 For Easter a fair crop of Hadley and 

 Crusader is expected and these will 

 realize top-notch prices. Carnations, 

 which had a l)ad fainting spell last 

 week, are asserting themselves strongly. 

 A small numlier only have come in the 

 last few days. Either crops are off or 

 growers are holding flowers back; most 

 probably the latter. Whites have sold 

 well of late. Prices are up to $6 to $8 

 per hundred, with Laddie and Maine 

 Sunshine .$12 per hundred. 



Violets, except for some doubles, are 

 about over. Sweet ])eas are abundant, 

 with comparatively low i)rices. The 

 same is true of bulbous material. Yel- 

 low marguerites are fine and there is an 

 increased supply of calendulas at $2 to 

 $3 per hundred. Callas and Easter lilies 

 are stronger. Snapdragon varies from 

 $6 to $15 per hundred and is now of 

 fine quality. Primroses are over; pan- 

 sies, nearly so. Mignonette is getting 

 poor and wallflowers and forget-me-nots 

 are both near the end. There are a few 

 Spanish irises, some Gypsophila elegans, 

 and small lots of hardy larkspurs. 



Cattleya Mossise is more plentiful, but 

 the demand is not robust. There are 

 some odontoglossums and cymbidiums, 

 as well as a few odontiodas. Gardenias 

 are in fine supply, as well as valley, and 

 the call for asparagus is somewhat im- 

 proved. 



Various Notes. 



The finance commission of the city of 

 Boston has completed an investigation 

 of the use of plants from the city 

 greenhouses for decoration purposes. 

 The commission states that in 1920 the 

 park department made seventy-four 

 decorations and ninety in 1921, up to 

 November 15. Of these, fifty-four went 

 to churches, and most of the balance 

 went for school graduations. The city 

 has delivered all plants, furnished 

 heated vases for cold weather and cared 

 for and arranged the decorations. Many 

 plants have been killed or injured, and 

 it has cost the city at least $5,000 to do 

 this work, which legitimately belongs 

 to the florists. The report recommends 

 that hereafter city property be loaned 

 for public celebrations and that schools 

 securing plants be charged a suitable 

 fee. These recommendations will, un- 

 doubtedly, be adopted. 



The block of buildings at 1 to 5 

 Winthrop square, Boston, 18 to 36 Otis 

 street, and 261 to 287 Devonshire street, 

 has been leased for a long term of years
