The Market. 



The weather continued cold last week. 

 For about a week the thermometer reg- 

 istered from zero down to as much as 

 20 degrees below in this vicinity. About 

 eight inches of snow have fallen. 



Business held up well, especially in 

 funeral work. The dark, cloudy and 

 otherwise unfavorable weather has had 

 marked effect on stock for cutting. Pot 

 plants were not plentiful, owing to such 

 a general clean-up around Christmas. 



Ladies' Night In Boston. 



E. E. Eandall visited the meeting of 

 the Boston Gardeners* and Florists* 

 Club January 13. It was Ladies' night 

 and many Scottish dances were indulged 

 in. W. N. Craig, the secretary, is won- 

 derful in a Scottish reel, as is Andrew 

 K. Rogers, the retiring president.

The Market. 



Last week found business brisk and 

 stock of all grades practically cleaned 

 up daily. 



In spite of the high prices asked, the 

 market was steady on roses. The extra 

 specials sold at $50 and specials at $35 

 . per hundred. The notable scarcity of 

 carnations sent the price on fancy stock 

 up to $15 per hundred. Some extra line 

 sweet peas brought $4 per hundred, 

 other grades selling down to $2 per 

 hundred. Extra fancy Princess of 

 Wales violets made their appearance

and brought $2 per hundred. Miniature 

 roses were off crop and out of the mar- 

 ket. Paper Whites enjoyed a steady 

 demand and brought around $6 per 

 hundred. Jonquils had not made their 

 appearance. Orchids, valley and stevia 

 came from the Chicago market. 



Plumosus shipped here from Florida 

 and other southern points was one of 

 the few things that did not bring an 

 inflated price. This green arrived in 

 perfect condition and at 20 to 25 cents 

 per bunch was freely used.
