white, full but not dense flower; will 

 propagate all possible; 137, a fine light 

 pink, will be heard from later; 250, 

 white, full and free, medium size. It 

 Is no doubt good policy to grow such 

 varieties; even though they do not 

 bring as much as larger flowers, they 

 make up in quantity, and come in use- 

 ful in many ways where large flowers 

 would be wasted; besides lots ot peo- 

 ple will buy medium-sized flowers — 

 even prefer them aside from the lower 

 price, while with others, the price is a 

 consideration; 235, one of the finest, 

 style of white Enchantress; 252, light 

 pink, promising; 81, Portia-red, bright, 

 free, splendid stem, medium size; No. 

 55, Winsor shade, splendid flower, fine- 

 ly built, stem and calyx perfect. 



Mr. Fisher's treatment ot cuttings is 

 slightly different from that of most 

 growers. There is a fair amount of 

 bottom heat, with abundance of air. 

 No soft growth or damping is seen. In 

 the matter ot a propagating material, 

 a very coarse sand Is used which from 

 a casual examination would appear 

 to contain a small proportion of clay, 

 and this, I think, if not essential, Is a 

 great help. No pounding is done; 

 none appears necessary, or would not. 

 If clay is present. The cuttings are 

 watered in once and not watered af- 

 terwards. There is no rust.

BOSTON CO-OPERATIVE FLOWER 

 MARKET. 



A meeting of the stockholders and 

 stallholders of the Boston Co-operative 

 Flower Market was held at the Quincy 

 House, Wednesday evening, February 

 12th, to hear the report of the direc- 

 tors as to progress made towards con- 

 solidating wita the Boston Hower Ex- 

 change, Inc.. and going with that or- 

 ganization jointly into the new market 

 in Wlnthrop square. It was a very 

 earnest meeting, there being about 

 sixty gentlemen present and the 

 serious proposition which has been 

 before the members for a long 

 time was carefully debated from 

 all sides. The four-years' lease of 

 the salesrooms now occupied on 

 Park street and other drawbacks were 

 deemed sufficient to make the pro- 

 posed removal injudicious and it was 

 finally decided by a unanimous vote 

 to abandon the idea of consolidation 

 and to continue business at the old 

 stand. It is proper to state here that 

 no ill-feeling towards the rival market 

 was in evidence and the decision
