The Weekly Florists^ Review.

BOSTON. 



Review of the Market. 



The past week has been very cold 

 and backward, having a tendency to 

 keep stock short, so that there has 

 i-eally been no great surplus, with a 

 fair dematid. considering the weather. 



Roses of the common kinds are plen- 

 tiful at prices ranging from >f4 to $Hi 

 per hundred, while red roses of good 

 quality are scarce and sell readily at 

 anywhere from $l.T>t> to $4.(MJ per 

 dozen. 



Carnations are still inclined to be 

 extremely short, and are bringing 

 from ^L.'id for Mrs. Fisher to .^."..(M* for 

 Bradt and Flora Hill. The cool 

 weather has improved the quality of 

 violets, which are going fairly well at 

 "idc per hundred. 



Sweet peas are plentiful at JI.L'.'i per 

 hundred. Lilies a drug at .*;;.(H» to 



$4.(M). 



News Items. 



The famous Francis B. Hayes place 

 at Lexington is now a thing of the 

 past and the regular contributions to 

 the many shows of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society will be verv 

 much missed. The tine specimen foli- 

 age and flowering plants, for years the 

 pride of Gardener Coniley. were sold 

 at auction on Saturday, April ;i(), by 

 the well known auctioneer, Edward 

 H. Hatch. The trade from this vicin- 

 ity was well represented at the sale. 



George Mullen, who up to a few 

 weeks ago was doing business on Park 

 street, is reported to have disappeared, 

 and his whereabouts are unknown. A 

 meeting of his creditoj-s is called at 

 the flower market during this week. 



George Seaverns. a florist of Weston, 

 has gone to the Klondyke. 



Wm. McTier. a New Jersey florist, is 

 erecting a new commercial house at 

 Wollaston. 



Thomas H. Meade, a well known 

 rose grower of Dorchester, is the new 

 manager and editor of the N. E Flor- 

 ist. 



James M. Touhy. for several years 

 with his brother, P. J. Touhy. of South 

 Boston, has opened a store in Maverick 

 square. East Boston. 



The annual banquet of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, will take place 

 at Horticultural Hall Tuesday evening 

 May o(». 



The great interest in the Hayes auc- 

 tion prevented most of the exhibitors 

 from taking part in the weekly horti- 

 cultural exhibition. The only things 

 of consequence shown were a few 

 flowering plants and vegetables. 



For visitors, we have had Mr. Wini- 

 fred Rolker, of New York, and a few 

 of our Holland friends, including P. 

 N. Koster and J. Blaauw, now on their 

 way home. 



Mr. Peter Barr. a well known seeds- 

 man from London. Eng., has been do- 

 ing the "Hub" this week. P.
