 WHEN GOOD FLOWERS ARE SCARCE, why not use 



CREPE FLOWERS? 



^They are true to nature, durable and a most showy form of advertising, 

 making your window rich and gay and makipg you gay and rich. 



CREPE ROSES in all colora, lifelike in their colors and in form. They are admirable in every respect. 



CREPE SWEET PEAS— possess that fairy-like charm and variety of color that make them faahion-favored flowers. 



CREPE ORCHIDS— reproduce the rich, tropical effect of the orchid with startling fidelity. 



CREPE WISTARIA— afford a grace and color not found in any other flower. The clusters are extremely effective. 



PREPARED ADIANTUM FRONDS are used for green; they are perfect and durable.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



After a week of the hottest, most 

 humid weather New York has ever 

 known, there is a decidedly dull mar- 

 ket. "With little stock arriving, the 

 little that comes in is far below top 

 grade. If the hot spell continues 

 through the week there will be little 

 to encourage wholesaler or retailer, and 

 the only way to get comfort or profit 

 out of present conditions is to bow 

 gracefully to the inevitable and make 

 the best of it. 



Nearly all the roses arriving are 

 short-stemmed, fully developed, or else 

 the buds, remain in statu quo and 

 wilt, from the hot journey from green- 

 house to their destination. For carna- 

 tions 75 cents per hundred seems to 

 be top. The street merchants dispense 

 them at a penny each. A few selected 

 ones touched $1 per hundred July 10, 

 in small lots. 



Fine Cattleya gigas were selling at 

 50 cents top bid July 10. There seems 

 to be a sufficiency. Lilies have im- 

 proved slightly, getting up to 5 cents 

 for extra quality. Valley holds firm 

 at 2V2 cents for the best. The market 

 is flooded with sweet peas, much of 

 the arrivals being of poor quality. 

 These the street men handle and retail 

 at 5 cents a bunch. The best stock 

 sells readily, as always, but at low 

 rates, considering their stems and 

 beauty; $3 per hundred bunches was 

 the top quotation July 11. Gladioli 

 hold firm, waiting for the outdoor 

 competition. 



There is little demand for green 

 goods. Smilax was selling at the first 

 of the week at 50 to 75 cents a dozen 

 bunches. 



The Qreek Outing. 



The fifth annual outing of the Greek- 

 American Florists' Association, Thurs- 

 day, July 6, was an immense success, 

 651 adults, 84 children and 10 musi- 

 cians, making a total of 745 in attend- 

 ance, beating all records of the society. 

 The several committees deserve great 

 credit. . The arrangements were perfeirt 

 and everything was run on schedule 

 time. The prizes were valuable and
