 dampness, so that your stock will always be fresh and fragrant.

 they are lined with white enamel, opal glass, tile, mirrors or marble, 

 as you desire. Write today for our free catalogue No. 72, which will give

The demand for orchids and garde- 

 nias does not increase the value; if 

 anything, the quotations are showing a 

 lower range than that of a week ago. 

 Lilies cannot advance while the mum 

 supply continues, and good stock last 

 week moved slowly at $3 to $4 per 

 hundred. 



The quality of the violets is improv- 

 ing, but still is far below the standard, 

 while the increasing shipments have 

 lowered the price to 30 cents per hun- 

 dred for the best of them, the street 

 securing ninety per cent of the stock 

 at its own figures, the pavement mer- 

 chants offering them at 10 cents per 

 bunch. Growers may well pray for a 

 freezing temperature. 



Various Notes. 



The flower shows this week include 

 the Bed Bank exhibition on Wednesday 

 and Thursday, the Glen Cove show on 

 Thursday and Friday and the New Jer- 

 sey Floricultural Society's exhibition 

 at Orange, on Saturday. Lenox and 

 Poughkeepsie have their exhibitions 

 i^Iso this week, from Wednesday to 

 Friday, so that visitors to all of them 

 will have to keep moving night and 

 day. Next week will be quite as inter- 

 esting in the exhibition line, the Tarry- 

 town show coming Tuesday to Thurs- 

 day, with New Haven the same days, 

 Dobb's Ferry on Friday and Saturday, 

 with Mt. Kisco the same date with 

 Sunday added. The big show, includ-

 York city, at the American Institute, 

 and the Museum of Natural History.
