begun. Doubtless before the week 

 closes these, too, will join the procession. 

 The retail department of the business is 

 not complaining. Prices are so low and 

 funeral work so abundant, to many there 

 has been a harvest during these lean 

 weeks and in all a spirit of optimism is 

 noted. Confidence in all lines of busi- 

 ness is being restored, and apart from 

 the cut flower department there is no 

 complaint. It is hardly necessary to 

 particularize this week. Look over the 

 quotations and see for yourself what 

 they were on Monday, and Monday is 

 usually top for the week. 



Carnations have suffered the most, even 

 50 cents per hundred for excellent qual- 

 ity being accepted February 15. In large 

 quantities even lower figures were 

 touched. Some of the wholesalers here 

 receive over 10,000 a day on the average. 

 Multiply that by forty and you have 

 some conception of the enormous re- 

 ceipts, and nearly everybody who grows 

 carnations now is growing the best of 

 the newer varieties and growing them 

 well. 



Violets seldom rise beyond 40 cents. 

 Occasionally 50 cents is reached, never 

 more, and the remnants of each day go 

 to the street, often as low as $1 per thou- 

 sand. Valley, too, has fallen. The best 

 of it does not go above 2 cents and the 

 street corners take the rest of it and 

 peddle it at 5 cents a bunch. 



Close at hand are the shipments of 

 southern narcissi and the beginning of 



Lent 's six weeks of penance, as if all 

 the atonement necessary had not already 

 been made. 



Variotis Notes. 



St. Valentine's day was ahead of ex- 

 pectations. We are hoping "Washing- 

 ton's birthday, the last of the week, may 

 bring an old-time Saturday and be the 

 beginning of normal conditions and bet- 

 ter times. 



The A. J. Fellouris Co. has been in- 

 corporated in this city, with a capital 

 stock of $5,000. The directors are An- 

 tonio J. Fellouris, Spiro J. Loupy and 

 Gabriel G. Malhami. 



The weather is again spring-like. After 

 all. New York is not a bad winter resort. 

 Judging by some of the retail windows, 

 spring is near and the warnings of the 

 squirrels and the hedge-hog are baseless. 



In Small's, primroses and forsythia 

 make a brilliant effect. All the retailers 

 who are worthy of the name are taking 

 advantage of these abnormal prices and 

 displaying their decorative ability. Sic- 

 brecht's, Smythc's, Young's and McCon- 

 nell's are worth walking a mile to see. 

 So it is at Bowe's, and up at David 

 Clarke's Sons, on upper Broadway; at 

 Nugent 's and Donohoe's on Twenty- 

 eighth street; at Wilson's and Masur's 

 in Brooklyn, and at Myers' and Duer's, 

 on Madison avenue. Visiting florists 

 should not leave the city without study- 

 ing the skillful work and the charming 

 effects these artists produce daily. 



The annual dinner of the New York 



Florists' Club February 29, at the St. 

 Denis hotel, promises to be a great suc- 

 cess. Chairman Walter Sheridan is re- 

 ceiving many engagements of tickets 

 daily, and it is sincerely hoped that the 

 happy occasion may bring together an 

 assemblage of over 200. The misunder- 

 standing as to the delusiveness of the 

 affair should be corrected. It is not nec- 

 essary to be a member of the club to 

 enjoy this annual festivity. Everybody 

 will be made welcome and every member 

 is requested to bring a friend with him. 

 Dress suits are not necessary. The idea 

 is to have this year's dinner as popular 

 as those of ten years ago, when extra 

 room and tables were required. Send 

 your name at once to Mr. Sheridan. No 

 one can afford to miss it. A fine pro- 

 gram of music, eloquence and all that 

 goes to create and cement good fellow- 

 ship. 



George V. Nash, of the Botanical Gar- 

 dens, lectured Wednesday afternoon at 

 the American Institute on "Ornamental 

 Shrubs," illustrated with stereopticon 

 views. 



Wernz & Koehne are meeting with 

 great success since their removal to aris- 

 tocratic Fifth avenue. Their wedding 

 decoration of Grace church last week was 

 a most creditable accomplishment and 

 their career is a standing demonstration 

 of what the mission of the young men 

 in floriculture is to be in New York.
