HOT WEATHER BRINGS DULL MARKET. The business of the past week was very slow. As previously noted, there was a great exodus from the city for Labor day, and the intense heat of the remainder of the week kept everybody away that could stay away. The Jew- ish New Year, which was observed Sep- tember 9, and its attending celebra- tions, were expected to make some business for the florists, but partly on account of the hot weather, it did not amount to much. In any event, the Jews seem to be better sellers than buyers. The weather has had a bad effect on roses, much open stock ar- riving. There is yet a great volume of asters arriving, also gladioli, while the supply of dahlias, carnations and chrysanthemums is on the increase. The demand for dahlias, carnations and chrysanthemums is negligible, and will be while so many good asters are about, and the asters are a better hot weather stock than any of the others. The supply of cattleya orchids is in- creasing with a downward tendency in prices. Very fair gardenias, for the season, are on the market, but they are very hard to move. There is move- ment in lilies and lily of the valley, but an ample supply is arriving and prices vary. To briefly sum up : there will be no good business in this market until much colder weather, say a "swinging" big frost, arrives, so it's useless to worry. NOTES. Since they started to turn Sing Sing prison into an amusement resort, mur- der, robbery and other crimes seem to be on the increase in this state. Isaac S. Hendrickson, manager of the wholesale department of John Lewis Childs, Inc., Floral Park, N. Y., recent- ly removed his residence from Floral Park to Flowerfield. The Childs es- tablishment at Flowerfield also em- braces the post office of the district and it has been customary for the Childs safe to house the post office valuables. On Mr. Hendrickson's ar- rival at Flowerfield he took advantage of the protection (?) of the Childs safe for his household silver, a collec- tion of rare coins and Mrs. Hendrick- son's jewelry. At the same time en- terprising burglars, planned and suc- cessfully carried out the robbery of the safe. They probably . figured on the postage stamps and small change and were doubtless agreeably surprised when Mr. Hendrickson's collection come into their hands. At this writing no trace of the robbers has been found. Richard Vincent, Jr., president of the American Dahlia Society, visited this city September 9. Though it was a blistering hot day. he presided at a meeting of the society at 11 a. m%u201E vis- ited Bronx park in the afternoon, and later held a conference with John Young and Secretary Lane at the for- mer's office, relating to the approach- ing dahlia show, which will open at the American Museum of Natural His- tory, September 21 and continue three days. John Young will manage the show, which is a good word for it at the start. President Vincent and Sec- retary Lane will be on hand to render valuable assistance. After President Vincent had completed his labors in connection with the show, he enter- tained a party of friends at a dinner THE MONTREAL FLORAL EXCHANGE, Ltd. 140 Manfield Street - Montreal The Wholesale Commission House of Canada, Featuring the Products of Its Best Growers at Moquin's and took the train for Baltimore the same evening, which was a good day's work, but consider what a lusty young fellow he is. The visiting botanists who were in attendance at the New York botanical garden celebration during the week ending September 11, visited the Brooklyn botanic garden oh the latter date. They inspected the garden, had luncheon, and later went to the salt marshes near Merrick, Long Island. The delegates had a strenuous week, the weather being very warm. They visited Staten Island and several points in New Jersey on trips of botanical research. A number of papers were read by leading botanists. A number of women were in the dele- gation, noteworthy being Dr. Susan P. Nichols of Oberlin, O., and Mrs. A. Vincent Osmun, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst. B. J. Hession, 98-1 Madison avenue, who already had a fine store and con- servatory, concluded to improve it this season. To give the workmen full scope, the business was temporarily re- moved to a vacant store, next door. The improvements will soon be com- pleted and it is safe to say that it will be the finest store of the conservatory type, in this city. The roof was stripped of glass and the brick walls were built much higher and the roof re-glazed. Very elaborate show win- dows are being placed and the base- ment enlarged and concreted for a work and store room. The interior decorations will be very fine. A. N. Pierson of Cromwell, Conn., was in this city September 11. Mr. Pierson stated to the writer that his son, "Wallace R. Pierson, who, it will be remembered, recently underwent a severe operation in a San Francisco hospital, is now rapidly recovering and is on his way home, traveling by easy stages, so to speak. He is stopping at various points of interest to take short rests, thus avoiding the fatigue of a continuous journey. A peculiar accident happened on board the steamer Ryndam, in port from Rotterdam, Holland, September 9. Two of the crew, sent below to work at unloading bulbs, were overcome by carbonic acid gas generated in the bulbs, and were dead when hoisted to the deck. A fireman who went down in an attempt to rescue them, though he wore a respirator, had a narrow escape. Guttman & Raynor, Inc., are receiv- ing the new orchid shade seedling chrysanthemum from Frank Dinda, of Farmingdale, which is extraordinarly fine for this time of the year, selling at $5 per dozen, also new seedling car- nation, Olive Whitman, which is now producing excellent flowers. Frank Traendly and his interesting family are now back in their Brook- lyn home, after spending the summer at the farm, Rowayton, Conn. Mr. Traendly has had a severe attack of hay fever, but his friends comforted Text Appearing After Image: John Young & Co.
