The Market 



The week opens with almost a summer 

 temperature and everything indicates 

 quite a fall in the prices of cut flowers 

 before the week is over. Supplies of 

 roses are fast increasing. Values are off 

 twenty per cent, comparing this week 

 with last, and they are going slowly. 

 Beauties are down to 50 cents for the 

 best; in large quantities 40 cents is ac- 

 cepted. There are plenty of them now. 

 Richmond is down from its pedestal, and 

 even Killarney is no longer dear; 8 cents 

 will buy the finest Maid and Bride. Some 

 were selling good stock at 6 cents Mon- 

 day morning. 



Carnations are grand in quality, but 

 gross in quantity. It is hard for the 

 market to absorb them all without seri- 

 ous concessions. Grand stock was sell- 

 ing as low as 2 cents on Monday. Even 

 the few novelties arriving have receded 

 to within the reach of all. 



Lilies are lower, especially callas, and 

 tulips are abundant and cheap. Garde- 

 nias and orchids hold their own. Big 

 shipments to Washington, March 3, will 

 take everything in sight. 



For violets, 50 cents is the extreme top. 

 The market is flooded, too, with sweet 

 peas and quotations have fallen. Some 

 days it has looked very springlike at the 

 street corners. Southern narcissi will 

 be here this week in quantity. George 

 Saltford already receives large shipments 

 daily from the sunny southland. 



The general retail trade is in a healthy 

 state and the majority seem to be busy 

 most of the time, but this village is get- 

 ting so healthful, and the climate so 

 mild, that the funeral work departments 

 are not rushed. Washington's birthday, 

 with its dinner celebrations, seemed to 

 have all the retailers busy. Several balls 

 this week will have extensive decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Everything indicates a great success 

 for the Florists' Club's banquet at Shan- 

 ley's Saturday evening, February 27. 

 The president's reception begins at 6 

 p. m. 



The next regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club is March 8, and this will be 

 rose night. There will be a great exhibi-

tion and the biggest crowd of the year. 



Several rose growers from this section 

 have already booked themselves for the 

 Buffalo rose convention, March 17. On 

 the same evening occurs the banquet of 

 the National Gardeners' Association and 

 their exhibition, which will draw record 

 crowds this year and continue for two 

 days. Many handsome prizes have been 

 donated for this event. Some of the 

 prizes are: Gold medal from Lord & 

 Burnliani Co., silver cups from Pierson 

 U-Bar Co., Bobbink & Atkins, Ellwanger 

 & Barry, Peter Henderson & Co., Eick- 

 ards Bros., Burnett Bros., J. P. Lorenson, 

 Charles Elliott, John Shore, J. J. Don- 

 nelly, Julius Roehrs Co. and W. E. May- 

 nard. 



The bowling department of the New 

 York Florists' Club meets Monday even- 

 ings. Secretary Scott called his men to- 

 gether for a royal start on Washington's 

 birthday. President Donaldson says the 



club will have a team at Cincinnati that 

 will carry home all the prizes, and John 

 usually means just what he says. 



Leo Niessen, of Philadelphia, was in 

 the city Saturday, February 27. 



Mayor Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was in 

 the city last week, but will be unable to 

 attend the banquet of the Florists' Club 

 as expected. 



Joseph A. Manda, of West Orange, is 

 adding several orchid houses to his plant 

 this spring. 



L. G. Wertheimer, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 leaves the city this week for Palm 

 Beach, Fla., and other resorts for a two 

 weeks ' vacation. 



The Newman Floral Co. is much 

 pleased with its success in the new store 

 at the corner of Fifth avenue and Broad- 

 way. Since the departure of Fleisch- 

 man from this part of the city, Mr. New- 

 man has a monopoly of this fine sec- 

 tion of the metropolis. Mrs. Newusan
