gratulation on the growth of the club and 

 the cleverness of the banquet arrange- 

 ments. Several Holland salesmen also 

 were present and were given a chance to 

 Bay something pleasant. 



CORRY, Pa. — The new greenhouse for 

 A. E. & B. C. Pettit, on East Main street, 

 has been completed and is well stocked 

 with a general line of plants. It is a 

 cypress house, of John C. Moninger con- 

 struction. The Pettits had a fine Easter 

 trade, in spite of an all-day snow storm 

 on Saturday. 



ALVIN, TEX. 



Cook & Cook say that jasmines this 

 year will be short for Decoration day, 

 owing to the late spring. 



Mrs. P. E. Nelson also reports that 

 cape jasmine buds will be late this sea- 

 son — the main crop too late for Decora- 

 tion day. "Last year," she says, "the 

 crop was too early, so we have two years 

 of failure in succession." 



"We had a late freeze this year," 

 Mrs. Nelson continues, ' ' and all tender 

 outdoor plants were frozen. Early in the 

 peofiou we had nothing to ship but vio- 



lets — the Governor Herrick variety, 

 which does finely in our section. Later, 

 however, sweet peas came along nicely, 

 as well as tuberoses and Shasta daisies. 

 The strawberry crop is fine this year; 

 there is no overproduction and prices are 

 good. Figs are also promising. Sat- 

 suma orange trees are laden with bloomi 

 and a fair crop of fruit is assured." 



W. A. Dennis feels greater confidence 

 than some of the other shippers of jas- 

 mine buds. April 25 he gave it as his 

 opinion that the greater part of the crop 

 will be just right for Memorial day, when 

 it is most wanted. Last year it was much 

 too early. 



NEVYORK. 



The Market. 



About as disagreeable a week as the 

 year has furnished closed on Sunday 

 morning, April 25, with a frost, after 

 several days of rain and cloud. There 

 has been undue lingering in the lap of 

 winter, and while the weather has been 

 especially manufactured for the nursery- 

 men, the seedsmen and the auctioneers, 

 the needs of the cut flower growers and 

 wholesalers have been sadly neglected. 

 Consequently, gloom and stagnation in 

 cut-flowerdom, with low prices and light 

 demand. The cleaning-up process on 

 Saturday was accomplished only at star- 

 vation prices, and roses and carnations 

 were forced to join the violet procession 

 and accept whatever the highest bidder 

 saw fit to offer. It is unwise and unnec- 

 essary to specify. Every variety of cut 

 flower sank to its summer level. 



Decoration day preparations are al- ^ 

 ready under way, and a visit to the plant
