NEVYOEK. 



The Market 



We have had a week of rain and chill, 

 with little change in business condi- 

 tions. A slight improvement was no- 

 ticeable Saturday. With cooler weather 

 and sunshine, with which the week has 

 begun, the market should harden and 

 prices commence their fall advance. 



The long spell of wet weather has de- 

 pleted the supply of outdoor stock, dah- 

 lias and asters showing the bad effects 

 of the storm and shipments growing less. 

 Both will be out of the way apparently 

 before the chrysanthemum flood begins. 

 Up to date few mums have reached the 

 market. Those arriving have been used 

 in decorating the retail windows and 

 have brought good prices. Monrovia, 

 Montmort and Gastellier comprise the 

 arrivals and as high as 75 cents was paid 

 for the best of them. 



Bride, Maid and Richmond are improv- 

 ing daily, and for the best 6 cents is the 

 asking price; 25 cents is top for Beau- 

 ties, and there are few of them. The 



lower grades of all roses are correspond- 

 ingly low in price. 



Carnations improve slowly. A few 

 good ones are arriving, but nine-tenths 

 of the supply is short-stemmed and dis- 

 posed of at buyer's option. Cosmos is 

 fine and abundant. There are plenty of 

 orchids and values have retrograded. 



Of violets the less said the better. The 

 demand cannot be hoped for before the 

 middle of the month, and yet the grow- 

 ers are sending them along, as if it were 

 in our power to create a call for them. 



Hodesoo Bankrupt. 



A petition in bankruptcy was filed 

 September 27, against J. M. Hodgson 

 (corporation), 718 Fifth avenue and 

 Newport, R. T., by Alex J. Guttman, a 

 creditor for $530 on two protested notes. 

 It was alleged that the corporation while 

 insolvent paid $200 to a creditor in New- 

 port to prefer him and permitted Julius 

 Roehrs Co., a creditor, to obtain prefer- 

 ence through legal proceedings. The 

 business was established in 1865 by J. M. 

 Hodgson, who died some years ago, and 

 the present corporation succeeded to the 



business in February, 1902, with a capi 

 tal stock of $40,000; Charles F. Hodg- 

 son, president. Joseph A. Arnold, at- 

 torney for the corporation, said the fail- 

 ure was due to continued poor business 

 and lack of capital. Liabilities are placed 

 at $10,000 and assets $5,000. 



Various Notes. 



The New York Herald of September 

 29 devoted a whole page to the modest 

 violet, with illustrations of planting, 

 picking and packing that were correct 

 and interesting. The violet crop of the 

 country is estimated at $2,000,000 yearly, 

 Rhinebeck getting $500,000 as its share. 

 Overproduction is lamented. 



The Florists' Club meets October 14 

 to listen to a lecture by Mr. Nash, of the 

 Botanical Gardens, on "Water Lilies," 

 illustrated. There will be a special of- 

 fering of southern cured delicacies from 

 the Jamestown exposition, imported by 

 Caterer Nugent, and an exhibition of 

 novelties. 



The dahlia show at the American In 

 stitute last week was a success. Large 

 delegations from society's ranks and a 

 goodly number of the common people at- 

 tended. A few of the florists and gar- 

 deners were also there. Julius Roehrs 

 Co. exhibited a splendid bank of orchids 

 and foliage plants. In this department 

 there was no competition. Rickards 

 Bros, were the only bulb exhibitors, and 

 had a fine assortment. Will Rickards 

 was in charge. Ellwanger & Barry, of 

 Rochester, made their usual excellent ex- 

 hibit of fruit. J. T. Lovett, of Little 

 Silver, N. J., carried off many of the 

 honors for dahlias. The new red single, 

 Seawood, deserves special mention. T;es-
