The Market. 



The week opens with clear, warm 

 weather again, and shipments will surely 

 increase before May arrives. There was 

 a general clean-up on Saturday and prices 

 were steady at last week's quotations. 

 Beauties were all taken and the selected 

 ones brought 25 cents to 30 cents. The 

 medium grades of all roses were low 

 enough in price for buyers and a more 

 cheerful tone prevailed than has been the 

 case for a long time. Killarney still holds 

 the record for abundance. Everybody 

 has them, and there has been no de- 

 cadence in their popularity. 



Carnations are none too plentiful and 

 prices are a shade better. The cool 

 weather is in their favor. Prices of or- 

 chids have held up steadily for several 

 weeks, the selects still holding the top at 

 75 cents. The wedding demand has been 

 persistent. May promises a moderate 

 observance of the marriage celebrations, 

 but most of the bon ton florists have their 

 books already well filled for June, and 

 there will be something doing every day. 

 There seems to be plenty of lilies yet, 

 and $4 per hundred was the best the most

WHY NOT YOU? 



It stands for protection in Ribbons. You get just ex- 

 actly what you pay for in Ribbon value and these Ribbons 

 contain more silk value than any similar priced Ribbons a 

 jobber may offer you. 



We are manufacturers and sell direct to the trade. Why 

 not let us send > ou samples of our Monarch Satin Taffeta 

 Ribbon, which has no equal; also our Taffeta Ribbons and 

 Chiffons ? Proof of our assertions is all we want to submit.

of them commanded. Callas were higher, 

 one wedding last week calling for 2,000 

 of them. Gardenias retain their popular- 

 ity. The finest sweet peas the New York 

 market has ever seen are now arriving. 

 Lilac has departed. The street merchants 

 have turned to roses and arbutus. Violets 

 have pulled down the curtain for the 

 season. The few arriving brought 35 

 cents per hundred. Snapdragons, stocks 

 and pansies round out the display in the 

 wholesale windows. Smilax continues a 

 profitable need. 



Varioas Notes. 



Monday evening. May 10, is the next 

 meeting of the Florists' Club. The club 

 is growing rapidly in numbers. There 

 should be an average attendance now of 

 150. The May session will be one of the 

 most important of the season. 



The wholesalers of Twenty-eighth street 

 begin to see daylight — some of them. 

 George Saltford has secured the proper- 

 ty next door to Traendly & Schenck's and 

 Walter Sheridan 's new quarters, an excel- 

 lent location, and a little nearer Sixth 

 avenue. Ford Bros, have taken an entire 

 house, which will be thoroughly modern- 

 ized; the upper stories probably will be 

 turned into convenient offices. Both these 

 firms have secured long leases. As about 

 everything on Twenty-eighth street, be- 

 tween Broadway and Sixth avenue, must

 now as though before 1912 nearly every

 Twenty-eighth street looking anxiously

 to be some more handsome premiums paid
