BOSTON. 



The Market. 



The almost continuously rainy weath- 

 er last week proved bad for business, 

 and trade has only been moderately 

 good since the last reports, although 

 matters were a little more encouraging 

 April 24 and 26. The demand has been 

 largely for funeral work, although a 

 few weddings have helped out some- 

 what. The steamer trade of pre-war 

 times is practically dead, as few pas- 

 senger vessels have made Boston as a 



port of late years. Now that more 

 nearly normal conditions are prevailing, 

 we seem likely to get a number of 

 steamers soon, and this will help trade 

 somewhat. 



Eoses are little changed from a week 

 ago. The continuance of cool weather 

 has kept the supply down and prices, all 

 things considered, are not at all bad. 

 Carnations vary from $3 to $5 per hun- 

 dred, except Laddie, which remains 

 the leader and sells at $10 to $12 per 

 hundred. Violets are done for the sea- 

 son. Sweet peas sell well, some fancy 

 stock realizing $3 to $4, at which prices 

 the best yellow marguerites go, al- 

 though some fancies made $5 last week. 

 Daffodils are not abundant, and prices 

 hold up to $6 per hundred. 



Lilies continue in overwhelming sup- 

 ply and sell only at low and unprofitable 

 prices, $3 to $5 per hundred being av- 



erage figures. An abundance of splen- 

 did snapdragon comes in, but the de- 

 mand is poor and fancy stock worth $3 

 per dozen drags at one-third this price. 

 Pansies are nearing the end, but a good 

 supply of English primroses and poly- 

 anthus is offered. Callas are of slow 

 sale; so are forget-me-not and mignon- 

 ette. Some good Cattleya Mossiae is of- 

 fered. Valley averages $10 per hundred 

 and is of fair quality. The demand for 

 asparagus is light. 



The pot plant trade is tolerably good, 

 and baskets of pansies and forget-me- 

 nots are selling well. 



Club Meeting. 



At the last meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, April 20, there 

 was a good attendance for a partic- 

 ularly busy season. Two new members 

 were elected. It was unanimously
