The Weekly Florists' Review. 



BOSTON. 



Review of the Market. 



This week has been another of thosi- 

 disagreeable wet ones, with heavy 

 showers almost daily, completely shut- 

 ting off the .supply of outdoor flowers, 

 with perhaps the exception of asters, 

 which owing to the scarcity of other 

 stuff, are selling very well, esptiially 

 white ones. What few of Semple's and 

 the Giant Comet that are shown are 

 taken quickly at $1 per 10<). while Vic- 

 toria whites sell for 50 cents; colors, 

 35 cents per 100. 



Good roijps are not plenty and Kais- 

 erins and Meteors easily bring $S per 

 hundred, while the small Maids and 

 Brules sell from $2 to .f4. although thf 

 quality is improving a little. Beauties 

 are almost completely out of the mar- 

 ket and can't be found at any price. 

 Out of door carnations have the call 

 now and are eagerly sought after at 

 ll.r.O per hundred. The supply is lim- 

 ited and confined mostly to the variety 

 Mrs. Fisher. 



Speciosum lilies began to come in 

 his week and easily bring 4 cents cut 

 off of the stalk. All kinds of white 

 flowers sell well, the demand being for 

 funeral work. Valley is $4 per 100. 

 but rather quiet. Sweet peas are done 

 tor the present, owing to the wet 

 weather; tuberoses and Gladioli quiet 

 at $4 per hundred; white feverfew, 

 candy tuft, etc., bring about 2.5 cents 

 per bunch. 



News Itims. 



A severe hail storm occurred on Fri- 

 day and did some damage to plants out 

 of doors, but have not heard of any 

 glass being broken. 



Fred C. Becker, of Cambridge, had 

 some of his 2-inch rubbers spoilt by 

 the hail. 



E. N. Pierce & Son, of Waverly, are 

 erecting a short span to the south 

 house 300 feet long by 24 feet wide. 



E. B. Beals and wife, of Greenfield, 

 were in town the past week. 



N. F. McCarthy has returned from 

 his sporting trip. 



G. Young, from Philadelphia, spent 

 a few hours here on Friday, looking 

 over the system of the co-operative 

 market. 



Florist Harmon, from Portland, Me., 

 was here on Saturday looking for 

 stock. 



There is quite a lot of complaint 

 about out of door carnations, the wet 

 weather retarding the growth and in 

 some cases causing quite a lot of loss 

 by stem rot. p.
