The accompanying illustration shows the convention garden in contemplation at Houston, Tex., for the S. A. F. meet- ing in August, 1916, and was prepared from a drawing by George H. Kessler, landscape architect, who is doing work at Houston this year and whose services are available for the success of the garden. A part of the drawing is designated as city blocks, to show the relative dis- tance from the Rice hotel convention hall to the garden. Those in the trade who wish to ex- hibit in the garden may address C. W. Brock or J. S. Kerr, Houston, Tex., or Secretary John Young, 53 West Twenty-eighth street, New York. NEW YORK. The Market. January 15 the cold wave came out of the west, but prices remained steady, the only severe break being in orchids, which were selling at 25 cents each for selected stock. Boses were lower dur- ing the week, because of light demand and rain. The lower grades of roses have been most in demand and prices for these were strong, with no surplus for the bargain hunters. Prima Donna, Hadley, Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia are much in favor in millionaire row. Carnations dropped during the week to 3 cents and advanced again January 15 to 5 cents. There seemed to be an abundance of them in the market, how- ever, and lower prices are again antici- pated. Lilies hold at
