Trade and Personal Notes. 



Last week was among the dullest on 

 record, this being due to the abundance 

 of outside stuflf and the excessive heat. 

 There was little demand for flowers for 

 funerals, weddings or social affairs. On 

 Saturday some of the stores say things 

 brightened up considerably, but today 

 (May 26) the heat is oppressive again, 

 after a good shower yesterday, and dull- 

 ness is general. 



PfEonies and outdoor roses monopolize 

 the market and the windows and streets 

 are full of them. Some of the newer 

 varieties of pa;onies in the stores of the 

 Charles street florists attract deserved 

 attention, their color, size and contrasts 

 of shades being very effective. 



Carnations are much less in demand 

 than a week or two ago and prices are 

 declining correspondingly. Of the great 

 quantities of roses sent in only a small 

 percentage sells, many being poor in 

 quality and not a few showing the dis- 

 figuring finger marks of mildew. There 

 are still some good American Beauties 

 coming into market. Sweet peas seem 

 to have lost their favor and very Uttle 

 hardy stuff is selling through the Ex- 

 change. 



Decoration Day does not add much to 

 the volume of trade in this latitude. 

 There is so abundant a supply of out- 

 door flowers, and custom has niade their 

 giving so general, that the stores get 

 little out of the day's observance. 



Some building is in progress. John 

 Cook is putting up a new Marie Louise 

 violet house 11x1.50 feet, and is remod- 

 eling some of his old structures, com- 

 pacting them for more convenient firing, 

 a new boiler being required. 



Eiehard Vincent, Jr. & Son are about 

 building three large new houses for vege- 

 table plants. Their celery beds occupy 

 several acres. 



A wedding for June 11 has some in- 

 terest for tlie trade. Miss Kose F. Cook, 

 daughter of John Cook, marries Thomas 

 John McCormick. son of John McCor- 

 mick, both long and widely known flor- 

 ists. " j{ 



An illustration of the giant pansy 

 Mme. Perret has been sent us by Mr.
