raw material used by nurserymen, in 

 addition to the impossibility of secur- 

 ing a sufficient amount of labor to prop- 

 erly care for the plantings, has resulted 

 in the greatest shortage in the supply 

 of fruit trees known to the trade within 

 the last forty years. Present conditions 

 in France would indicate that, even 

 next year, it will be impossible to se- 

 cure a sufficient amount of stocks." 



"DEMAND UNPRECEDENTED." 



"There is unquestionably a great 

 shortage of fruit trees at the present 

 time, and it is going to become much 

 more marked during the next two or 

 three years," predicts the W. & T. 

 Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y. "Nursery- 

 men have not been able to buy the 

 planting stocks in France which their 

 normal needs require. This has been 

 true for the last two years, so that the 

 stocks coming to the market now are 

 much reduced. On account of the severe 

 winter of a year ago, a great deal of 

 nursery stock was destroyed. There 

 were also many fruit orchards destroyed 

 by the winter, and the demand for re- 

 placement is extensive. 



"Taking it altogether, the demand 

 for nursery stock is unprecedented. Un- 

 questionably this situation is going to 

 continue for a number of years, as the 

 supply of seedlings in France is not 

 over half the usual amount. Also, the 

 supply of apple seedlings in this coun- 

 try is much below the average. 



"Few peach seedlings were budded 

 last year, and the supplv of peach trees 

 next season will be short." 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Prices have softened during the last 

 tew days, but there has been little 

 trouble in cleaning up all cut flowers. 

 Koses are decidedly off crop with prac- 

 tically everyone. They have held up 

 remarkably well, with short-stemmed 

 stock making $10 to $12 and other grades 

 up to $30 and $35. Many more flowers 

 could be disposed of were they available, 

 v^arnations have dropped considerably, 

 due in large measure to western ship- 

 ments to a large wholesale house, but 

 they have not gone below $6, and thev 

 sold at $8 January 11 and 13. Violets

continue scarce at $3. Sweet peas are 

 coming in more freely, but sell at high 

 prices, the best grades making $6. Mar- 

 guerites are not abundant at $2 to $5. 

 Calendulas of good quality have sold at 

 $8. 



Lilies are easier and callas have taken 

 a slight drop. Stevia is practically 

 over. Usually this lasts until February, 

 but th§ demands for flowers have been 

 so great that the supply was spent much 

 earlier than usual. Only a small quan- 

 tity of Paper Whites is coming and a 

 few French trumpet daffodils. Small 

 lots of wallflowers, forget-me-nots, mig- 

 nonette and other flowers are easily 

 cleared. Cattleyas are in good supply, 

 while oncidiums and other orchids are 

 plentiful. Good flowering plants are 

 scarce. 



Horticultural Society. 



The annual inaugural meeting of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 January 11 attracted a fair attendance. 

 The incoming president, W. C. Endi- 

 cott, made an excellent address. He 

 urged a vigorous campaign to increase 

 the membership and favored a much 

 larger fee for membership, with a 

 broader range of work than in the past. 

 He did not think that so much energy 

 need be put into exhibitions. There 

 was some discussion following his ad- 

 dress. The treasurer's report showed a 

 balance of $2,100 for the year 1918. 

 Reports of the various committees were 

 read and accepted. On the exhibit 

 table were plants of a fine strain of 

 Primula malacoides and Tillandsia Lin- 

 denii, from William Martin, gardener to 

 K T. Kidder.
