and that's the end of it. Now that the 

 cold wave has passed and humanity can 

 get out of doors without freezing to 

 death, tiie surplus will go to the foreign 

 dispensers and something, at any rate, 

 will be obtainable for stock that last 

 week could not be moved at any price. 

 These conditions are abnormal. There 

 will be nothing to compare with them 

 for a generation to come. As one philo- 

 sophic wholesaler said, "We must just 

 grin and bear it. ' ' 



Lilies are down, as is all bulbous stock. 

 There are no exceptions, no favorites. 

 The counters are simply loaded with nar- 

 cissi, tulips and valley. Think of superb 

 valley selling at $2 a hundred! It's a 

 shame. Look at last year's record and 

 quotations at this date. They tell the 

 story better than I can, or worse, rather, 

 for values were then on a pedestal 100 

 per cent higher than now. 



"It's a long lane that has no turn- 

 ing." "We will soon come to the part- 

 ing of the ways. Rivers can't flow up 

 hill all the time, and don't forget that 

 Easter is in sight and it is time now 

 to begin to lay plans for its certain and 

 profitable development. 



Club Meeting. 



A large and enthusiastic meeting of 

 the New York Florists' Club was held 

 Monday evening, February 10, Presi- 

 dent Weathered in the chair. Notwith- 

 standing the opening of the meeting 

 promptly at 7:30, the interest did not 

 flag to the close, some time after 11 

 o'clock. The attendance numbered sev- 

 enty-five. The committee appointed to 

 confer with the Horticultural Society of 

 New York, with a view to furthering the 

 mutual interests of the two societies, es- 

 pecially as to the holding of public 

 flower exhibitions, reported through 

 Chairman ,0'Mara that it had been de- 

 cided, after a careful review of the sit- 

 uation, that it would not be for the best 

 interests of the club to accept the Hor- 

 ticultural Society's proposition. The 

 committee suggested that it would be 

 better that the club members become 

 active instead of associate members of 

 the Horticultural Society and strongly 

 urged the wisdom of earnest cooperation. 

 W. A. Manda made a strong plea in 

 behalf of amalgamation, enumerating 

 many advantages of union, the small 

 amount of cash required, the certainty 

 of a center for the holding of exhibitions 

 and the prospect of a national flower 

 show in New York in 1909. Mr. Jaen- 

 ecke took the opposite view. The com- 

 mittee's report was finally adopted, Mr. 

 Sheridan moving its continuance. 



Mr. O'Mara announced the certainty 

 of a fall show, the Museum of Natural 

 History furnishing the hall, and the- Hor- 

 ticultural Society to ask the aid of the 

 Florists' Club in carrying the exhibition 

 to a popular and successful conclusion. 



Mr. Sheridan gave a glowing account 

 of the progress made in behalf of the
