Ophelia, Russell, Hadley, Stanley and 

 Sunburst also hold up well. Carnations 

 have declined in sympathy with other 

 flowers. Violets, with the nearness of 

 Valentine's day, took on a brace. Sweet 

 peas are abundant. Fancy stock brings 

 $2; such stock is carried on 18-inch to 

 20-inch stems. Short stock makes only 

 one-fourth of these prices. 



Mignonette is more plentiful and sells 

 from $3 per hundred upward. Marguer- 

 ites are more abundant, but sell out 

 easily. The demand for these from New 

 York and other cities is good; also for 

 bachelor's buttons. Dutch bulbous stock 

 is in heavy supply and lias taken a de- 

 cided slump. Golden Spurs, which a 

 week ago made $4 to $j per liundrcd, 

 now arc sold at $1.50 to $2, and tulips 

 have made a similar decline. Paper 

 ■\yiiitcs, Romans and lilies are weak, 

 l.ily of the valley was in good demand 

 for St. Valentine 's day. Cattlcyas drag 

 a good deal, but gardenias show an im- 

 provement. Asparagus moves better 

 with the passing of stevia. 



The Anniversary Banquet. 



The banquet at Horticultural liall to 

 celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of 

 ]?oston ])roved to be a great success. 

 Tlie attendance was 275. The stage and 

 tables were beautifully decorated with 

 choice plants and cut iflowers. For two 

 ])revious years the banquet had been 

 held at the A^ew American House, but 

 the desire to come back to the hall, with 

 its less cramped quarters, found almost 

 unanimous approval. President Meth- 

 ^•en, who had just recovered from an at- 

 tack of the grip, introduced A. P. Caldcr 

 as toastmaster, and Mr. Calder lived up 

 to liis reputation of a silver-tongued 

 orator in every way. R. M. Saltonstall, 

 ])resident of the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society, spoke on the work of that 

 .society, now 88 years old, specially em- 

 ])hasizing the desirability that all gar- 

 deners and florists support tlie big 

 March and June exhibitions. He was 

 enthusiastically applauded. 



William .T. Stewart, the founder of the 

 club and its first i)resident, spoke in- 

 terestingly of some of the early work 

 of the club and mentioned the reasons 

 for its lirst coming into existence. A. 

 K. Rogers, vice-jiresident, thanked 

 everyone for their generous support in 

 helping to make the ))anquet so decided 

 a success. \V. N. Craig spoke of the de- 

 sirability of sup])orting the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society; also of tho
