buy 100 bunches of quite fair quality. 

 There are a few of the long-stemmed 

 varieties, however, that sell readily 

 and at near their value. Valley has 

 lost prestige also and its sale was slow 

 August 5, with 2 cents as top. Lilies 

 fell to 4 cents and under. There was 

 no fault to be found with the quality 

 and the shipments now are not over- 

 abundant. Plenty of rudbeckiii and 

 hydrangeas add to the inevitable Au- 

 gust surplus. There is no decrease in 

 sweet pea shipments, and the long- 

 stemmed ones do not have to beg for 

 recognition. There are none too many 

 orchids and prices remain steady, with 

 60 cents as top for the selected gigas. 

 Carnations, with the possible exception 

 of a few specialties, do not bring over 

 $1. , Roses are largely short-stemmed 

 and only a few bring a price worth 

 mentioning; 20 cents was top for 

 American Beauty August 5. 



Various Notes. 



There are some handsome retail win- 

 dows of water lilies. Peter Henderson 

 & Co., on Cortlandt street, have made 

 an especially good showing. 



The convention is the chief topic in 

 floricultural New York. Chairman 

 Traendly desires that every one in- 

 tending to take the special train via 

 the B. & 0., August 13, send him his 

 name not later than Saturday, August 

 12, This is a necessity in view of the 

 large number who must be entertained.

 Moines, la., are in the city on their 

 way home from the advertising men's 

 convention at Boston. 



Mr. Velie, of the Boston oflBce of 

 Lord & Burnham Co., is away follow- 

 ing an operation for appendicitis, his 

 place being taken by Mr. De Forest.

 dition to the greenhouses of the New 

 Jersey experiment station at New 

 Brunswick. 



Percy B. Rigby, of the Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., and Mrs. Rigby, are away 

 this week on their annual vacation. 



Andrew Cova, manager of the sup- 

 ply department of George Cotsonas & 

 Co., is back from Europe and says the 

 importations of this house will be heavy 

 this fall. The firm is sending out a 

 new catalogue. The stork visited Mr. 

 Cotsonas last month and left a son and 

 heir.
