W. W. Edgar, senior, the venerable

 ist, W. W. Edgar, of Waverly, died at

 the 10th inst, aged 82 years. 



The firm of Good & Waters, who 

 have been acting as agents for the 

 Crowl Fern Company, after a short 

 but brilliant business career, have 

 been obliged to close up. 



William McGeary, who has been 

 doing a little retail business on Tre- 

 mont street, has given it up. 



E. Sutermeaster, of Readville, 

 brought in the first Von Sions of the 

 season; they readily sold at $1 per 

 dozen. 



Welch Bros, are handling some fine 

 blooms of that beautiful white orchid, 

 Dendrobium Formosum Grandiflorum, 

 and also of other seasonable varieties, 

 and are educating our New England 

 retailers to appreciate the orchid as 

 a cut flower. 



The exhibitions of carnation and 

 other novelties which have been a 

 feature of great interest to growers 

 in this vicinity during the last two 

 years, having been held in the large 

 selling room of the Boston Co-opera- 

 tive Flower Growers' Association, and 

 under the auspices of the N. E. Flor- 

 ist, will this year be held under the 

 auspices of the Growers' Association, 

 on Saturday. February 2.5. Mr. Wm. 

 Nicholson, of Framingham. president 

 of the American Carnation Society,

 president of the Market Association, 

 and Wm.. S. Phelps, of Cohasset, are 

 the committee who have charge of 

 the arrangements. The Breck Cup 

 and the Ward Cup will again be com- 

 peted for, and the association will 

 either give prizes or certificates of 

 merit to winning exhibitors. P.

The Market. 



Prices and business remain about 

 the same as quoted last week. Spring 

 flowers, that is to say, jonquils, tulips, 

 narcissus and such flowers, are becom- 

 ing prominent in the market; there is 

 an abundance of poor Scotts, yet they 

 bring a good price, and many of the 

 special grades of carnations have the 

 appearance of a long acquaintance 

 with either icebox or cellar in country 

 or town. 



Beauties remain scarce; that is, the 

 special grades, and it's beyond com- 

 prehension how the growers spoil so 

 many of them in packing. We know 

 very poor lights are used whilst pack- 

 ing in the early morning, and also 

 that either very cheap labor or over- 

 worked men are employed to do this 

 work. If the growers would only stop 

 to consider the value of a fine Beauty 

 and how very easy it is to damage it
