MIDDLETOWN, CONN. 



Trade continues good, with a fair 

 supply of all seasonable plants and 

 flowers, except carnations, which are 

 scarce and sell from 35 to 50 cents a 

 dozen. Roses are not selling very 

 well. Violets are plentiful and are 

 quoted at 20 and 25 cents a dozen. 



Funeral work has been in great de- 

 mand this last week, thus using up all 

 surplus flowers. 



A. N. Pierson, the Cromwell florist, 

 is building a range of eight new green- 

 houses and reports a scarcity in flow- 

 ers of all kinds, especially roses.

WESTFIELD, N. J. 



Andrew Jepson reports that his 

 Easter lilies are the best he has had 

 in several years. His roses and car- 

 nations have been very satisfactory 

 this winter, but his violets were a 

 failure. He says that be did not get 

 a thousand good plants out of three 

 houses 20x100 feet. 



Charles Doerer has had very good 

 success with his roses, carnations and 

 violets. In fact, business has been 

 very good with him in general. R. 



A DOUBLE ALLAMANDA. 



Messrs. Lambert Bro.i.. Atlanta, Ga., 

 sent us a photograph of a semi-double- 

 flowered Allamanda that originated 

 with them. They advise us that it is 

 a sport from Williamsii and that the 

 flower is as large, fragrant and beau- 

 tiful as the parent, while it is much 

 more durable as a cut flower. The 

 central petals hide the bronze or car- 

 mine throat, making the whole flower 

 a clear lemon yellow. 



Messrs. Lambert write that they 

 also have a pure white hioiscus. 



CHANGE IN DATE. 



The public .sale of real estate, 

 greenhouses and florist's business of 

 Mr. W. R. Shelmire, at Avondale, Pa., 

 will take place Thursday, Feb. 9th, 

 instead of Feb. 16th, as previously an- 

 nounced.
