 ally speaking. The Florists' Club will

 meeting on February 11. Any one hav- 

 ing new carnations to show will please 

 note this. John H. Taylor, of Bayside, 

 L. I., will speak at the above meeting on 

 his experiences with "Carnations dissem- 

 inated in 1900." This will surely be a 

 great night at the club. 



The New York Gardeners' Society will 

 hold a carnation show on Saturday even- 

 ing, Feb. 9, at 47 West Forty-second 

 St. Prizes will be oflTercd for new car- 

 nations of every color, and the products 

 of the leading private gardeners will be 

 shown at this meeting. Commercial 

 growers wishing to send their novelties 

 will find this a good opportunity to show 

 them to advantage. 



The American Institute will hold a 

 flower, fruit and vegetable show on 

 February 13 and 14, at the Berkeley 

 Lyceum," 19 West Forty-fourth St. 



The New Jersey Floricultural Society 

 will have a flower show at their annual 

 dinner, which will take place at Lindley

CLOVER SEED. 



Under date of Jan. 26, C. A. King & 

 Co., Toledo, 0., say: 



Clover seed has improved a trifle the past 

 week. Movement has been smaller, both in 

 and out. Domestic buyers have hesitated a 

 little, as they will not need the seed until 

 later, when they hope to secure it cheaper. 

 It will require larger receipts to help them 



the slock here. They talk seven dollar 

 for their old prime. They have plenty o 

 money and are patient waiters. 



Stock here now is a trifle less than th 

 amount carried over from last season. N 

 official report is made of it. Majority 



■re will aggregate fully 50,- 

 000 bags. Last season they were 73,000 bags, 

 against 6,".000 the year before; 64,000 *- -" 



Receipts today 193 bags, making 1,073 for 

 the week, against 2,095 year ago. Total this 

 season to date 52,700 bags, against 109,800 year 

 afeo; 5S.000 two years ago: 149.000 three years 

 ago; 49,000 four years ago, and 108,000 in 1894. 



Shipments today were fair. They were 672 

 bags, making 4.053 for the week, against 

 5,416 a year ago. Total this season to 

 date, 55.000 bags, against 91,900 a year
