weather. Carnations of good quality 

 are more plentiful and cheaper. Vio- 

 lets are about the same and find a ready 

 sale. Sweet peas are cheaper and of 

 better quality. The price of roses has 

 not changed much, though the flowers 

 are more plentiful. Good Golden Spurs 

 now are to be had as low as 3 cents. 

 Freesias and marguerites are in good 

 crop. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Eusitsky is having a new and 

 aauch larger refrigerator built to suit 

 his requirements. This will add much 

 to his attractive store. 



The announcement has been made of 

 the engagement of William M. Post to 

 Miss Millie Terwilliger, of New York. 



H. V. Soule was busy last week with 

 a number of wedding decorations. 



Joseph V. Pierce & Co. report an in- 

 creasing crop of roses. The dark 

 weather of the last few weeks has made 

 the crop short, but with a few days of 

 sunshine there is a marked improve- 

 ment. 



Frank L. Gray spent January 29 and 

 30 at Lynn and at Attleboro. 



S. E. Shaw intends to plant one of 

 his large houses to cucumbers in the 

 near future. He now has sweet peas 

 in the house. W. M. P.

The Market. 



Last week was phenomenal; 68 de- 

 grees in the shade was recorded Janu- 

 ary 27, but January 30, fortunately, 

 seasonable weather returned. 



Notwithstanding McKinley day and 

 the dozens of graduation exercises, in 

 which quantities of flowers were used, 

 there was seemingly a great abundance 

 of stock, of carnations especially, and 

 prices were shaded considerably as the 

 week ended. Eoses of all kinds have 

 held up well, but they commenced their 

 usual recession at the close of last week, 

 as shipments are increasing rapidly. 

 American Beauties have been scarce and 

 prices high. At least, 75 cents and over 

 seems high to those who have to demand 

 $18 to $24 per dozen at retail. A few 

 Hadley sold at 50 cents each last week, 

 and several of the novelties held the 

 level of the month. The lower grades 

 of all roses were rapidly absorbed. 



There has been no encouragement for
