37 is being shown everywhere now. Peo- 

 ple are just waking up to the situation. 

 Many wealthy amateur growers are add- 

 ing their protests. To all such the Fed- 

 eral Horticultural Board is sending a 

 long typewritten statement, covering 

 several sheets, in the endeavor to justify 

 its drastic action. 



The union meetings arranged by the 

 State Department of Agriculture opened 

 auspiciously in Horticultural hall Feb- 

 ruary 11. The main hall contains a 

 splendid lot of agricultural and horti- 

 cultural exhibits and the various lec- 

 tures by prominent men are being well 

 attended. 



Practically all advertising space in 

 the club's Victory banquet souvenir 

 booklet has been taken, and tickets, 

 which are limited to 400, are going so 

 fast that late comers probably will be 

 disappointed. The date is February 26.

The Boston Floral Supply Co., which 

 is developing rapidly, has opened a city 

 display and sales room at 9 Otis street, 

 in the district frequented by florists. 

 Albert Strumph, who is well known in 

 the trade, will have charge. The fac- 

 tory, warehouse and shipping depart- 

 ments at 347-57 Cambridge street will 

 be continued as heretofore.

Carnations remain steady at $2 per 

 dozen, with not nearly enough to go 

 around. Sweet peas are selling at from 

 $3 to $5 per hundred, double violets at 

 $5 per hundred. The first jonquils ap- 

 peared last week and sold readily for $2 

 per dozen, Paper Whites at $2 per dozen 

 and orchids from $1.50 to $2 each. A 

 good many carnations are being shipped 

 in, but no orders are filled in full. All 

 the florists are compelled to resort to 

 wax and prepared flowers. Cyclamens 

 are plentiful and sell well, both as a pot 

 plant and for made-up baskets for 

 funerals. During the last fortnight the 

 weather has been like spring and every- 

 one has been making garden, but a de- 

 cided change is taking place. It is cold, 

 with two inches of snow and more 

 coming.
