874 Broadway ELCO BRAND New York 



eral average for colored-flowered sorts 

 was $15 per hundred; with whites added, 

 $12 per hundred. Whites separately 

 sold at $8 to $10 per hundred. Rosalia 

 and Laddie realized $20 to $25 per hun- 

 dred without any trouble. Violets of 

 the best grades sold at $3; others at 

 $2.50. Sweet peas went all the way from 

 $2 to $5 per hundred; yellow margue- 

 rites, $3 to $4 per hundred, and Paper 

 White narcissi, $5 to $6 per hundred. 

 Callas and Easter lilies cleaned up at $4 

 to $5 per dozen. There were small lots 

 of calendulas, snapdragons, myosotis, 

 bachelor's buttons and other flowers, 

 which sold well. Stevia was in more 

 abundant supply than any other flower. 

 Cut poinsettias were a slow sale. 



Cattleyas were scarce at $24 per 

 dozen. Cypripediums were in good sup- 

 ply at $3 to $6 per hundred and gar- 



denias of rather poor quality sold at $6 

 to $12 per dozen. Lilies of the valley 

 sold at $12 per hundred. 



There was a tremendous demand for 

 Christmas trees, wreaths, wreathing and 

 all kinds of holiday decorative material. 

 Red ruscus and some other items were 

 entirely sold out. The market is likely 

 to be rather bare of flowers for 

 some time, the cold weather greatly re- 

 ducing the output. Chrysanthemums 

 made their final bow. Mistletoe, Golden 

 Mistletoe, Hamburg Late White, Maud 

 Dean and even Bonnaffon came in for 

 Christmas, as well as some bunches of 

 singles and pompons. Most of these 

 were showing signs of age. 



Club Meetings. 



Although coming on December 20, 

 when commercial men are usually busy. 



the last meeting of the year of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston 

 attracted a large and enthusiastic at- 

 tendance. Peter M. Miller, George M. 

 Anderson and William Patterson, com- 

 mittee on resolutions for the late James 

 Nicol, presented resolutions which were 

 adopted by a rising vote. The secretary 

 reported the deaths of Marcellus A. 

 Patten and Frederick Cave, both for 

 many years members of the club. Presi- 

 dent Judd appointed Gustavo Thom- 

 men, Peter Fisher and S. J. Goddard a 

 committee on resolutions in the case of 

 Mr. Patten, and James Methven, A. K. 

 Rogers and T. U. Little a similar com- 

 mittee regarding Mr. Cave. 



Mr. Rogers, for the executive com- 

 mittee, reported that the committee 

 favored holding a ladies' night January 

 24 and the annual banquet March 2.
