ing out the daisy and carnation de- 

 partments. 



Immense quantities of Crimson Bam- 

 blers reached the market in sprays of 

 great beauty, but the demand for these 

 was small. The best Beauties have 

 held at 25 cents and Maids and Brides 

 at 5 cents, the number of good ones 

 being limited. 



The good carnations grow less in 

 quantity daily and bring fair prices, 

 bat the common stuff is still abundant 

 and almost unsalable. The market is 

 flooded now with sweet peas, phlox and 

 outdoor roses. Gladioli are here from 

 the south and shipments are increasing. 

 Soon summer rates for these will pre- 

 vail. Gardenias are perfect. John 

 Scott distributed, to all in attendance 

 at the growers' outing last week, 

 flowers that would readily bring $10 a 

 dozen in the winter season. The last 

 of the peonies were fine stock and 

 brought readily $1 a dozen. The Cot- 

 tage Gardens Co. was still sending some 

 fines ones as late as June 26. 



In herbaceous -stuff there is an 

 abundance. Sweet peas are showing 

 the effects of the long drought. Gladioli 

 are ten days ahead of last season and 

 the Long Island stock will be here in 

 large quantities by the middle of July. 



The green goods men have an abund- 

 ance of pond lilies arriving daily. The 

 call for orchids has been persistent and 

 large quantities have been shipped to 

 other cities. From now imfil Septem- 

 ber there will be enough of everything 

 and to spare. 



Great quantities of valley, orchids 

 and roses were used last week by the 

 friends of ex-President Cleveland, and 



nearly all the best designs were sent 

 by New York florists. 



The Plant Growers' Outing. 



The first annual outing of the New 

 York and New Jersey Plant Growers' 

 Association took place Thursday, June 

 25, at the Huguenot Inn, on the ocean 

 shore near Huguenot, Staten Island, and 

 was a great success. The members of 

 the association and their friends to 

 the number of sixty took the Staten 

 Island ferry at 10:30 a. m., and aftte 

 a 10-miJe trolley trip through the island 

 and an auto ride to the beautiful re- 

 sort chosen for their reunion, sat down 

 at 1 o'clock to a shore dinner that was 

 a credit to the association and the 

 hotel.

 Schultheis and Mrs. Schultheis, Vice- 

 President F. L. Atkins and Mrs. At-
