 F. T. D. orders. His latest is an adver- 

 tisement in The Stars and Stripes, the 

 official daily newspaper of the A. E. F., 

 and he is the only florist represented in 

 the paper. Mr. Schling brings to the 

 soldiers ' attention that ' ' flowers can be

BOSTON. 



The Market. 



In spite of two holidays, February 22 

 and 24, the latter on account of Presi- 

 dent Wilson's visit to Boston on his 

 way home to Washington from the Paris 

 peace conference, business holds up well 

 and there is no great surplus of any- 

 thing, although flowers are more abun- 

 dant than a week ago. Roses are arriv- 

 ing more freely. Select American Beau- 

 ties still command high prices, with 

 Hadley and Russell realizing excellent 

 prices for the end of February. Colum- 

 bia is coming in of better quality. It im- 

 proves as the weather becomes warmer. 

 Ophelia continues to sell much higher 

 than any of the Killarneys. Carnations 

 have held their own well during the last 

 week. They are now of top-notch qual- 

 ity. Violets are cheaper and some are 

 now sold below the dollar mark. 



Sweet peas are popular and some of 

 the best make $3 to $4 per hundred. 

 There is a good supply of fine pansies. 

 Bulbous stock is lower; practically all 

 varieties are now available. A few 

 Spanish irises have appeared and small 

 lots of anemones and ranunculi. Lilies 

 are scarce and high-priced, but callas 

 are cheaper. Lily of the valley is gen- 

 erally of inferior quality. Cattleya 

 Trianae still is obtainable in good num- 

 bers. A few SchroedersB have also ap- 

 peared, but this variety does not take 

 like Trianse. Asparagus continues 

 scarce, both plumosus and Sprengeri. 



Bulbous plants are now leading fea- 

 tures at many of the stores, A few

Club Meeting. 



There was an attendance of 100 at the 

 club meeting following the successful 

 flower show held February 18 and re- 

 ported last week in The Eeview. In 

 the hurry of reporting the exhibition, 

 mention was omitted of splendid White 

 Benora carnations from Patten & Co., 

 and White Benora and Elizabeth, a 

 glorified sport of Benora, from A. A. 

 Pembroke. The latter is a mammoth 

 flower and brighter than Benora. The 

 large display of cereals, seeds, vege- 

 tables, tools, etc., of the T. J. Grey Co. 

 was interesting; also the honorary dis- 

 play of twelve vases of splendid sweet 

 peas from M. W. Farr, additional to 

 those in the competitive classes. 



Five new members were elected and 

 $50 was appropriated to the S. A. F. 

 publicity fund for 1919. A committee 

 was appointed to fight threatened steam 

 boiler legislation at the State House 

 February 20. It was unanimously voted 

 to approve the formation of a League 

 of Nations to enforce peace, in order to

safeguard the fruits of victory. C. S. 

 Strout spoke on the keeping quality of 

 carnations. The aim now should be to 

 produce a race with size, keeping quali* 

 ties, fragrance and robust habit. He 

 mentioned Euth Baur, which left In- 

 dianapolis February 14, arrived at 

 Framingham February 17 and was in 

 good condition in the hall as he spoke. 

 S. J. Goddard discussed varieties seen 

 at the Cleveland convention, which, how- 

 ever, did not have a display equal to 

 what they had that evening in Boston. 

 Eastern flowers were said to be superior 

 to those seen in the middle west, where 

 the ridge and furrow houses were in 

 vogue. That section also lacked the 

 clear winter skies of the eastern coast. 

 We would soon have a new large type 

 of carnations of the Laddie standard, 

 embracing all colors.
