The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



J.vxiAnv 9. 1002. 



BOSTON. 



Trade Conditioas for Dec. 30-Jan. 4. 



From the grower's point of view, at 

 least, the year has started off verj' grace- 

 fully. Close cutting for Christmas and 

 a mixture of cold and stormy weather 

 since has kept material a bit scarce with 

 the exception of bulb goods, and prices 

 have run fairly good; Beauties from 8 

 to 75 cents, and other reds from 4 to 

 25 cents; pink and white from 2 to 35 

 cents is not far from present schedule 

 on roses. Pinks range from li to 4 

 cents, with a few fancies at 5 or 6 cents. 

 Lilies in plenty ; bulb matter. 2 cents and 

 less if wliite; yellow hardly enough es- 

 tablished to be relied upon. Violets 

 about $1. Rather more of a variety of 

 flowers at times than is usual at this 

 time of year. Chrysanthemums hardly 

 out of the market yet. With good 

 weather flowers should be plentiful soon. 



Various Items. 



According to an article in the Boston 

 Globe certain members of the Horticul- 

 tural Society dislike the internal ar- 

 rangements of their new hall as much 

 as myself, and are not afraid to let their 

 ideas into public expression. 



Also in the same paper Samuel Par- 

 sons, for twenty years superintendent of 

 parks of New York, savagely assails the 

 condition of Boston's trees and the sys- 

 tem of care under which they are placed, 

 especially as far as pruning is concerned. 

 A note is received purporting to come 

 from Jlr. Doogue stating there is a "per 

 Bonal animus" behind it all and that he 

 will make reply to the allegations in 

 due time. Apparently all is not perfume 

 that arises from the flowers. 



There is surely honey in flowers, and 

 money in flowers surely because many 

 men have lost much in them ; but J. Jo- 

 seph Aylward of Woburn is finding pol- 

 itical favor there as well as Mr. E. N. 

 Peirce. Mr. Aylward, son of one of our 

 beat rose growers, is "prominently men- 

 tioned'' for presidency of Woburn's city 

 council. 



Mr. Peter Fisher has had blooms of his 

 new wliite carnation "Gov. Wolcott" on 

 exhibition at Park street for the past 

 few days. It surely looks like one of the 

 missing links of the business. It will 

 have to score high points to equal its 

 namesake in the aff'ections of our public.

LILACS FOR CHRISTMAS. 



Having no place averaging about 70 

 degrees in temperature to force our 

 lilacs in for Christmas, we built an en- 

 closure over the hot water boiler and 

 found that with a little care and judg- 

 ment the right temperature could be 

 maintained, and nice plants were 

 bloomed in this way. 



When sufticiently far advanced they 

 were well hardened off in a temperature 

 of 60 degrees, and at the expiration of 

 twenty days in all they were in fine 

 condition to use as pot plants or for 

 cutting from. Marie Legraye bloomed 

 well at this early date. Lemoinei went 

 partly blind. Abt.
