NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Indian summer continues and the mar- 

 ket is overwhelmed with chrysanthemums. 

 There is enough of everything and until 

 the cold weather arrives there will be 

 little if any improvement. The demand 

 is growing, however, quite encouragingly 

 and prices will soon harden and ad- 

 vance, 80 that by Thanksgiving we may 

 look for the commencement at least of 

 the good times coming. 



Roses are now splendid in quality and 

 in variety. We have now a dozen grand 

 kinds to pick from, with Richmond, Kil- 

 larney and My Maryland most aggres- 

 sive and popular. The chrysanthemum 

 supply is immense, but prices are not up 

 to merit and much of the 25-cent stock 

 of other years goes at 10 cents to 12 

 cents. The best carnations remain be- 

 low their deserts and one big grower last 

 week said: "What's the use! I'll put 

 all my glass but one house into roses 

 next year. I'm not in the business for 

 fun and I know where the money is." 

 So rose growers here listen to the voice 

 of one of the biggest of the brotherhood. 



Orchids and gardenias are in good de- 

 mand. The new theater, the finest in the 

 world, the opera house and the horse 

 show will all help things this week. Vio- 

 lets also are looking up. The special 

 bunches of 100 sell readily. 



It is interesting to note the prices and 

 market conditions of a year ago. Then 

 Beauties were selling at 30 cents; mums 

 were growing less in shipments and sell- 

 ing at $3 per dozen; violets were 50 

 cents to $1 per hundred, and carnations 

 were advancing, with a cheerful outlook 

 for Thanksgiving. Let us hope that his- 

 tory may repeat itself. The promise of 

 a successful season seems brighter than 

 for years. Never have the retail stores 

 developed such enterprise and artistic 

 decoration as now and the number of 

 new ones would be appalling did we not 

 know the growth of the city is phe- 

 nomenal and the spending power of its ,

Club Meeting. 



The attendance at the club meeting 

 November 8 was large, every seat being 

 occupied. The only exhibit was a vase of 

 a new chrysanthemum, a sport from Yel- 

 low Chadwick, a fine large flower with 

 red lines in the inner side of petal. 

 This vase was shown by A. C. Zvolanek, 

 Bound Brook, N. J. Resolutions of sym- 

 pathy because of the death of a son of 

 J. B. Nugent, Jr., and a sister of J. K. 

 Allen were read and adopted. A. L.

 the resolution in behalf of increased pay 

 for city gardeners, reported that this
