender and half-hardy stock are largely 

 destroyed, and there will be a big de- 

 mand for replanting. The market 

 gardeners of Long Island and Jersey also 

 have their own troubles. 



Decoration day promises an abundance 

 of bloom of every kind and the whole- 

 salers anticipate a large demand from 

 out of town. Prices are reasonable and 

 the commemoration universal. 



Beauties, the best of them, could be 

 bought for $10 a hundred Saturday, May 

 25, and the street merchants were utilized 

 to dispose of the lower grades. Rich- 

 mond, Killarney, Bride and Maid shared 

 in the decline, and after the call of Me- 

 morial day is over still lower levels may 

 be expected. Last year the lower rates 

 began as early as the first part of May. 

 Carnations are abundant and the quality 

 shows no retrogression. 



There will be plenty of orchids for 

 the June weddings and plenty of wed- 

 dings for all the up-to-date stores to 

 attend to. Bookings have been most en- 

 couraging. Some of the decorations are 

 to be carte blanche and elaborate. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. H. Donohoe's new store, at 17 

 East Twenty-eighth street, opens next 

 Saturday and is almost ready. It is 

 about four times the size of his present 



store, in a splendid location and is being 

 fitted up with all modern conveniences. 

 • The Eiekards Bros., seedsmen, have en- 

 joyed a wonderfully successful season. 

 Frank Dugan, their superintendent, who 

 has been with the Bridgeman store for 

 many years, has just fallen heir to $50,- 

 000 windfall and will leave for Ireland 

 early in the summer to gather it in. 



Arthur T. Boddington has been ill at 

 his home in Yonkers for a week. So 

 strenuously and so long has the day and 

 night work continued, it is a wonder all 

 of the seedsmen and plantsmen are not 

 down with nervous prostration. 



F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has 

 received his annual importation of cycas. 



Already the big convention of the S. 

 A. F. at Philadelphia, less than three 

 months away, is a theme of interest and 

 some of the big exhibitors are planning 

 for an extensive showing. It is not often 

 New Yorkers are afforded a national con- 

 vention at their doors and the attendance 

 from this city will be large, with the 

 great exhibition only two hours away. 



The New York Club's outing, July 2, 

 promises to excel all its predecessors, with 

 a guarantee fund of $550 to begin with. 

 Nothing but a cyclone can detract from 

 the attendance. 



The Rose Hill Nurseries, at New 

 Rochelle, announce the most satisfactory 

 planting season in forty years' ex- 

 perience. The plantings have been numer- 

 ous. Some large estates have been com- 

 pletely rejuvenated and shipments of 

 evergreens continue daily. 



O. V. Zangen reports the best season 

 in his career. 



H. H. Berger & Co. are comfortably 



ensconced in their new store, at 70 War- 

 ren street, and much delighted with the 

 change and their enlarged and improved 

 facilities. 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point, has 

 an abundance of everything for Deco- 

 ration day. His stock of boxwood is 

 large and of superb quality. Some grand 

 ramblers and Dorothy Perkins roses re- 

 main for this week's requirements. 



James McManus says he will have a 

 continuous supply of cattleyas for the 

 summer. The sources of supply are stead- 

 ily increasing. 



A small fire at John Young's green- 

 houses, Bedford Stafeion, was quickly sub- 

 dued and no serious damage resulted. " 



Henry R. Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, is 

 shipping daily fine dogwood and apple 

 and cherry branches from his own nur- 

 sery at Chatham, N. J. 



Bonnet & Blake and W. H. Kuebler in 

 Brooklyn are crowded for room and each 

 firm has all the business it can handle.

 daily from the L. B. Coddington green- 

 houses alone to make an ordinary whole- 

 sale business. 



Lord & Burnham Co. has just issued a 

 unique line of circulars, sending one 

 diminutive catalogue or reminder weekly 

 for eight weeks, covering in that time 

 every department of the greenhouse busi- 

 ness and reaching every one of the 10,000 

 florists in the country. The firm is doing 

 a tremendous business. Conservatories 

 at country homes seem to be spreading 

 to the uttermost parts of the continent. 

 All the firms in this line of horticultural 

 development report wonderful success 

 and increase. 



The new store of John Xing Duer is 

 now an established success. H. H. Coan, 

 the manager, reports results far ahead 

 of expectations. Window decor.ition has 

 been a specialty. The store and yard 

 have unusual conveniences. 



S. Masur in Brooklyn is now estab- 

 lished in his new store. 238 Fulton 

 street, next door to the old one. and has 

 fitted it up in excellent stylo, with mir- 

 rors, ice-box and electrical effects, doing 

 a fine trade among the Heights society 

 people. 



Uptown, on the corner of Fulton street 

 and Greene avenue, Robert G. Wilson, 

 with his new greenhouses in apple-pie 

 order, has facilities for large decorations 

 unequaled in the City of Churches. 



Leikens continues his fine decorative 

 work in the Belmont and anticipates a 

 larger store on his return from Newport 

 in the fall. With Mrs. Leikens he goes 

 .Tune 1 to the society city, wliere already 

 his Newport establishment is one of 

 the features of the season.
