made good. Both -winter and summer it 

 sells well here and holds its color re- 

 markably. 



Robert Dougherty, of "West Medway, 

 is making a decided hit with his fine 

 shipments of Spencer sweet peas, han- 

 dled by E. J, Rogean. 



Lured by high prices in the metropo- 

 lis, some of our leading carnation spe- 

 cialists have made large shipments there 

 during the last week. 



The many friends of Alexander Mont- 

 gomery, St., of Hadley, for many years 

 manager of the Waban Rose Conserva- 

 tories, Natick, will be relieved to learn 

 that he is successfully recuperating 

 from an operation for gallstones at the 

 Holyoke hospital, performed December 

 11. Mr. Montgomery's hosts of friends 

 wish him a speedy recovery. 



B. A. Snyder & Co. state that the pre- 

 vailing high price of flowers has not 

 checked the demand at all. Their ship- 

 ping trade is excellent and everything 

 indicates a splendid Christmas business. 



At Hamlin the Florist's store in the 

 Little building, Mr. Rogers reports busi- 

 ness as steadily improving. The store 

 is charmingly arranged for the holiday 

 season and as it becomes better knov^m 

 will soon be in the front rank of re- 

 tailers. 



Norris F. Comley, of Burlington, 

 grows roses in large quantity. At pres- 

 ent he is cutting Ophelia and "White 

 Killarney heavily, but he has a fine lot 

 of Spencer sweet peas. 



Light and heat restrictions made by 

 the fuel administrator affected all the 

 retail stores. At first hours of business 

 were set from 11:30 to 4:30, but after .a 

 large delegation had been at "Washing- 

 ton a modification was made and hours 

 were changed to from 9:30 to 4:30, with 

 an additional two hours on Saturdays. 

 It is unfortunate that this reduction 

 should come just when Christmas buying 

 is at its height, but all took the change 

 cheerfully and are now pleased that the 

 restrictions on light and heat were re- 

 moved December 16. 



Thomas Roland's several houses of 

 high-grade cyclamens are already com- 

 pletely sold out. From Revere he re- 

 ceives an average of 5,000 roses daily, 

 chiefly "Ward and Ophelia. He will have 

 a heavy cut of these and other varieties 

 for the holidays. 



Adolph E. E. Koch, of Nobseot, is 

 sending in fine shipments of marguer- 

 ites. He also has an excellent lot of
