THE NEW YORK
FLOWER MARKET.
Quaint Reminder of Rural Beauty of the Great
Dusty City

People who find little to admire in the
noise and dust of New York life are en-
thusiastic in their words of praise for
the New York flower market, which is
held in Union Square, right in the heart
of the busiest part of New York City,
from June to September.
New York City is so far away from
the country that the country must come
to it. New Workers must cross a river
and travel for miles to reach the flow
cry suburb, and for that reason, if for
no other, the floral industry thrives bet
ter in New York than that of all the
other cities put together. 1t has been
shown that New York sells more spring
violets, more Easter lilies, more pansles
and more Towering bulbs than are
grown in the nurseries of Philadelphia
and Chicago combined 1t sells more

The Paris Exposition is to open on

This will allow about five months, in
which 100000 will have to be carried

that the increase will be of such a tenn
