Before closing time there was not a spray left. The every-day-in-the-year growers will not let the shortage be noticeable long. Lilies are stronger and not too abundant. The best stock was selling at $4 per hundred at the week's end. From that the price ranged down to $2 per hundred, for the com- monplace. Orchids are scarce, and the good prices of the last few weeks continue. Few flowers, however, go above $50 per hundred, and these must be extra fine. Dahlias, tritomas and the early mums are the only novelties in the windows, with decorative backgrounds of goldenrod and hydrangeas. There were tremendous arrivals of asters and gladioli all last week. Au- gust 21, counters, iceboxes and cellars were simply loaded with them. Various Notes. If the S. A. F. had decided to come to New York in 1916, the local com- mittees would have had the assistance of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association. The use of the Grand Cen- tral Palace for six days was assured, and the sale of 10,000 feet of space for trade exhibits. Doubtless the same conditions will prevail in 1917 if the 'texans will be so kind as to send the convention to us then. The last S. A. F. meeting in New York was in 1900. There will be a gladiolus exhibition this week from August 26 until Au- gust 29, inclusive, at Atlantic City, N. J., under the management of Maurice Fuld, of the Knight & Struck Co. There will be lectures by Max Schling, Arthur Cowee and Mr. Fuld. Mr. Schling is putting up an exhibit that he says will cost him over $1,000. The outing of the Mt. Kisco Horti- cultural Society has been postponed. Cosmos, the first of the season, were on exhibition last week at J. K. Allen's. James Coyle's new headquarters are at 102 West Twenty-eighth street.
