a cut in prices well advertised shoul 

 stimulate buying. Purchasers cannot see 

 why flowers at retail sell at prices equal 

 to those of a year ago, while practically 

 everything else they buy is on the to- 

 boggan, and, now that flowers are com- 

 ing in more abundantly, it would seem to 

 be an opportune time to give the flower 

 buying public a chance to buy at reduced 

 rates. 



Roses are lower. Beauties are all of 

 the better grades and these keep up well 

 in price, but hybrid teas have dropped 

 considerably. There is little demand for 

 fancy flowers, 9-inch to 21-inch stock 

 being mostly in demand. Carnations 

 have also declined in value and the 

 milder weather is greatly increasing the 

 cut of these. It seems somewhat strange 

 to see fancy carnations, like Laddie, sell- 

 ing cheaper than tulips or daffodils and 

 good, standard varieties not reaching 

 much more than half as much as Golden 

 Spur daffodils. Violets are down below 

 the dollar mark and have declined more 

 than pansies. 



Lilium longiflorum moves slowly at 

 $15 per hundred and callas have dropped 

 to $20. Mignonette is hard to sell, ex- 

 cept some of the fancy grades. The 

 supply of marguerites is increasing, also 

 of calendulas and bachelor's buttons. 

 Tulips and daffodils are lower, but move 

 fairly well. Freesias are variable in 

 price, as in quality, and there is now a 

 surplus of them. Sweet peas are much 

 more plentiful and values have sunk as 

 low as 50 cents, the best going at $2.50 

 to $3. There is some nice cut acacia, 

 which sells well. Sufficient Cattleya 

 Trian«e is available at 75 cents to $1 

 each, and there is a fine variety of sea- 

 sonable orchids. 



Valley is not in much request at $6 to 

 $8 per hundred. There are still some 

 Paper Whites and stevia coming in, but 

 sales are quite slow. Myosotis and 

 snapdragon do not sell well and there is 

 little demand. 



New England Florists. 



The annual monthly meeting of the 

 New England Florists' Association was 

 held at the Boston City Club, February 

 2, with about forty members in attend- 

 ance. There was a noticeable absence of 

 prominent retailers and salesmen, and 

 it is hoped this will be corrected at 

 future meetings, in order to give Presi- 

 dent Letson and the other oflScers proper 

 support. 



President B. F. Letson in his opening 

 remarks said the meetings lately had not 

 been so well attended as could be de- 

 sired, as they were too prolonged and
