lets are doing well and lilies of all kinds 

 are in demand, but the supply of them 

 is not very heavy. The prices of all 

 varieties of flowers have dropped con- 

 siderably, but I believe that the bottom 

 has been reached and it will not be many 

 days till there will be a strong tendency 

 to raise them. 



We have been having weather which 

 more resembled spring than mid-winter. 

 The sun has been doing full duty and it 

 has been quite warm. At present it is 

 a little cooler, but the sun is still with 

 us and its influence is already making 

 itself felt in the quality of the flowers 

 being received. If the temperature re- 

 mains cold, there will be a decided im- 

 provement in the quaJity of stock very 

 shortly, and also in the quantity. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Gear's Vine street store was en- 

 tered by burglars last week. They ef- 

 fected an entrance through the back 

 door and ransacked the whole store. They 

 could not find any money, so they made 

 away with a quantity of ribbon and tin- 

 foil of no great value. 



The young man who has been going 

 the rounds of the retail stores for the 

 last few weeks working a game on them 

 was rounded up last Thursday in M. 

 Shanahan's store in Avondale. In the 

 police court his case was continued for 

 a week. His game was to order a funeral 

 design, ranging in price from $10 to $15, 

 to be delivered in a couple of days, and 

 he would promise to come the following 

 day to settle for it. He would then ask 

 for from $1 to $1.50 worth of flowers 

 to take with him, this to be charged with 

 the design. It worked in nearly every 

 case and he got away with the bunch 



of flowers. I have only found one store- 

 man who will admit having made up 

 the design and attempted to deliver it, 

 and he found the number given to be a 

 vacant lot. Several of the others found 

 that there was no funeral at the ad-

dress given and so were not out much. It 

 has all grown to be a joke among the 

 storeraen, but so far you cannot get a 

 Fourth street dealer to admit that he 

 has been done. The wise ones are smil- 

 ing to themselves, though. 



Huntsman & Co. are producing some 



of the finest single violets seen in this 

 market. On actual measurement they 

 were found to have a stem of ten inches 

 and the flower measured quite one inch 

 and three-fourths across. 



Walter Mott was a caller. He was as 

 jolly as ever and did some very good 

 business in this city. 



Paul and Henry Dailledouze were also 

 visitors. Richard Witterstaetter had 

 them in tow and they were taking in the 

 carnation establishments about this city. 

 They are on their annual tour of in- 

 spection. C. J. Ohmeb. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



At the last meeting of the New Jersey 

 Floricultural Society, held January 3, at 

 the society's rooms here, the new officers 

 were installed with the usual ceremony, 

 and the committees for the year ap- 

 pointed. The floral display, with but 

 two exceptions, consisted of orchids. A 

 Cypripedium Leeanum Clinkaberryanum, 

 the finest form of this genus in exist- 

 ence, and C. insigne Lucana, yellow 

 form, were staged by Lager & Hurrell, 

 of Summit; cut blooms of Cattleya 

 Trianae alba, of several distinct forms, 

 by Thomas Jones, of Short Hills; epi- 

 dendrums and Cypripedium Leeanum 

 Clinkaberryanum, by the new secretary, 

 Orson D. Miller, of East Orange, now 

 one of the largest growers for market 

 in this section; Anthurium Andreeanum 

 giganteum, by Joseph A. Manda, of 

 West Orange; violets by Charles Hath- 

 away, Max Schneider gardener, and 

 roses by Douglass Bobinson, John Ger- 

 van gardener.
