12 degrees below zero, made the 

 bins groan. After a period of excessive- 

 ly cloudy (lays we got two remarkably 

 sunshiny ones and so strong was the 

 contrast that the pink varieties of car- 

 nations faded and strealipd poreeplibly,

 seem to be in greatest demand and are 

 consequently scarcest; same in roses, 

 white cannot be had for love nor money.

 flowers ill large supply are bulbs aivd 

 violets. .Speaking of violets, the past 

 winter has shown tlie value of the Im- 

 perial over Marie Ixiuise and Farquhar. 

 It is the same color, requires the same 

 treatment exactly, yet it is of a stronger, 

 sturdier gr(-i\vlli," can stand move hard- 



<lark variety giown. 



Prices of flower.'i remain the same ex- 

 cept in roses which are $1..50 per dozen 

 as a rule, rather than $1 : carnations, 

 35 to 50 cents per dozen: lilies, $2 per 

 dozen: Beauties, $:! to $5 per dozen, 

 while violets range from 15 to 20 cents 

 per dozen. 



There has been a lull in the interest 

 taken in' the Baltimore meeting, hardly 

 time to think of it, and it looks now 

 as if but two would tear themselves 

 away and attend. Geo. V. ('ral)l) ami

 Ilanila and Chadwick will likely remain

'I'Ik- fourth annual ball of the Moii- 

 iiaiiith t'ountv Horticultural Socictv was 

 lield in Bed .Mer/s Hall, Oceanic, X. .(., 

 Friday, Feb. 15. 



Rob. Beaty lead the grand march at 

 D:30, in which ninety-two couples took 

 part. The society's ball is always one 

 of the great events of the season but 

 this year's beat the record of any held 

 in this vicinity. The upper twenty-five 

 of Oceanic and surroundings were repre- 

 sented. At 12 o'clock 200 sat down to 

 supper. Hugh Birch did the comical act 

 to perfection' as usual ; and when the 

 band played "Home, Sweet Home," every 

 one eould find his home without a lan- 

 tern. B.
