The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Janlaki- ao, 1898. 



CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



Nephrolepis Bontonieiisis hail a phe- 

 nomenal sale at Christinas. Fred C. 

 Becker sold right out and could have sold 

 hundreds more. He has planted up for 

 next season. W. E. Dolye disposed of an 

 immense imniber at retail, also a/aleas. 



I noticed some fine lilacs in bloom. Mr. 

 Murphy told me he could have had Le- 

 graye in at Christinas had he desired. He 

 is putting in continuous batches until 

 Easter. Alme. Legraye produces consid- 

 erable foliage with the flowers, which 

 makes it more desirable. It is more 

 fragrant than Charles X. 



Clerodendron Balfouri is grown in 

 considerable number; trained on bal- 

 loons, and in full flower it is an attractive 

 plant. 



P. O'Brien & Son were well pleased 

 with holiday trade. Houghton & Clark 

 echoed this sentiment; in fact, I found 

 but one gentleman in the City of Beans 

 who objected to the Christmas rush. He 

 said the crush turned away one's regular 

 customers, who were then forced to go 

 elsewhere. Maybe they went to Hough- 

 ton & Clark, who noticed a host of new 

 buyers. 



James Delay and W. E. Doyle had a 

 big rush; Galvin at both stores, especially 

 at the Back Ba)-. Everybody was rushed 

 and stock cleaned out. \V. M.

The cold snap was the only drawback 

 to a grand holiday business. D. A. Spear 

 had a fine stock and cleaned right out. 

 John Coombs had a great run on violets, 

 of which he has a fine house of Marie 

 Louise. Bulbous stock is coming in well. 



.\. N. Pierson is sending in some well 

 grown stock, especially roses and carna- 

 tions. I understand Mr. Pierson has been 

 in Maine nearh- all winter, where with a 

 party of refiners he is engaged in a pro- 

 cess of extracting gold from salt water 

 (fact). Latest reports are quite encourag- 

 ing. Mr. Pierson's brother is in charge 

 of the business during his absence. 



I met W. J. Boaz, the pushing repre- 

 sentative of Edwards & Docker. He re- 

 ports an unusual demand for folding 

 boxes which augurs well for a good 

 season, W. I\I.
