. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 848 The American Florist. May 6, WE ARE WHOLESALE FLORISTS. W rE handle every variety of Cut Flowers.

GUTTMAN & RAYNOR,Inc., '^^?^i-x|i|| 101W. 28th St., NEW YORK New York. DULL BUSI>"ESS FOLLOWS BIO HOLIDAY. The weather for the week following Easter was cool and gloomy, which, coupled with the reaction that always follows a great holiday, had a very de- pressing effect on business. May opens with indications of spring and both the florist and seed trade businesses show a healthier tone, though we must ex- pect a great increase in the supply of cut flowers. Roses are even now very plentiful and prices are falling off. This is very noticeable in American Beauties. Carnations, during the past week, kept up to .$3 and $4 per 100, but $3 is now the top price, with pros- pects of a further drop. Lily of the valley is keeping well up to $5 and $6 per 100. Lilies are hard to move at from ?4 to $6 per 100. The finish of tulips may as well be written now. There is some very fair stock about, but the buyers do not seem to want it, and a few warm days will put the tulips out of business. Cattleyas are more plentiful and the best sell at the rate of 75 cents per flower, wholesale. Violets and gardenias are in the hands of the street men. A large stock of southern lilac is also on the market, much of which is also being handled by the enterprising peddlers. NOTES.
