NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Winter at last I After a week of de- 

 lightful fall weather, quite as salubrious 

 and sunny as October, we have zero in 

 the adjacent mountains and 20 degrees 

 in New York. 



The New Year's celebration was not 

 much more than ' ' a good Saturday, ' ' 

 as some expressed it. Many of the re- 

 tailers acknowledge a good clearing up 

 of Christmas plants and baskets and a 

 few declare it was the best New Year's 

 they have known. The wholesale market, 

 however, did not advance for the day 

 and prices have steadied down since 

 Christmas to about the usual widwinter 

 values. 



Beauties have sold at from 50 cents 

 down. Maids and other roses brought 

 up to 12 cents. Carnations were worth 

 from 2 cents to 6 cents; orchids, 50 

 cents. Violets sell up to 75 cents. Win- 



dows of the retailers were quite spring- 

 like January 4, with narcissi, sweet peas, 

 hyacinths and tulips. About everything 

 seasonable is now in the market. Valley 

 is abundant and low, 3 cents buying the 

 finest and much of this even cleaning up 

 at 2 cents. Lilies hold their price well. 



Various Notes. 



Orchids demonstrate the result of 

 years of creative influence in their be- 

 half by the enterprising advocates of 

 their beauty and rarity. The number 

 of growers has increased amazingly and 

 the New York market is well supplied at 

 all times and with all varieties. This 

 is surely now the orchid center of the 

 world. Just the time for Koehrs and 

 Manda to launch the orchid society they 

 have been nursing so long and which is 

 about ready to be bom. 



Many New Yorkers are going to the 

 carnation convention at Washington. 



These are the days of smokers and ban- 

 quets. Madison celebrates on Wednes-
