TheMwicet. 



Little stock of roses or carnations is 

 now arriving, but the scarcity does not 

 raise the general average of prices while 

 the flood of asters and gladioli is sweep- 

 ing in and overflowing the market. Beau- 

 ties when perfect bring from 15 cents 

 to 20 cents and the best Maids, Brides 

 and Killarneys may be selected at 4 

 cents, but their number is limited. The 

 most of the roses arriving are small and 

 short-stemmed and the buyer fixes their 

 value. 



The supply of orchids is lessening and 

 prices must soon be nearer their real 

 worth. The prospect for this king of 

 flowers the coming season is a brilliant 

 one. The fact of many new sources of 

 supply will only add to their popularity 

 and general use. The smaller cities and 

 towns will utilize them as never before. 

 The shipments from New York will ag- 

 gregate 100 per cent above all other 

 seasons. 



Where all the lilies come from is a 

 mystery. Never has the average price 

 been so low. The big shipments continue. 

 There is no outlet for them in decora- 

 tions. The wedding bells no longer ring; 

 the steamer traffic is lessening; the gen- 

 eral health of the city is improving, and 

 funeral trade is dull. 



Various Notes. 



This is an outing week also, for ,Tuly 



29 the Greek Association celebrates, July 



30 the Florists' Club lunches and speeds 

 one of its members towards the bound- 

 less west, and July 31 the growers of 

 the Cut Flower Exchange will banquet 

 at Wetzel's. Early in September the 

 Retail Association will have a dinner and 

 vaudeville entertainment that Mr. Bowe 

 says will set a pace which will be hard 

 to follow. The plant growers, too, have 

 their annual clam bake simmering, so 

 that for the epicurean florist there is an 

 abundance of good things ahead that will 

 make stagnation diflScult for some time 

 to come. 



The one topic of interest in the whole- 

 sale street these days is the Cincinnati

 England folks join us at Albany our 

 special will be well loaded by the time 

 it reaches Buffalo. The Florists' Club 

 will have a liberal supply of refresh- 

 ments of every kind, as usual, and a most 

 enjoyable journey is assured. Secretary 

 Young says that berths are filling fast 

 and those who desire accommodations 

 will do well to write or see him at once. 

 The train is that fast and safe one, the
