The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBER 24, 1898. 



BOSTON. 



Review of the Market. 



The first part of the week, with 

 bright, sunny days, showed signs of 

 an improved market, but from Wed- 

 nesday the weather has been against 

 it, and both retailers and wholesalers 

 are still finding fault. A little good, 

 snapping cold weather is what we 

 need. There is no let up as yet on 

 chrysanthemums, and some elegant 

 blooms of Wannamaker, Bonnaffon 

 and Rieman are now coming in, with 

 poorer grades of Ivories, etc.; prices 

 ranging from 35 cents to $1.50 per 

 dozen, with few sales of fancy stock 

 at an advance over these. The weather 

 has shortened up the rose supply, 

 with prices running about the same 

 as last week. Carnations still feel 

 the influence of mums and go slow, 

 averaging from 50 cents to $2.00 per 

 hundred, according to varieties and 

 quality. Violets are in better quality 

 and a trifle higher, 75 cents to $1.03 

 being obtained. Valley still at $4.00. 

 Stevia serrata, but of rather soft 

 growth, is showing in the market, put 

 up in 25-cent bunches. 



News Items. 



The Brockton Florists' Club gave a 

 verj' successful exhibition on Novem- 

 ber 16 and 17 at a public hall in the 

 city of Brockton, and exhibits o 

 mums were made by Farquhar Mac- 

 rae, of Providence, R. I.; Mann 

 Bros., of Randolph, and others, while 

 carnations were from such well 

 known growers as Thos. Greaves, 

 Mann Bros., Duly Bros, and B. L. 

 Clark. The prizes offered were nu- 

 merous, and with close competition. 

 The club is to be congratulated on the 

 success of its first chrysanthemum 

 show. 



Chas. Langhahar, for several years 

 a successful retail florist, doing busi- 

 ness on Broadway, South Boston, died 

 at the city hospital last week of a 

 cancer. 



A new firm. McGeary & Doherty, 

 have started in the retail business at 

 833 Washington street. 



Thomas F. Galvin will give free 

 exhibitions of chrysanthemums daily 

 during the coming week at his 

 Boylston street conservatories. 



The employes of the old estab- 

 lished firm of Joseph Breck & Sons, 

 seedsmen, held their third annual re- 

 union on Friday evening, November 

 18. P. 



NEW GERANIUM. 



Mr. N. Greivelding, Merrill, Wis., 

 sends us flowers of a seedling gera- 

 nium that are certainly very striking. 

 He says it is a cross between Souv. de 

 Mirande and a red sort. The Mirande 

 blood is very apparent, but It is a 

 much more striking flowjr than the 

 parent. We are very favorably im- 

 pressed with them.
