The Market. 



Tho market has boi'u dull for the last 

 two or throe (lays, with a rather slack 

 demand, but prices have, as yet, receded 

 little. The skies liave been remarkably 

 clear, there not being a cloud visible in 

 live successive days. The severe cold 

 wave, lasting from January 2;} to 2G, 

 affected business somewhat and there 

 were some rei)orts of frozen shipments. 

 Violets suffered more than other flowers 

 during the cold wave, since severe 

 weather always affects adversely the 

 sale of these flowers. There is an op- 

 timistic feeling abroad, due to the com- 

 ing together of the vjirious trade ele- 

 ments in the convention of tlie New 

 JCngland Florists' Alliance. 



Koses have not changed materially. 

 Growers who have run their houses fair- 

 ly well are having good cuts and the 

 season has been, so far, a satisfactory 

 one. Columbia easily remains the {)opu- 

 lar leader, but I'ilgrim, Eussell, Premier, 

 Ophelia and Double White Killarney are 

 all selling well. Home good American 

 Beauties are being received from the 

 Hudson river district. Carnations have 

 declined little, but are more plentiful 

 and a downward tendency was shown 

 January 30. Violets are weaker, due 

 largely to the continued cold weather. 

 Sweet peas are about the sanu;. 



Pansies are coming in more freely and 

 show an increasing popularity. There 

 are some fine calendulas, and bunches of 

 wallflowers and myosotis prove pofyular. 

 Callas are more abundant, but sell well. 

 Supplies of lilies are small. There is 

 some good mignonette. Bulbous flowers 

 hold up well in price, but the quantity 

 gradually increases and the quality im- 

 proves. Golden Spur remains the pojju- 

 lar daffodil, but a few other sorts are 

 seen. Tulips are coming in longer- 

 stemmed. There is a good supply of 

 well grown freesias. Stevia is nearly 

 over for the season. 



Gardenias in small lots come from 

 local growers, but most of the flowers are 

 shij)ped from New York. Cattleyas are 

 amj)le for the demands and there are 

 now some good dendrobiums. Cut sprays 

 of Acacia Baileyana and Buddleia 

 asiatica prove popular and other flowers 

 out of the common noted art; Statice 

 Suworowii and Jasminium i)riniulinum. 

 There are no additions to pot-flowering 

 plants, except a few acacias. 



Club Meeting. 



Severely cold weather much afl'ected 

 the attendance at the meeting of the 

 (^lardeners' and Florists' (^lub at Hor- 

 ticultural hall January 24, .about 125 

 ladies and gentlemen being in attend- 

 ance. Two new members were elected. 

 James Methven presented resolutions on 

 the death of Frederick Cave, which were 

 unanimously ado])te<l. X. K. Kogers rc- 

 ])orted on the carnation night, scheduled 

 for February 2.'], and the banquet, Febru- 

 ary 28. There was an excellent call for 

 tickets for the latter occasion. 



The treasurer 's report showed a sub- 

 stantial credit balance in banks and lib- 

 erty bonds. The secretary's report 

 showed a membership of 427 in ten 

 states. Seventy members were added in 

 1921. Six members died, viz., J. K. M. 

 L. Farquhar, James F. M. Farquhar, 

 M. A. Patten, Frederick Cave, James 

 Nicol and Frederick C. Green. There 

 were six lady members. The average at- 

 tendance at all the meetings was 112.
