NEVYOEK. 



ThtVLaket, 



The usiml midwinter calm, which al- 

 ways succeeds the holidays, is here. 

 There is hardly a ripple on the cut 

 flower sea. Not a breath of winter is 

 yet in evidence as the week opens, and 

 the temperature is 50 degrees. While 

 the west and north are powerless in the 

 grip of blizzards and zero, here in New 

 York we enjoy all the privileges of the 

 sunny south, which Mr. Taft is making 

 so congenial. But the gulf stream will 

 soon change its course and we will get 

 ours in storm and cold and grip, and coal 

 bills, long before the robins nest again. 

 Meantime we congratulate ourselves on 

 the ideal climate and are proud of it. 

 Everybody is happy, or ought to be, and 

 the new year promises encoun\gement 

 and prosperity for all. 



New Year's trade was quite satisfac- 

 tory. There was not too much of any- 

 thing, and prices were not advanced. 

 Eetailers have only good words to say 

 of the business done. The flowers and 

 plants and elaborate box and basket con- 

 ceptions sold rapidly and at almost 

 Christmas prices. 



The week opens with light shipments 

 and demand. Prices are lower and some 

 predict quite a recession as the week 

 progresses. A few anticipate greatly in- 

 creased receipts. The plants have about 

 recovered from the close cutting before 

 the holidays; not long will anything be 

 off crop and there will soon be enough 

 of everything and to spare. 



Special Beauties fell to 75 cents and 

 60 cents January 2. Probably 50 cents 

 will be top before the week ends. All 

 other roses are now abundant and 12 

 cents is top for Maid and Bride. Kil- 

 larney retains its remarkable popularity 

 and Richmond is in wide demand. 



There is p, fuU supply of orchids, val- 

 ley and lilies and carnations of every 

 grade and variety, now perfect in qual- 

 ity. There is too much smilax and as- 

 paragus. Violets held up wonderfully all 

 through the holidays and prices were 

 even higher than expected. 



The present week will develop no ex- 

 traordinary demand, but society func- 

 tions are numerous and many elaborate 

 dinners and receptions are announced. 

 The leading retailers are all busy. There 

 seems to be no cloud on the financial
