W. Atlee Burpee has invited the 

 seedsmen to spend "a day at Ford- 

 liook" on June 24, the day after the 

 adjournment of the Atlantic City con- 

 vjention. 



The Ellenwood Greenhouses, Ernest 

 J. Bush manager, are erecting a fine 

 new house on the place near Hatboro. 



Nephrolepis Millerii is the name of 

 the crested sport from N. Scottii exhib- 

 ited by the Mt. Desert Nurseries at the 

 Florists' Club meeting last week. 



The Andorra Nurseries have complet- 

 ed a new propagating house as an addi-' 

 tion to their present range of glass at 

 Chestnut Hill. Phil. 



NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



Last week's business in cut flowers 

 was far from satisfactory to the whole- 

 salers, and prices are, sooner than an- 

 ticipated, down to the summer level. 

 American Beauties are firm at top fig- 

 ures for the few perfect ones arriving. 

 There is an abundance of mediocre 

 stock, not only of this variety, but of 

 roses generally. No carnations sell 

 above 2 cents, and the clean-ups the 

 last of the week were made at $5 per 

 thousand, with roses in large lots at 

 similar concessions. In some of the de- 

 partment stores roses, carnations and 

 even orchids were sold at the quoted 

 wholesale prices, purchases being made 

 in quantity at the buyer's price. Phila- 

 delphia is sending a lot of stock here 

 every day, and the latest rumor is that 

 one of the largest wholesale cut flower 

 houses of that city is to have a branch 

 in New York. Nothing slow about this, 

 and the invasion is called a certainty 

 by those who know. In fact, the new 

 store of Bussin & Hanfling's, next to 

 P. J. Smith's, on West Twenty-eighth 

 street, it is said, will house the venture, 

 though this is not definitely decided. 



The shipments of peonies are now 

 decreasing. Prices were off badly last 

 week, when the market was glutted 

 with them. 



Monday comes the carte blanche 

 wedding of Teddy Eoosevelt, Jr., and 

 if the ship comes in in the meantime, 

 the national welcome to Teddy Eoose-

Club Meeting. 



The final meeting of the season, June 

 13, brought a full house and proved 

 one of the best of the year. The exhib- 

 its were excellent, if not numerous. The 

 caterer did himself honor and the splen- 

 didly illustrated lecture on Hayti by 

 Prof. G. V. Nash held the delighted at- 

 tention of the audience until after 11 

 o'clock, following which the old guard 

 celebrated until cockcrow. 



The exhibits in competition for the 

 Hitchings cup were a vase of Gardenia 

 Veitchii from A. J. Manda, scoring 

 twenty-five points; Compacta, Irene, 

 Falconer, Fantastic, Little Blush and 

 Dr. Hogg gladioli from John Lewis 

 Childs, receiving a vote of thanks, and 



a magnificent showing of cut prchids 

 from Harry Turner, of Castle Gould, 

 scoring eighty-five points. 



W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., gave details ot 

 his meeting in company with Anton 

 Schultheis, H. C. Steinhoflf and Alex. H. 

 Donaldson with the "powers that be'" 

 in reference to the proposed market at 

 Fifty-ninth street, and announced a pub 

 lie hearing as set for Monday, June 20. 

 at 2 p. m., in the aldermanic chamber 

 of the City hall, which all growers and 

 florists interested are strongly urged to 

 attend. The room has seats for 100 and 

 should be crowded, the passing of a 

 resolution assuring the market being 

 now almost a certainty and only de- 

 pending on the enthusiasm manifested by 

 its advocates at this final consultation. 



F. H. Traendly gave his committee's 

 report on transportation to Rochester, 

 recommending the Lehigh Valley route.
