supply large; all the growers appear to 

 have had excellent success. 



E. F. Winterson Co. reports that some 

 of the finest late Bonnaflfons coming into 

 this market are from J. R. Falkenstein, 

 of Naperville, who will have them for 

 some weeks to come. His 5,000 calla 

 bulbs are expected to be in full crop for 

 Christmas. 



Bowlin£. 



The bowlers are all tied up in a knot. 

 At the session December 2 the Violets 

 beat the Carnations two out of three 

 and the two teams are now tied for first 

 place. The Orchids and Roses also are 

 tied for third in. the league.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The present week opened with Indian 

 summer weather, but with the prediction 

 of snow and a western blizzard. There 

 has never been so favorable a fall for 

 the nursery interest ; not yet has a killing 

 frost visited this section. But the holi- 

 day season is in the air and the Adiron- 

 dacks have sent the advance guard of the 

 Christmas tree consignments. The usual 

 dullness preceding the Christmas business 

 is here, and while stock is somewhat 

 scarce and prices steady, no immediate 

 advance from present quotations seems 

 probable. Beauties have not gone above 

 40 cents and December 6 fine stock was 

 selling as low as 25 cents in large lots. 

 The Beauty supply this season promises 

 to be abundant. Local growers of the 

 standby are increasing in numbers, as 

 the impossibility of competing with the 

 American Beauty is realized. Of the 

 pink roses, My Maryland seems to be 

 gaining in popularity. The supply of 

 Killamey is enormous; 8 cents is a fair 

 average for the tea roses, a few selected 

 ones bringing a higher figure and the 

 bulk of the shipments selling from 6 

 cents down. 



The shipments of mums are lessening 

 daily and still there are more of the late 

 varieties than ever before in December. 

 It seems as if there will be a fair supply 





Eliminate Waste 



Repair bills are an economic loss. 

 This applies more to business wagons 

 than to anything else. The best is the 



cheapest. Be sure it's an Armleder

left for Christmas. Prices hold well. 

 There are plenty of carnations and the 

 perfect stock and the novelties bring 

 good prices, 4 cents being a fair average. 

 The top for violets is 75 cents. Khine- 

 beck stock is fully up to the average of 

 other years in size and quality. Notwith- 

 standing immense shipments to the west, 

 there seems no diminution in the New 

 York supply and the left-overs go, as 

 usual, to the street men at unquotable 

 prices. 



Lilies have advanced at times during 

 the last week, selling up to 12 cents. 

 Valley is firm at 3 cents to 4 cents and 

 even 5 cents for selected stock. The 

 orchid is still king and everything arriv- 

 ing sells on sight, the price holding 

 steady at 75 cents. Cypripediums bring 

 from 10 cents to 12 cents and are of 

 splendid grade. Hyacinths, narcissi and 

 Btevias are abundant. 



Cold weather is needed to put snap and 

 life into the business. The outlook for 

 the winter season, and especially for 

 Christmas, is optimistic. Prosperity is 

 general and the using of cut flowers and 

 flowering plants for the holiday prom- 

 ises to break all records. The plantsmen 

 were never so well prepared for the in- 

 evitable buying wave that will soon be 

 sweeping over Long Island and New Jer- 

 sey, and not a perfect plant of any kirid 

 will be left unsold. The out-of-town 

 buyers are already here and shipments 

 are still being made with safety. 



John Young's Plans. 



John Young has decided to give up 

 the sale of cut flowers at wholesale and 

 devote more of his time to the develop- 

 ment of the range of greenhouses at Bed- 

 ford, N. Y. Large additions to this 



place are being planned, especially the 

 erection of a big block of houses for 

 growing carnations. The entire output 

 of this place will be consigned to 

 Traendly & Schenck. N. W. Young's 

 address will continue at the store, 51 

 West Twenty-eighth street, which it is 

 rumored will be occupied by him and 

 Mr. Fenrich. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, was in the 

 city December 6, making extensive pur- 

 chases. "A great Christmas," is his 

 prophecy. 



G. E. Bradshaw celebrated his forty- 

 third birthday December 4, twenty years 

 having been spent in the florists* busi- 

 ness. He expects to have a branch holly 

 and evergreen store for the holidays, as 

 usual. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club wiU take place Monday evening, 

 December 13, at the Grand Opera House 

 building on West Twenty-third street. 

 It is election night and there will be a 

 record crowd and much that is interesting 

 in exhibits and entertainment. 



The Aphine Co. will demonstrate its 

 insecticide Monday afternoon, December 

 13, at the big store of the Manhattan 

 Flower Market, 46 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, from 2 to 5 p. m. Treasurer Ebel 

 hopes for a large attendance and solicits 

 the shipment of any plants affected with 

 any of the insects to which plants are 

 subject. 



John Egenbrod, formerly with A. J. 

 Guttman, is now on the staff of Millang 

 Bros.

Thorley and lately with John Nicholas,
