NEW YORK. 



TheMa^et 



March has maintained its reputation as 

 the blizzard month and last week, into 

 the midst of a most delightful spring 

 temperature, suddenly hurled the worst 

 wind, snow, rain and sleet storm since 

 the great blizzard of 1888. Trees, wires 

 and even houses fell before the gale. 

 The bad weather lasted until the week 

 ended. Its only good effect was a fair 

 advance in the values of roses. These 

 advanced about twenty-five per cent 

 above the quotations of the beginning of 

 the week, especially for the best quality 

 of Maids, Brides and Beauties. Cattleyas 

 also have made a move forward and 

 are not plentiful. Occasionally $1 each 

 was asked for the choicest selections. 

 Washington took about everything first- 

 class that could be spared for the na- 

 tional celebration. 



Carnations hold their average well, and 

 quality is now at its high tide. Lent has 

 doubtless had some effect upon the vol- 

 ume of business, so many society people 

 having retired to the sackcloth and ashes 

 of their country places. Weddings are 

 scarcer, the big balls are about over and 

 the notable dinners have had their day 

 and are forgotten. Violets remain at low 

 ebb in price and abundant in quantity. 

 Only the special large bunches of selected 

 touch 50 cents. The street men load up 

 daily with the leftovers, at as low as

$1.50 per thousand. Of southern narcissi, 

 daffodils, sweet peas, tulips and every 

 spring flower, in plant or cut bloom, 

 there is an abundant supply. 



Easter is in the air. Less than a 

 month before the festival which prom- 

 ises this year to be greater than any of 

 its predecessors, and for which growers 

 and plantsmen are preparing with evi- 

 dent expectation of an overwhelming de- 

 mand. 



The Funeral of E. V. Hallock. 



The funeral of E. V. Hallock was held 

 Saturday, March 6, at Queens, L. L, 

 and was largely attended, many of his 

 friends from Chicago, Boston, Philadel- 

 phia and nearer cities and towns paying 

 their last tribute to the memory of one 



who was universally loved and respected. 

 The floral tributes were many and beau- 

 tiful. They filled the room where the 

 body reposed and were banked on every 

 side in loving arrangement and profu- 

 sion. The offerings of the New York 

 Florists' Club and the Society of Ameri- 

 can Florists were especially beautiful. 

 John B. Nugent, Jr., made up many of 

 the set pieces, and they were on exhibi- 

 tion in his windows and seen by thou- 

 sands before being sent away. The New 

 York Florists' Club especially feels the 

 great loss and bereavement whereby 

 their honored president was so suddenly 

 called away. By his unselfish devotion 

 to the club's welfare and his active par- 

 ticipation in every department of its life, 

 he had endeared himself to all its mem-
