NEW YORK. 



The Market 



The cut flower market was barely 

 steady during a week of rain and chill, 

 and even Saturday, with its brighter 

 skies, and Mothers' day, seemed to exert 

 Jittle influence. The weather was against 

 it. Prices were a little higher for white 

 roses and carnations Saturday, but there 

 were plenty that had to be closed out at 

 greatly reduced figures on Sunday. The 

 warmer and clearer weather of this week 

 indicates a great abundance of shipments 

 and lower prices. 



Long Beauties were as low as 12 cents 

 at times last week, for selected stock. 

 All varieties of roses shared in the gen- 

 eral slaughter. Carnations also have fall- 

 en, though a few sold at 3 cents on Sat- 

 urday. The leftovers of the same lots 

 were jobbed to the department stores and 

 street merchants at $1 per hundred Mon- 

 day morning. Lilies of all varieties are 

 lower. Vafiey now competes with the 

 outdoor and southern shipments. Lilac 

 comes from local centers and some of it, 

 owing to the sprinting ability of the 

 gatherers, has its first cost reduced to a 

 minimum. Tulips, daffodils and narcissi 

 are about to retire from competition with 

 the higher grade of decorative stock. 

 Gardenias are on the street. Orchids 

 are none too plentiful. 



Dinners to Japanese princes and some 

 brilliant weddings and theatrical events 

 kept the retail market from stagnation 

 last week. This week we have the pres- 

 ident, the actors' fair and the launching 

 of the dreadnought, Florida, calling for 

 elaborate floral decorations. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the New York Florists ' 

 Club, May 9, was well attended. Presi- 

 dent Miller in the chair. W. H. Siebrecht, 

 Jr., reported progress for the market 

 committee, and of his visit to the city 

 controller, who promised to bring the 

 • market project before the board of alder- 

 men, which later reported favorably. He 

 also referred to the excellent featuring of 

 the project by the city papers, and espe- 

 cially by the Evening Telegram, which 

 predicted for the enterprise an immediate 

 success. He said the consummation of

the market scheme cannot be long de- 

 layed, a«d everything now promises the 

 speedy and practical establishing of a 

 plant market for New York worthy of the 

 name. — 



The transportation committee reported 

 progress, as did Chairman Bunyard for 

 the outing committee, announcing Tues- 

 day, June 28, as the chosen date, and 

 Witzel's grove at College Point the place 

 for the annual "beanfeast," with the 

 usual rates for tickets, $5 a couple, men 

 $3.50, ladies $2, children $1 and babies 

 free. The souvenir is to be the same 

 style as last year, with portraits of the 

 club members, and all Who have not done 

 so are requested to send photos to H. A. 

 Bunyard without delay. 



The exhibition committee, through W. 

 E. Marshall, read a letter from Hitchings 

 & Co., offering a large silver cup, beauti- 

 fully chased, of the value of $25, sug- 



gesting a competition each year for the 

 same class of exhibits. The exhibition 

 committee recommended that the club 

 offer the cup for competition at the 

 monthly meeting, commencing with the 

 June meeting and ending with the De- 

 cember meeting of this year, said cup to 

 be known as the Hitchings Cup of Merit 

 and to be awarded to the exhibitor scor- 

 ing the greatest number of points during 

 the next five meetings and to be presented 

 to the winner at the first meeting of next 

 year. The committee also recommended 

 rules for the competition and the report 

 was adopted. W. F. Sheridan, for the 

 essay committee, announced an illustrated 

 lecture at the June meeting by George V. 

 Nash, the subject being "On Horseback 

 Through Hayti.'*
