TheMai^et 



The weather has been ideal of late and 

 refreshing rains and cool temperatures 

 have already caused a slight improvement 

 to be noticeable in the retail business. In 

 another week all the city places of amuse- 

 ment will be in full blast and this means 

 much to the store men. 



The wholesale market shows little, if 

 any, improvement, because of the im- 

 mense quantities of gladioli, asters and 

 hydrangeas still flooding the street. There 

 is little possibility of change for the 

 better, in the opinion of the veterans, 

 before Labor day. 



The middle of September will see the 

 local Beauty crop in evidence again. The 

 supply of first-class stock now is limited 

 and good prices are obtainable for per- 

 fect long-stemmed flowers. Of other 

 roses the shipments are unlimited, and 

 good figures are out of the question. 

 Most of the arrivals are sold in the boxes 

 and at the buyer's oflfer. The Brooklyn 

 jobbers buy them by the wagon-load. 



The orchid supply is still limited. A 

 few cattleyas arrive daily. The middle 

 of the month will relieve the stringency, 

 but there are not likely to be any too 

 many to go around during the busy 

 season. 



An abundance of lilies of all varieties 

 arrives daily, but prices are advancing 

 slightly. 



So great is the aster supply that the 

 best last week sold as low as $2 per 

 hundred. These easily commanded $4 

 to $5 a year ago. There is no end to the 

 gladioli and only the named varieties 

 bring a paying quotation. Ninety per 

 cent of all arrivals go for 50 cents and 

 less per hundred. With hydrangeas, 

 tritomas, golden rod and the new ferns, 

 there seems no excuse for neglect and 

 much reason for profuse and artistic win- 

 dow decoration. 



Various Notes. 



Next week, Thursday, September 9, 

 the New York and New Jersey Associa- 

 tion of Plant Growers will hold its 

 second annual outing and clam bake at 

 Whitestone Landing. The special train 

 leaves the Long Island depot at Thirty- 

 fourth street at 10:34 a. m. Tickets in- 

 clude transportation, a noon breakfast 

 and the. clam bake at 6 p. m., and are 

 $4 for gentlemen and $3.50 for ladies. 

 There will be bowling and other amuse- 

 ments and many prizes. Judging by 

 last year's success, a good time for all 

 who niav attend is assured. Invitations

Monday evening, September 13, the 

 Florists' Club will hold its first meeting

 Cincinnati convention and plans for the 

 fall show will have consideration. 



One of the wholesale florists says he 

 has solved the problem of the summer 

 dullness and the most barren season ever 

 known in New York, He attributes it 

 entirely to the automobile craze, ' ' Every- 

 one is motor mad, and every dollar that 

 can be spared by the lovers of luxury and 

 flowers has this year gone into the devil 

 wagons," There is more truth than 

 poetry in the suggestion.

 Monmouth County fair is on and a good

the month of September the horticultur- 

 ist will find opportunity at these great 

 gatherings to demonstrate his place in 

 the general prosperity. Out on Long 

 Island, at Mineola, over on Staten Is- 

 land, and at Westchester's great fall 

 fair, enormous crowds will appreciate 

 the exhibits.
