 IN RitKBONS 



Are qualities that bear tiie PINE TREE LABEL 

 for Novelty Decorations, Funeral Decorations, 

 Weddings, etc. The rich, brilliant luster, the 

 go<Kl hand and beautiful appearance make these 

 Ribbons head and' shoulders over any similar 

 (jualities, and they' cost.no more than the ordi- 

 nary trashy ril)bons usually offered around our

It pays to keep in touch with the manufacturer.

Stony ground. New York is the only 

 city of any consequence in the United 

 States that has not a regular plant mar- 

 ket. 



"The New York Market Florists' As- 

 sociation rents from the city 5,000 

 square feet of ground at the corner of 

 Canal and West streets, paying $1,000 for 

 the use of it for the three spring months. 

 On this ground they erect a tent, which 

 gives some protection from rain but does 

 not keep out the cold. This is the near- 

 est approach to a plant market in New 

 York. Strenuous efforts have been made 



by the above mentioned association to 

 provide a market. Committees have ap- 

 peared before every mayor and city ad- 

 ministration from Grant to McClellan, 

 bnt they got no recognition until Comp- 

 troller Grout became interested. That 

 gentleman, after convincing himself that 

 a market would at least be self-support- 

 ing, took up the project in a very ener- 

 getic and businesslike manner and had 

 plans and estimates made for a building 

 adequately heated and ventilated, suit- 

 able in every way for plant market pur- 

 poses. He 'put it up' to the Board of 



Estimate and Apportionment, which 

 promptly rejected his proposal. Unfor- 

 tunately, Mr. Grout went out of office 

 about that time, and no further efforts 

 have been made to get a market build- 

 ing. 



' ' This may not be the kind of a plant 

 market that the correspondent had in 

 mind, but the fact remains that a plant 

 market in New York is a crying need. 

 Plants and flowers should not be luxu- 

 ries ; there should be some method where- 

 by they could reach the people at a rea- 

 sonable price. Evidently the School Gar- 

 den Association and the Florists' Asso- 

 ciation have the same object in view,^ 

 namely, to get the people interested in 

 gardening. Obviously the first step 

 should be to agitate for a good market 

 building from which plants could be dis- 

 tributed at the least possible expense. 

 Will the School Garden Association make* 

 an effort in this direction! J. B.

The Market. 



Business is poorer than it has been 

 for a long time. With exceptionally 

 warm weather during the whole of last 

 week, the production of flowers was 

 greatly increased, far beyond the needs 

 of the market, and prices all around had 

 to decline. Boses have so far held up 

 well, but are now sagging with the rest. 

 Beauties are rather more plentiful, but 

 the call for them is rather light. Kil- 

 lamey and White Killarney remain the 

 leaders. Bride and Maid are both har** 

 to move. Bichmond is good. Some nice
