The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBER 23, 1899. 



BOSTON. 



The situation here can be summed 

 up very deftly in a few words: "Too 

 many goods" tells the whole story, ex- 

 cept the chapter on violets, which 

 should read just the reverse. But the 

 chrysanthemum condition, however, is 

 not so badly off, growers selling up 

 fairly clean at respectable figures, say 

 from $1 to $1.50 for good ones in dif- 

 ferent colors. Average qualities in 

 carnations have been talking $1, with 

 many more sold at less than for more 

 than that figure. Roses? Lots of them. 

 A few of the finest. Ordinary kinds 

 tipping $1.50 per dozen, but most of 

 them selling by the hundred at from 

 $1 to $6. Red ones plentiful enough 

 until the latter end of the week, when 

 the big football game kicked up the 

 prices on blue and crimson. 



Your correspondent has no time to 

 forage around after news and but little 

 floats his way, the only item worth 

 chronicling this week being the report- 

 ed sale of rafts of Lawson pink plants, 

 125,000 being the sum total to date. Of 

 this pretty sounding figure, Dailledouze 

 Bros, are said to have contracted for 

 20,000 and Robert Craig & Son, of 

 Philadelphia, for 16,000. How long will 

 Boston continue to be the "home of 

 this child of the florist's art?"
