.in Florida. His carnations are in grand 

 Condition now, especially Peerless Pink, 

 Pink Delight, Matchless and Ward. He 

 also has good sweet peas and snap- 

 dragons. 



! The Rawson Conservatories, of Arling- 

 ton, sent in 20,000 carnations Christmas 

 yveeii. They also had a fine lot of poin- 

 settias in pans, begonias, primulas and 

 azaleas. 



Bachelor's buttons have become quite 

 a feature in the Boston market this win- 

 ter. I have not seen finer flowers than 

 those sent in December 23 by Lewis 

 Smith, of Tewksbury, on 16-inch stems, 

 which created a sensation. 



The finest rose-pink carnation coming 

 into the Boston wholesale market this 

 season is the new Albert Roper, from 

 the Roper Estate, Tewksbury. This is 

 destined to displace all others of its 

 color. It is to be sent out the coming 

 season and many tliousands have al- 

 ready been ordered. 



The Welch Bros. Co. did a tremendous 

 Christmas business. Mr. Reynolds, one 

 of- the firm, says all hands had to work 

 until midnight for a number of days be- 

 fore Christmas, and the way orders 

 poured in was an eye-opener. 



Paine Bros., of Randolph, had 4,000 

 Golden Spur narcissi for the holidays 

 out of a batch of 5,000 planted. 



Kidder Bros, had a superb lot of sin- 

 gle violets for the holidays. Their flow- 

 ers are always beautifully bunched. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, January 16, will be 

 ladies' night. Officers will be installed 

 and there will be an entertainment and 

 oollation, followed by dancing. 



The Newtonville Greenhouses, R. C. 

 Bridgham, proprietor, had a grand lot 

 of roses, carnations and other bench 

 erops, in addition to pot plants, for the 

 holiday trade, and did a record business. 



S. J. Goddard's mixed bunches of car- 

 nations were a feature of the Boston 

 market. Such carnations, of the highest 

 <]uality, readily made $15 per hundred 

 and included such fine varieties as 

 Laddie, Rosalia, Doris, Nancy and some 

 of the older sorts. 



At Penn's the volume of Christmas 

 trade was tremendous, the store being 

 crowded uncomfortably for two or three 

 days prior to the holiday. Sales were a 

 long way ahead of all previous records. 



A vase of White Maud Dean chrysan- 

 themums sent by C. T. Guenther, of 

 Hamburg, N. Y., arrived too late for the

The Market. 



The outlook in cut flowers was en- 

 couraging all last week, even up to the 

 evening of December 22. Prices were 

 reasonable all along the line and, could 

 they have been held at this level, there 

 is no doubt everything would have been 

 sold. But the growers had been edu- 

 »^ated up to unnatural expectations; com- 

 petition for their product has been keen 

 and an attempt to advance prices De-
