far it has not been so good a season 

 as last year, but they say they did not 

 expect it to be, and now peonies are 

 selling excellently, because there are few 

 other good flowers to be had. 



Both John Mangel and O. J. rriedman 

 have had metal pans put in the window 

 for aquatic displays during the sum- 

 mer. 



N. J. Wietor leaves July 5 on his an- 

 nual fishing trip in Wisconsin and prob- 

 ably will be accompanied by John Sin- 

 ner. 



C. W. McKellar is receiving some fine 

 Cattleya Gaskelliana, but says the de- 

 mand has fallen off. He also is re- 

 ceiving gardenias. 



E. C. Amling says that if the latter 

 half of the year is as good as the first 

 six months he will have no reason to 

 complain. He says that increased sup- 

 ply has enabled him to increase his busi- 

 ness, as compared with the same period 

 of last year, in spite of the lower prices 

 which have previuled. 



■ John Poehlmann says he is satisfied 

 with the June business, for it has turned 

 oat about as last year, in 8]f)ite of several 

 dull days in the month. He says the de- 



mand for good roses is stronger this 

 week than any time in June. 



Charles Northrup, who has a well es- 

 tablished reputation as a grower of sweet 

 peas, is sending large quantities of his 

 specialty to Kennicott Bros. Co. The 

 time was when he had the early market 

 for outdoor sweet peas practically to 

 himself. 



Miss Martha Gunterberg, who con- 

 ducts a flourishing commission business 

 in the Flower Growers' market, went 

 to Fairmont, Minn., July 1 for a visit 

 with relatives, expecting to be absent 

 several weeks, during which Sinner Bros, 

 will handle her stock. 



One of the week's visitors was W. H. 

 Trimble, president of the Trimble Green- 

 house Co., at Princeton, HI. They open- 

 ed a store in the business center this 

 spring and have had a fine trade. 



Louis Wittbold and family have been 

 spending a few days as guests of Mrs. 

 Wittbold 's parents in the country, 



\ Vaughan & Sperry say asters are ex- 

 pected in force in a few days. 



It is reported on good authority that 

 one commission house jettisoned 2,000 

 dozens of the early crop of peonies, which.

The democratic committee to pick the 

 organization slate for the August pri- 

 maries named Peter Reinberg for presi- 

 dent of the county board, but he de- 

 clined the honor. Mr. Reinberg has made 

 so good a record in the city council 

 that he is looked, up to as one of the 

 leaders of his party and his friends are 

 anticipating the day when he will permit 

 his name to be used at the head of the 

 city ticket. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market 



Last week was a hot one. Two or 

 three days the thermometer touched 

 par in some warm comers and the of- 

 ficial record was 97 degrees. This took 

 fche tuck out of everybody and every- 

 thing, so that the cut flower market 

 could not help but join in the general

 used up the -surplus, especially clean-
