Stockton & Howe, Princeton, N. J., 

 have decided not to cut the first blooms 

 of their new rose Princeton for a 

 month. 



Elie Baimbault has returned to 

 Buena, N. J., from a business trip to 

 La Belle France. He will import 10,- 

 000 lilac plants to add to his stock of 

 home-grown plants. 



The dahlia show of the Henry P. 

 Michell Gb. attracted crowds of visit- 

 ors. There was an excellent entry list, 

 with many fine exhibits of dahlias.

 sprays should ,. have read "assorted 

 sizes $1 per bttnch." Phil.

The Market. 



Trade shows signs of looking up, 

 but it still is quiet. People are rap- 

 idly coming home, and if. a cold snap 

 would but accelerate their return the 

 florists would smile broadly and hustle 

 to fill orders. Still, there is little com- 

 plaint, and the retailers all seem to 

 hjftVQ something to keep them going. 

 Last week there was some business 

 immediately preceding Jewish New 

 Year, but Friday and Saturday lapsed 

 into business doldrums of a pronounced 

 variety. 



The wholesalers complain the worst 

 of the temporary depression. They 

 have an abundance of stock, with prac- 

 tically no demand. Everything is plen- 

 tiful, save asters, which are seeing their 

 last days and are mostly of poor qual- 

 ity. Only the longer-stemmed asters 

 find any kind of a demand. Orchids are 

 plentiful, with slack sales. Dahlias are 

 moving well, although evidently worth 

 more money. Boses are glutting the 

 market and the retailers are wary in 

 their buying. They can be had almost 

 at **your own price" in five hundred 

 lots. They are in fine shape. 



Greens still are finding a fair de- 

 mand. Easter lilies are moving slowly. 

 Carnations are more plentiful, but tho 

 reds are not moving. Yellow mums 

 are good for the season. Whites will 

 be ready hert week. Gardenias are 

 coming along nicely. 



.' . -VarlouB Notes. , 1 , 



The Pennock-Meehan Go. states that 

 it will not build until spring. Some re- 

 pair work at 1216 Fourteenth street, 

 where its new store will be looated> 

 led to the report that the work' of 

 demolition had already b<^gan Tpiej^^^^ 

 tory to rebuilding. ,^
