NEW YORK. 



TheMai^et 



Ever since the club's outing, July 1, 

 •vo have had the most perfect summer 

 >veather, the thermometer seldom going 

 above 75 degrees in the day, with the 

 'venings delightfully cool. But this week 

 ipens with clouds, excessive humidity and 

 ■ i temperature of 90 degrees, and we are 

 ready for another hot spell that will make 

 Cincinnati seem cool and comfortable, 

 with its electric fans in every room and 

 its chilly suburbs on the hilltops. 



The supply of roses and carnations is 

 now diminishing rapidly. In fact, except 

 gladioli and other outdoor stock, there is 

 but little offered for sale, and yet, with 

 "absolutely no business," as a Twenty- 

 eighth street wholesaler puts it, prices 

 remain about the same. Lilies, however, 

 have risen from the slough of despond 

 and are again back where they belong. 

 Notice of the summer shipments of 



gladioli from the local growers has 

 reached the wholesale market, July 15 

 being the allotted date to begin. This 

 will reduce the value, as usual, to 50 cents 

 per hundred. 



Apart from funeral work, there is little 

 call for flowers, and the next five or six 

 weeks will have to be accepted philosoph- 

 ically as the molting season. 



Carnations look good on arrival and go 

 to sleep without delay. Of iris, orchids 

 and gardenias the supply is quite able to 

 meet any possible demand. After the 

 convention.we will come to life again and 

 the coming season is big with promise. 



The Sweet Pea Convention. 



The final meeting of the National Sweet 

 Pea Society 's convention was held July 8. 

 Eesolutions were read, embodying the 

 gratitude of its members and votes of 

 thanks to the oflBcials of the National 

 Museum for the exhibition room and its 

 facilities and the many courtesies of the 

 officials. The exhibits maintained their 

 freshness and beauty to the close. The 

 public attended in large numbers and the 

 metropolitan dailies gave splendid notices. 



It was Joseph and not W. A. Manda 

 that made the orchid exhibit at the show. 



The callas in yellow and pink, exhibited 

 by John Lewis Childs, were a decided 



surprise to many and a center of attrac- 

 tion alvi^ys. 



Prof. Craig, browned and healthful 

 from his summer outing at Narragansett, 

 made an ideal chairman and toastmaster 

 and was the life of the society to its 

 adjournment. • 



Harry Bunyard may well be proud of 

 his pet child and can congratulate him- 

 self upon the splendid encouragement 

 given him by the exhibitors and the press. 



Maurice Fuld, secretary of the New 

 England Dahlia Society and manager for 

 W. W. Eawson & Co., Boston, was one of 

 the best speakers. 



The banquet, given at Kennelly's up- 

 town hall, July 7, was an enjoyable occa- 

 sion. The festivities lasted until nearly 

 midnight. Prof. Craig was an ideal toast- 

 master and interesting speeches were 

 made by Messrs. Turner, Bodding+on, 

 Bunyard, Totty, Fuld, Clucas, Duckham, 

 Sim, Zvolanek, Waite, and, in fact, every- 

 one present had something encouraging to 

 say of the new society and its energetic 

 founders. One enthusiast drifted into 

 poesy in his congratulations. 



Various Nolo. 



G. W. Crawbuck, manager of the 

 Greater New York Florists' Association, 

 says that last week the directors and offi- 

 cers of the association visited their grow- 

 ers in Jersey, from the Oranges to Mor- 

 ristown, in a touring car. D. Y. Mellis, 

 J. V. Phillips and Hugo Jahn, the Brook- 

 lyn retailers, were in the party and every- 

 body was elated with the wonderful show- 

 ing of this prolific territory.
