were offered and sold weU. Of pom- 

 pons and singles there was an ample 

 supply and some snrplns. 



Only small lots of marguerites and 

 baehelor's buttons were seen. Valley 

 was scarce and dear, but not much 

 called for. A fair supply of cattleyas 

 and other orchids was on hand. There 

 was a good sale of such pot plants as 

 chrysanthemums, cyclamens, begonias, 

 solanums, ferns and Erica melanthera. 



The Market. 



Owing to the continued dark weather 

 since Thanksgiving, flowers are short- 

 ening up materially. Boses practically 

 retain holiday prices. Carnations make 

 $6 and $8 and there is little recession 

 in other flowers. Many chrysanthe- 

 mums still come in, but single-stemmed 

 stock is poor and most of the offerings 

 are pompons and singles. As carnations 

 and roses are both in short supply and 

 mums practically finished, a strong 

 market seems certain for some weeks 

 ahead. 



Among the Betallers. 



At the store of Henry E. Comley, on 

 Park street, are always to be found 

 some varieties of plants not procurable 

 at other stores. Among interesting ones 

 noted this week were Sanchezia nobilis, 

 Pilea muscosa, or artillery plant, sem- 

 pervivums, saxifragas, Kalanchce Man- 

 daiana, anthericums, selaginellas, pani- 

 cums and philodendrons. Mr. Comley 

 looks for some decline in the florists' 

 trade as a result of existing conditions. 



At John J. O 'Brien 's large and finely 

 arranged store, at the corner of Charles 

 and Beacon streets, a handsome lot of 

 evergreens in tubs is arranged on the 

 sidewalks and these find a ready sale. 

 Cyclamens and bronze chrysanthemums 

 sell specially well among flowering 

 plants. In cut flowers I noted fine lots 

 of orchids, gardenias and bouvardias in 

 several colors. Business here took a 

 decided spurt the day after election and 

 has continued good. Edward Welch, 

 brother of Patrick Welch, is now one 

 of the staff here, as well as Frank P. 

 Deery. 



At the Park street store of Thomas 

 Galvin, Inc., I noticed some cheering 

 basket arrangements in one of the large 

 show windows this week. One was of 

 habrothamnus, now christened cestrum 

 by botanists, and white bouvardia. Ha- 

 brothamnus makes one of the finest con- 

 servatory climbers and is too seldom 

 seen. One beautiful orchid basket con- 

 tained yellow cypripediums, Vanda cse- 

 rulea, cattleyas and oncidiums with a 

 few gardenias to make it more
