been greatly in excess of what the 

 market could absorb. This was es- 

 pecially the case with peonies of 

 which the supply was ten times the 

 demand. Of course this redundance in 

 the peony had a more or less depres- 

 sing effect on all other lines. In the 

 rose market Beauties and Hadley sell 

 best. Other roses are very sluggish. 

 Carnations are much more plentiful 

 and prices have dropped consider- 

 ably. There is a fair cut of orchids 

 and the call for them is excellent. 

 Cattleyas are especially good and 

 come in very nicely for the June 

 girl requirements, along with red 

 roses. The delphinium and the glad- 

 iolus continue in good supply and of 

 excellent quality with the demand 

 very good, all things considered. 

 Coreopsis has made its appearance 

 and will no doubt find some sale 

 while the novelty lasts. 



The prices, supply 

 PITTSBURGH and demands for 

 cut flowers are con- 

 sidered fair for this season all around 

 since Decoration Day. There are 

 plenty of carnations and peonies, al- 

 though at time of writing there is not 

 an over supply of roses. Of the latter, 

 the long-stemmed grades predomi- 

 nate, although the shot-stemmed flow- 

 ers are now coming in better than for 

 some time. 



An abundance of 

 PROVIDENCE, stock at very mod- 

 R. I. erate prices domi- 



nates the market 

 conditions here at present. The re- 

 tailers report much trading and no 

 complaints are made because of poor 

 business. With the usual number of 

 weddings and the summer graduation 

 of schools and other institutions at 

 hand the florists here predict that the 

 present month will be exceptionally 

 busy. White orcliids were a prohibi- 

 tive flower last week. Failing to gel 

 any of this stock from the leading 

 growers in New England and New 

 York, it became necessary to purchase 

 in the Boston retail market. 



Wliile Memorial Day 

 ST. LOUIS business was not as 

 good as the year pre- 

 vious everybody is satisfied, but they 

 say that more business could have 

 been done had it not been for the 

 boosting of prices by the wholesalers 

 for tills day. On the night after the 

 bottom dropped out again. Retailers 

 found that the public would not 

 stand for tlie sudden rise in price. 

 They bought heavy in the plant line. 

 The market had been crowded up all 

 week with good stock and low prices 

 except on Memorial Day. Roses, car- 

 nations, sweet peas, cape jessamine, 

 peonies and a lot of outdoor stock are 

 in abundance and trade somewhat 

 slow.

 are booked to participate in the "pre- 

 paredness" parade which will take 

 place on Wednesday. .Iune 14. An- 

 other matter in which the trade and 

 the Florists' Club especially are 

 actively promoting is that of the pre- 

 sentation of bouquets to the school 

 gxaduates, one bouquet to acompany 

 each diploma. Thos. Tracey is chair- 

 man of a committee to wait upon the 

 Board of Education to urge favorable 

 action on this proposition. 



A NEW WHOLESALE FLOWER 

 HOUSE. 



David Welch and Edward J. Welch 

 announce that they have severed con- 

 nection with the corporation of Welch 

 Bros. Co. and have opened their whole- 

 sale flower market at 280 Devonshire 

 street, Boston, under the title of 

 Welch's. It is hardly necessary tor us 

 to say here that Horticultuke 

 wishes Messrs. David and E. J. Welch 

 abundant success in their new enter- 

 lirise. Their whole business life has 

 been spent in the wholesale flower and 

 supply trade and their record is one 

 of industry and integrity. The new 

 headquarters which they have ac- 

 quired is admirably adapted for their 



purpose, located right in the flower 

 market district and a complete equip- 

 ment has been put in which meets 

 every I'eqiiirement for the reception, 

 care and shipment of stock. 



Taunton, Mass. — V. B. Olson has 

 jiurchased K. F. Rose's greenhouses at 

 20 Ray street and will take possession
