the usual success, except, perhaps, with 

 jobbers, who are holding off a little to 

 see if prices are coming down, some- 

 thing decidedly desirable but not at 

 present possible of realization. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



The quantity of flowers coming into 

 the market at present is small, and if 

 there were much retail demand, there 

 would not be nearly enough to go 

 around. Roses are particularly short, 

 and prices have advanced since a week 

 ago. Short-stemmed stock has ad- 

 vanced to $10 and $12, and these and 

 the medium grades are in good demand. 

 The quantity of long-stemmed stock is 

 comparatively small and the call is 

 light. Carnations are also priced some- 

 what higher, with an average of $10 

 to $12 for colored flowers and whites 

 a trifle lower. These are now arriving 

 in something like exhibition quality. 



Sweet peas sell well at $2 to $4, but 

 violets go more slowly at $2 to $2.50 

 l)er hundred. There are nice batches 

 of calendulas coming in and these 

 jjrove popular, especially the orange 

 shades. A few trumi)et daffodils are 

 seen and these have made $12 to $16 

 per hundred. Small lots of freesias and 

 tulips are seen, also campernelle jon- 

 quils. Ijilies still move sluggishly, as 

 does mignonette. An abundance of 

 Paper Whites are coming in, and many 

 thousands are being reshipped to New 

 York. Stevia continues in large supply 

 and, as a result, sales of asj)aragns are 

 dejiressed. There is but little call for 

 valley. Gardenias remain about $6 ])er 

 dozen. Cattleya Percivaliana and C. 

 Triana> are cheaper. Pot plant trade is 

 rather (juiet at all the stores. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



There was a larger and more en- 

 thusiastic attendance at the inaugural 

 meeting of the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society January 8 than for 

 many years, and the meeting went off 

 with a snap which augurs well for tlif 

 future welfare of Boston horticulture. 

 William C. Endicott, the retiring presi- 

 dent, in the course of his address, re- 

 ferred at length to the fight being 

 waged against Quarantine 37 and ex- 

 pressed regret that the head of the 

 i^ederal Horticultural Board did not 

 face the issue in the same straightfor- 

 ward manner as the horticultural and 

 other societies which sought an amend- 

 ment to it. There would be no let-up
