SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS 

 AND ORNAMENTAL HORTI- 

 CULTURISTS. 



Report of E. L. Pierce, State Vice-presi- 

 dent for Massachusetts, East. 



It is with pleasure that I present 

 herewith a brief report of horticultural 

 progress in Eastern Massachusetts dur- 

 ing the past year. 



From my various sources of In- 

 formation and CGmjjarison I cannot re- 

 port trade conditions as favorable or 

 as prosperous as in the previous year. 



While on the whole the past year 

 may be considered an average one, the 

 severity of the past winter and the 

 lack of sunshine during the early 

 spring has had a material effect on the 

 volume of business transacted. 



The tightness of the money market 

 the past year has also affected the re- 

 tailer as well as the commercial 

 grower, and both have experienced 

 some very slow collections, which is a 

 decided handicap in the conducting of 

 any business. 



Easter coming so early found many 

 of the growers with their stock not 

 ready for market while those fortunate 

 enough to have their blooms ready were 

 able toi realize good prices. Not only 

 the early date of Easter, but the pre- 

 ceding weeks of cloudy weather had 

 a decided effect on the quality as well 

 as the quantity of marketable stock. 



The season for pot-plants and bed- 

 ding stock was a most backward one, 

 although I believe more than an aver- 

 age local crop was grown and in most 

 cases satisfactory prices realized. 



The seed trade, as reported by sev- 

 eral of the leading merchants, has been 

 up to former years, although the sea- 

 son has been a long-drawn-out one. 

 The season for this class of goods 

 opened as usual, but the bulk of the 

 business was done fully a month later 

 than in previous years. 



In perennials and shrubbery the 

 trade report a decided increase. 



The season has seen some changes 

 in the ownership and management of 

 several establishments and one or two 

 new commercial places have made a 

 start in a small way. 



An average amount of new glass has 

 been erected in Eastern Massachusetts, 

 and many of the older establishments 

 have been put in modern condition, 

 both on commercial places and private 

 estates, but there has been no par- 

 ticular boom in this line. 



I am justly proud of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Boston, which 

 now has a membership of over 350, and 

 today is one of the foremost clubs of 

 its kind in the United States. 



I would especially mention the good 

 work this club is doing in the way of 

 promoting harmony and good fellow- 

 ship among its members, as well as 

 the valuable information and knowl- 

 edge obtained by attending its meet- 

 ings. 



The classes In landscape gardening 

 instituted by the club may be mention- 

 ed as one of the many opportunities 

 offered its members. 



The outlook in nearly all lines of 

 business at this time is less favorable 

 than a year ago, but the prospect for 

 an average year for the florists Is par- 

 ticularly bright.
