NEV YORK. 



The Market 



Convention week in Philadelphia was 

 a peaceful one in wholesale cut flower- 

 (lom in New York. No wonder, with 

 nearly all the principals at the great 

 floricultural reunion in the Quaker City. 

 It was a week of rest and preparation 

 for the strenuous season close at hand. 



There was no change in values last 

 week in the street, and the shipments 

 grow in volume and in quality daily. 

 Roses especially are rapidly improving 

 and some fine new stock is already ap- 

 pealing to the first-f-lass retail trade. 



The supply of gladioli shows no dimi- 

 nution. Asters have improved wonder- 

 fully in quality and some grand stock 

 is now arriving. Prices of everything 

 are on rock bottom. There is only one 

 way left for them. The tide is turning. 



New York wholesaledom is proud of 

 the honor which the S. A. F. has Con- 

 ferred on one of its favorite sons. That 

 he will be one of the most active, prac- 



tical and devoted presidents the society 

 has ever chosen will be demonstrated to 

 the satisfaction of his loyal supporters 

 and to the equally loyal membership that 

 voted for his popular competitor. 



Variotts Notes. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florists ' Club, at its new rooms, on Mon- 

 day evening, September 9, will be one of 

 congratulation and reminiscences. Not 

 only will this be an experience meeting, 

 but in the fine rooms, at Thirty-fourth 

 street and Third avenue, double space 

 for the exhibitors will make the club 

 rooms popular with growers and a large 

 display of novelties is anticipated. Ex- 

 hibits will be welcomed from everywhere 

 and may be sent to John Young, secre- 

 tary, at 51 West Twenty-eighth street, 

 who will attend to the staging, etc. Re- 

 member the date and do not fail to 

 come. 



James H. Beatty has been appointed 

 superintendent of parks in Manhattan 

 and Richmond boroughs of New York. He 

 has been connected with the park de- 



partment in various capacities for twen- 

 ty years. He is a veteran of the Spanish- 

 American war. Many applications for 

 the position came from practical gar- 

 deners and it was generally expected the 

 selection would be made from their 

 ranks. The salary is $3,000 a year and 

 1,000 men are employed under Mr. 

 Beatty 's supervision. 



Messrs. Hopkins and Shechan. of A. 

 J. Guttman 's force, have returned from 

 their vacations. 



The business heretofore conducted by 

 Traendly & Austin will be continued in 

 the name of Charles B. Austin. 



W. H. Donohoe, 17 East Twenty- 

 eighth street, had the large family 

 funerid order for Marion Story, brother 

 of Julius Story, the author. Twenty- 

 seven pieces were used, including a hand- 

 some pall of lily of the valley. 



Messrs. Craw, Connor, Tutiiill and Gor- 

 maa represented the Lord & Burnham 

 Co. at the convention. This company 

 distributed nearly 1,000 of its handsome 

 letter scale.
