NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The chrysanthemum dominates the 

 market. AH values circle around this 

 glorious autumn flower, now at its best, 

 and its beauty and power accentuated 

 by the numberless flower shows here 

 and all around us. Prices are steady 

 and likely to remain so. The novelties, 

 if they reach the commercial market, 

 will sometimes command 50 cents, but 

 the cream of the older kinds do not 

 often go above 25 cents. Splendid 

 stock could be had last week as low 

 as $8 to $10 per hundred, while the 

 great bulk of the arrivals sold at from 

 $5 down to $2 per hundred and still 

 there was an overflow. It is believed 

 there will be no scarcity of blooms up 

 to Thanksgiving. 



The market is surfeited with roses; 

 old and new varieties alike are in 

 unlimited supply. The American Beauty 

 is now at its best, but 25 cents seems 

 to be its top, and this only for the 

 choicest. The supply is increasing daily. 

 All the standard varieties hold last 

 week 's quotations. 



Carnations are now abundant. Prices 

 do not yet advance, waiting evidently 

 for the departure of the mums. There 

 is no change in lily or valley quota- 



tions, the tendency of the former being 

 downward. Violets are excellent in 

 color and quality, but no improvement 

 in demand is noted. The department 

 stores are still giving them away. Gar- 

 denias are improving. Orchids are 

 coming in from many growers, espe- 

 cially the cattleyas, and prices are 

 low when the perfection of the stock 

 is considered. 



Various Notes. 



Next Monday, November 11, is chrys- 

 anthemum and ladies' night at the New 

 York Florists' Club. F. H. Traendly 

 will look after the ladies and Mr. 

 Chenck will provide entertainment. 



The annual flower shows to date have 

 been unusually successful everywhere 

 near New York. 



The American Institute is holding its 

 annual mum show, at 19 West Forty- 

 fourth street, Wednesday, Thursday 

 and Friday of this week, on the same 

 dates as the show of the Tarrytown 

 Horticultural Society. 



Hallowe'en was well advertised 

 through the publicity committee of the 

 Florists' Club. Every retail and whole- 

 sale florists' store decorated its win- 

 dows with the attractive posters. All 

 things considered, the innovation was 

 encouraging and much greater results 



are anticipated for Thanksgiving. The 

 poster will be more elaborate and the 

 leading daily papers will be used to 

 awaken interest. 



The MacNiflf Auction Co. held a 

 special sale November 6. The company 

 has imported large quantities of box- 

 wood, evergreens, roses, blue spruce and 

 rhododendrons. Greater space has been 

 found necessary and Mr. MacNiff has 

 secured the entire store, with five floors, 

 at 58 Vesey street, only two doors dis- 

 tant from his headquarters. The season 

 to date has been unusually successful. 



At the funeral of John T. Meehan 

 last week there were displayed in the 

 church over 200 floral tributes, many 

 of unusual cost and beauty. 



The Bedford Hills Flower Co. has 

 completed the tall chimney and the 

 artesian wells. Mr. Moore, of Chatham, 

 took the trip inside the chimney to its 

 top to have a good view of his com- 

 pany's property. 



The Beechwood Nurseries, of Bound 

 Brook, have opened their winter depot 

 at 113 west Twenty-eighth street, over 

 the big store of Wm. Kessler, Gar- 

 denias are the principal specialty 

 handled. 



Bichard Vincent, president of the S. 

 A. F., was a visitor November 1 at the
