The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 22, 1S99. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



The past week has been a repetition 

 of the last few, and the usual sum- 

 mer dullness, with quantities of stuff, 

 low prices and myriads of fakirs, has 

 been the result. Among the retailers 

 the trade has been confined to funeral 

 and wedding orders, with quite a little 

 steamer trade; this takes the better 

 grade of flowers, leaving quantities of 

 poorer grades for street selling. Roses 

 are now, especially the run of Brides 

 and Maids, very small, and sell slowly 

 at from $2 to $5 per 100; Kaiserins are 

 yet rather scarce, good quality will 

 easily bring from $6 to $10 per 100; 

 Meteors are poor, $4 to $6 being a quo- 

 tation. McCarthy is, however, receiv- 

 ing a limited quantity from A. N. Pier- 

 son, of Cromwell, Conn., which easily 

 bring $10. There is no change in the 

 quotation of Beauties; first class stock 

 rather scarce. 



Carnations are brought in daily by 

 the wagon load and it is a conundrum 

 where so many disappear. They are 

 quotable from 35 to 75 cents per 100; 

 a few fancies bringing $1.50 and $2. 



Valley from outside is about done, 

 which will probably bring up the 

 price to $4 per 100 next week; the 

 prevailing price has been $2. Lilies 

 of all kinds are out of the market; 

 paeonies plenty, averaging about $2 

 per 100; plenty of spiraea, feverfew, 

 etc., which are unquotable, but go to 

 make up a variety. 



The News. 



The plant trade this season is about 

 done and everybody seems well satis- 

 fied. There has been an unexception- 

 al call for hydrangeas of large sizes. 



J. Galvin, doing business as Galvin 

 & Co., wholesale florists, has been 

 petitioned into bankruptcy. 



The coming rose and strawberry 

 show bids fair to excel all former ex- 

 hibitions; it is to be held on June 22 

 and 23. p. 



ORCHID COLLECTING. 



will some kind reader of The Flor- 

 ists' Review please tell me of some 

 book published on an orchid collec- 

 tor's life in the wild country. 



G. L. E. 



There is a book published by a Mr. 

 Millican called "Adventures of an Or- 

 chid Hunter." It was published in 

 England a few years ago but we have 

 no idea where the book can be obtain- 

 ed. L. & H. 



[It could probably be obtained 

 through some of the New York book 

 importing houses. — Ed.]
