The Market. 



The opening day of this week was 

 much better than any day last week. 

 It was, however, probably only a gen- 

 eral replenishing on the part of the 

 retailers that caused this demand. The 

 extremely cold weather seems to have 

 given the flower-buying public cold feet 

 or some other such dread malady, for 

 they surely are not turning out en 

 masse to get blooms. 



The dullness apparent in the ship- 

 ping business in cut flowers immediately 

 after the first of the year is disappear- 

 ing and boxes are now again leaving 

 on outbound trains with a most gratify- 

 ing regularity. The demand from other 

 towns for green goods, including cut 

 ferns, plumosus and Sprengeri, has 

 continued strong. 



Every kind of seasonable flower can 

 easily be had now in the market, and 

 most of them at any hour before 

 close each day. Even Killarney, which 

 has been on the short side for some 

 time, is easily available. The same is 

 true of American Beauties, Richmond 

 and white roses. The offerings of all 

 varieties of carnations are sufficient for 

 calls. Narcissi are selling slowly. Good 

 single violets, lilies, callas and choice 

 valley are the blooms that clean up 

 quickly. In New York doubles practi- 

 cally only specials are being offered. 

 Orchid offerings include some choice 

 stock. 



A few of the consignors to this 

 market do not seem to realize that the 

 thermometer has dropped below zero, 

 and as a result some boxes have arrived 

 in badly frosted condition. 



Opinions have been expressed by 

 many that as soon as the weather 

 moderates business will again go on 

 its busy way. If their forecasts are 

 correct the market will undoubtedly be 

 ready with a quantity ot good stock. 

 There has been much bright sunshine. 

 Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting some 

 fine orchids from Fennel, the Cyn- 

 thiana, Ky., grower. 



Alex Ostendarp, of the Cincinnati Cut 

 Flower Exchange, reports a heavy call 

 for plumosus and Sprengeri. 



The excellent Romans from Albert 

 McCuUough's own conservatories are 

 finding a ready sale. 



Martin Reukauf, representing Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was in town 

 on his fortnightly visit last week.

ST. NICHOLAS 



We recommend St. Nicholas as an all season scarlet carnation. 



Not only is it grand at Xmas time, but it is fine in October and 

 June. 



You need only one variety in scarlet, if you will grow St. Nicholas. 



Wherever we have shown it, it has always been conceded to be 

 the best scarlet on show. 



Visitors at our place invariably substantiate this claim. 



What more can we do to convince you that St. Nicholas is the 

 finest scarlet in sight ? 



We are booked up to late February. Send in your order now, for 

 late February or early March.
