The Weekly Florists' Review*

BOSTON. 



The Market. 



This week's business has not been 

 up to the standard ol the past few 

 weelfs, although there is still a good 

 demand for the best grade of flowers, 

 but as is usual at this season with 

 longer days, and a more even tem- 

 perature, the quantity of cut flowers 

 is bound to increase, and with the 

 necessary increase of work quality 

 will to some extent deteriorate. 



Carnations seem to be a leader, the 

 fakirs being able novi' to sell every 

 day. Average stock will bring from 

 $1.50 to $2.00 per 100 with extra to 

 fancy quality selling from $3.00 to 

 $6.00. Roses are a trifle lower, and 

 can be had for from $2.00 to $8.00 per 

 100 with a few strictly high grades 

 bringing $2.00 per dozen. Violets av- 

 erage about 50c, although quite a lot 

 are sold daily at 35 cents; valley 

 plenty from $2.00 to $4.00; tulips, nar- 

 cissus, hyacinths, etc., from $2.00 to 

 $3.00. Harrisii have increased very 

 perceptibly in quantity and are now 

 quotable at from $1.00 to $1.50 per 

 dozen; callas $1.00 per dozen. 



Quite a few Jacqueminot and Brun- 

 ner roses are now being brought in 

 price ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per 

 dozen. 



The News. 



The Horticultural Society is con- 

 templating selling its present building 

 . and securing land at the corner of 

 Boyleston and Exeter streets putting 

 up an elegant new structure in the 

 near future. 



Boston seems to have a faculty for 

 originating high priced flowers and 

 the retailers obtain considerable 

 newspaper notoriety. This time it is 

 Wax Bros., with a $5,000 offer for the 

 new Imperial violet. 



The city fathers have decided that 

 the English sparrow is a nuisance, and 

 are going to exterminate them. W. J. 

 Kennedy, formerly manager of the 

 Boston Flower Market, and now a city 

 employe, has the matter In charge.

Simplicity in Greenhouse Construction. 



During our long experience we have not only made many improve- 

 ments in greenhouses, but we have so simplified the construction that 

 building a greenhouse is no longer a matter so full of complications as 

 to tax the patience and the ingenuity of even the most intelligent 

 mechanic. Our 



Clear Cypress Building Material 



is worked out in the best manner ready to be put up, and we furnish our 

 customers such complete detail drawings that any workman of only ordi- 

 nary capabilities can put it up correctly.
