FLOWER MARKET URGED
Merchants Want It in Union
Square and 18th Street.

Alderman Curran has consented TO In
troduce in the Board OF Aldermen an
ordinance providing for a. public flower
market in Union Square East. near nth
street. IL is planned to have the market
under the control of the Bureau of Mar
kcts OF the Finance Department. The
Central Mercantile Association, which Is
back Of the plan, says that Sydney Good
acre. Superintendent OF Markets, is IN ia
vor of the plan.
AS you probably know" declared the
association, writing to Alderman Curran,
New York does not possess a sufficiently
appropriate flower market at any point.
although II is generally admitted that
such n market should be established at
location which would be convenient to
the public. All OF the larger cities OF
Europe. such as London. Paris, Berlin
and others. have beautiful, flower mar
kets, which are the admiration OF every
one who happens To see them.
THE establishment OF flower market
at the point we suggest Is highly ap-
proved by Commissioner Slower of the
Park Department. The three flower and
plant growers associations OF New York,
which comprise practically every grower
in New York and vicinity. have also in
dorsed the plan and have appointed COM
mittees 10 work with US in the matter
