The Rorists^ Review 



Janoabx 27, 1021 



marks making a plea for a greater in- 

 terest in the society on the part of the 

 younger members, so that a greater 

 share of the responsibility could be 

 taken up by them, relieving old and 

 faithful members who have served for 

 twenty-five years. 



William Turner, of Oceanic, N. J., 

 made a splendid response to the toast, 

 "Our Sister Societies." C. H. Totty 

 spoke at some length of the subject, 

 "Innocence Abroad," the toastmaster 

 suggesting the subject. His remarks 

 caused considerable amusement. Mr. 

 Totty gave a graphic account of his 

 recent visit to the devastated battle- 

 fields of Europe, especially the sectors 

 in which the Americans fought. 



Assemblyman Goorge W. Downs spoke 

 in commendation of the progress made 

 by the society and its prominence in the 

 horticultural world. Other speakers 

 were Edward Beagan, secretary of the 

 society, who reviewed the work of the 

 organization since its initial meeting; 

 Dr. Currie, T. A. Weston and J. H. 

 Pepper. The committee in charge of 

 the dinner consisted of President Wil- 

 liam Brown, Vice-President David Yule, 

 W. H. Duckham, C. H. Totty and 

 Arthur Herrington. ,T. H. P.

The Market. 



Last week there was one of many 

 changes in temperature. The snow holds 

 oft wonderfully well and there is- hardly 

 any to be seen. The days are dull, how- 

 ever, and stock in most lines is quite 

 scarce. Good prices prevail on all flow- 

 ers. Last week the demand was 

 good, but it was difficult to find suffi- 

 cient stock to go around. Roses are 

 particularly short and prices have ad- 

 vanced. Short-stemmed stock is bring- 

 ing $12 per hundred and the longest 

 grades are selling at $30 per hundred. 

 The shorter grades are much in demand, 

 with also a heavy demand for the me- 

 cHum grades. Carnations are in light 

 supj)ly. These are bringing $8 to $10 

 per hundred, for both white and colored 

 blooms. They are of excellent qual- 

 ity. There is a good supply of violets 

 on the market, and they are usually 

 <leaned up the morning of arrival. 

 They are exceptionally fine, and for the 

 last week reached $1 per hundred. 

 Bulbous stofk is reaching us daily in 

 Siood supply. These include tulips of 

 various colors, which sell at $10 per 

 hundre<l. Daffodils, which include some 

 trumpets, reach the $10 mark .'ilso. 

 Paper Whites, which have dropped off a 

 little recently, are bringing $5 ;ind $(> 

 j»er hundred. Sweet peas are arriving 

 in limited supplies and bring $1 to $i, 

 according to quality. A fair sujiply of 

 callas is seen and these are •elling for 

 $25 to $30 per hundred. Easter lilies 

 ;ire not in big demand, but their quality 

 is good and they not $20 per hundred. 

 Valley is extra fine and is selling at $10. 

 Orchids are of excellent quality and sell 

 •Ht $100 per hundred. Cypripediunis are ' 

 plentiful and the demand is fair. They j 

 sell at $25 per hundred. Yellow daisies I 

 range in price from $3 to $4 i)er hun- 

 dred. Mignonette and other small flow- 

 ers are scarce and usually clean up 

 quickly
