Prices subject to chang^e without notice. 



J. H. Small, Sr., who has been seri- 

 ously ill for some time, is still holding 

 his own. 



The flower show has enthused all the 

 florists and the guaranteed fund is grow- 

 ing for the show of 1908. 



The Washington club will be well rep- 

 resented at the Baltimore show next 

 week. 



Mr. Peterson, Jr., of Cincinnati, and 

 Mr. Dikis, of the Jansen Co., New York, 

 called this week. O. A. C. O. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market 



Indian summer said farewell Novem- 

 ber 23. It was a week of almost sum- 

 mer temperature. A heavy rain of 

 nearly twenty-four hours' duration 

 ushered in Thanksgiving week and the 

 cold snap, so long anticipated, is here. 



The receipts last week were enor- 

 mous and better quality never graced 

 the boards of the wholesalers. Every- 

 thing received was good and yet, with 

 operas and horse show in full swing, 

 the increased demand was hardly de- 

 tectable and there was never a scarcity. 

 At the horse show many violets, orchids 

 and gardenias were worn. We look for 

 a fairly satisfactory Thanksgiving. 

 Stock will be plentiful and superb in 

 quality, and prices will be reasonable. 



'Last week the chrysanthemum sup- 

 plies did not diminish and prices did 

 not increase. The $4 a dozen ones of 



1906 were the $2 a dozen stock of 1907, 

 but thousands were sold as low as $2 a 

 hundred. There should be a decided 

 change for the better for Enguehard, 

 Gold Mine, Chadwick and Golden Wed- 

 ding. No better stock of these ever 

 came to the New York market and this 

 market, F. H. Traendly says, with the 

 possible exception of roses, is head and 

 shoulders above the west. Certainly no 

 other center can compare with us in 

 the size, perfection and variety of the 

 chrysanthemum. Violets were low. 



Beauties are advancing in price slow- 

 ly but surely. On Saturday $25 a hun- 

 dred was easily obtained. Some 

 claimed a higher rate for the selects. 

 There were too many Bride and Maid 

 for independence in values. Few 

 touched $5 a hundred. Quantities were 

 sacrificed early in the week. 



Carnations remain below their real 

 value. Finer stock cannot be grown. 

 A year ago they were worth twice their 

 present quotations. The grower grows 

 impatient and wonders. Dozens of them 

 have been here to see conditions for 

 themselves. These observe and under- 

 stand. Conditions are abnormal. 



The supply men seem to be very busy. 

 Millions of ferns are being housed. Ga- 

 lax, the bronze variety, so long scarce, 

 is now arriving. Wild smilax in 

 abundance may be found at all the sup- 

 ply centers and the basket and Christ- 

 mas bell disseminators are already 

 rushed. There will be some holly for 

 Thanksgiving and the supply of bloom- 



ing plants would indicate an expected 

 demand for home decoration. 



The advance orders for plants for 

 Christmas are now being booked daily. 

 The demand is universal for medium- 

 priced stock and the day of options 'at 

 $50 and $100 is past. The outlook seems 

 to be encouraging for an enormous call 

 for the plant combinations at $5 and 

 $10, and growers, as well as retailers, 

 are governing themselves accordingly. 



Various Notes. 



December 9 the New York Florists' 

 Club will hold its final meeting of the 

 year, and election. President Totty will 

 retire with a splendid record. His pet 

 schemes, the club home and the cham- 

 pion bowling aggregation, will yet see 

 fulfilment. The secretary is too good to 

 lose and too necessary to the club's 

 stability. There will be no contest. 



Mayor McClellan has appointed Hen- 

 ry Smith park commissioner. Samuel 

 Parksons, Jr., has been acting as com- 

 missioner and president of the board 

 for some time. 



F. H. Traendly 's mascot has just re- 

 asserted her winning power at the 

 Courtelon Club, Flatbush, where on a 

 25-cent chance she won a $100 ice-box. 

 No wonder Traendly was elected presi- 

 dent of the S. A. F. 



Emile Savoy, an expert grower of 

 ferns, at Secaucus, and formerly with 

 the Eobert Craig Co., at Philadelphia, 

 is sending his stock to Samuel A. 

 Woodrow, 53 West Thirtieth street.
