Tlie Market. 



With the near approach of spring, cut 

 flower arrivals are increasing and prices 

 have shown a softening tendency. Feb- 

 ruary proved a good month and it is 

 doubtful if growers ever realized more 

 satisfactory prices. While the arrival 

 of Lent may put a quietus on social ac- 

 tivities, it has not of late years ad- 

 versely affected the market, and no one 

 looks for any considerable slump in 

 values. 



Boses are not yet abundant, but are 

 a little lower in price. The bulk of the 

 hybrid teas make from $4 to $20 per 

 hundred, with some fancies higher. 

 American Beauties continue to bring 

 good prices. Carnations have declined 

 a little and bring $3 to $5, with such 

 varieties as Good Cheer, Benora Sport 

 and Ward higher. Laddie makes $12 to 

 $15 and is in good demand at these 

 prices. Violets vary from 50 cents to 

 $1 and are coming in more freely. Yel- 

 low primroses are arriving from several 

 growers and are popular. Sweet peas 

 command a big sale, the best still mak- 

 ing $2.50 to $3 per hundred. Lilies are 

 lower; so are callas. Calendulas, wall- 

 flowers, forget-me-nots, bachelor's but- 

 tons, snapdragons and pansies are all 

 more abundant. Practically all varieties 

 of bulbous flowers are now obtainable, 

 including Darwin tulips.

Cattleyas continue in fairly good sup- 

 ply, but supplies of valley and gardenias 

 are limited. Asparagus and adiantum 

 are both on the short side and command 

 excellent prices. A fine assortment of 

 flowering plants is available. 



Club Victory Banquet. 



There was an attendance of over 200 

 at the Victory banquet of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club in Horticultural 

 hall February 26. The dining tables 

 and stage were beautifully decorated 

 with plants and cut flowers and never 

 previously presented so attractive an 

 appearance. Flags of the United States 

 and her allies adorned the walls. Vic- 

 tory books of songs were found at each 

 plate and many of these were sung with 

 great zest. Andrew K. Bogers acted as 

 toastmaster. William C. Stickel re- 

 sponded ably to the toast of the United 

 States of America. F. £. Palmer spoke 



for France in his usual finished style. 

 Robert Cameron waxed eloquent over 

 the part played by the British Empire 

 toward winning the war. William Downs 

 paid touching tribute to heroic Belgium 

 and Peter Pederzini covered himself 

 with glory and received rousing cheers 

 for his tribute to his native land, Italy. 

 Nathaniel T. Kidder, a past president 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, responded for that body, and W. 

 N. Craig said a good word for the ladies. 

 A silent toast was drunk to the memo- 

 ries of M. W. Roberts and John E. 

 Blocksidge, club members killed in ac- 

 tion in France. Of the forty-five mem- 

 bers in various branches of the service, 

 several have received the croix de 

 guerre and other decorations for brav- 

 ery. The audience stood also and voiced 

 its sorrow at the passing of W. J. Stew- 

 art, the club's first president, who waa
