The Market. 



Business in the wholesale market has 

 been steady and opened encouragingly 

 April 21. There is no surplus; Satur- 

 day's sales left the market compara- 

 tively depleted. Shipments are light 

 and the general trade is not complain- 

 ing. Prices have not advanced and cur- 

 rent quotations seem satisfactory to all 

 concerned. There has been little change 

 from last week's price records. Beau- 

 ties are doing better. Carnations have 

 been strong and continue to hold so, the 

 novelties bringing $4 per hundred. The 

 selected American Beauties have sold as 

 high as 30 cents each. All other roses 

 are firm at last week's quotations. The 

 best cattleyas still bring 75 cents and 

 are not plentiful. The, second grade is 

 selling at 50 to 60 cents. Violets may 

 as well be omitted for the balance of 

 the season. Valley is firm, offerings 

 being at from 3% cents down to 2 

 cents. The best tulips sell at $3 per 

 hundred. Lilies are plentiful. All 

 spring flowers are abundant and prices 

 low. These include lilac, phlox and pan- 

 sies. 



Various Notes. 



The seedsmen are elated and univer- 

 sally prosperous. The general verdict 

 is, ' The best year in our experience, ' ' 

 and the season still is young. It has 

 been a grand year for the nurserymen; 

 perfect shipping and planting weather, 

 vegetation encouragingly delayed. 



L. .T. Kervan, who has spent the win- 

 ter enjoyably in Florida, will return 

 to the city May 1. 



Harry Weston, of Hempstead, L. T., 

 president of the Growers' Cut Flower 

 Co., was operated upon last week for 

 appendicitis. He is in the hospital at 

 Mineola and his many friends will be 

 pleased to know the prospects are en- 

 couraging for his complete and early 

 recovery. 



M. C. Ford displayed in his window 

 last week some fine gladioli from Flor- 

 ida. 



Schurer & Gay had charge of the 

 home decoration for the wedding of 

 Herman Weiss last week, at which fifty 

 guests were present.

Mention Th> Ri>t1«»w wh^n too wrtt» 



Owing to unavoidable delays, the' 

 opening of the marble palace of John 

 S. Nicholas, in the Grand Central Ter- 

 minal, did not take place until April 23. 

 Mr. Nicholas extends a cordial welcome 

 to the florists to visit this unique store. 



It must delight florists everywhere to 

 know that the National Flower Show 

 was so satisfactory a financial success 

 that it may now be safely announced 

 that under the same splendid manage- 



ment and in the same building the ex- 

 hibition will be repeated in 1914. Thero 

 is every reason to believe the annual 

 flower show hereafter in New York will 

 prove as great a drawing card as the 

 horse show or the automobile exhibition. 



At Arthur T. Boddington 's the report 

 is "a tremendous sale of hardy roses 

 and practically sold out of cannas."
