eeedingly large shipment of wreaths to 

 New l^,)igland last week. 



The Porto Rican shipment of stock 

 for the Kobert Craig Co., at Norwood 

 Station, included the golden Sansevieria 

 Laurcntii, one of Robert Craig's special- 

 ties. 



It is rumored that Manager Reilly, of 

 the Independents, has signed Joseph 

 Kennedy, the hard-hitting inficldcr of 

 the Growers' Market, for the coming 

 season. 



I. Eosnoski, of Chicago, was in this 

 city April 24. 



Adolph Farenwald sent a fine cut of 

 Russell roses from his place, at Roslyn, 

 to the Leo Niessen Co. at Easter.

The Market. 



Since Easter we have had a weak 

 market and flowers of all kinds show a 

 marked recession in price. Demand 

 from the retail stores has lacked vigor 

 and tliere has been a considerable wast- 

 age in some lines. The weather has 

 been extremely cool for April and not 

 favorable for a large production. Roses 

 have weakened considerably and short- 

 stemmed stock sells as low as $2 per 

 liundred in the case of Killarney and 

 Ophelia. The last-named rose, which 

 has been immensely popular for years, 

 is losing favor and Butterfly seems des- 

 tined to displace it. There are now some 

 specially fine Hadloy and Crusader com- 

 ing in, and Ward roses from one or two 

 growers are of good quality. Columbia 

 continues the leader, however, among 

 the hybrid teas. 



Carnations have undergone a consid- 

 erable decline in price, and anyone get- 

 ting as much as $4 per hundred for 

 good stock is doing well. A great many 

 flowers sell much lower. Sweet peas 

 galore are coming in, and the market 

 is swamped with them at prices vary- 

 ing from 50 cents per hundred upwards. 

 Yellow and white marguerites are 

 abundant and of fine quality, selling 

 tolerably well. Bulbous material, now 

 mainly daffodils, is much overdone, and 

 prices are the lowest of the season. 

 The indoor crop is now nearly over and 

 large trumpet varieties are flowering 

 outdoors. 



Cut lilies no one seems to want, even 

 at $1 per dozen, and there is a veritable 

 avalanche of callas at the same low 

 price. Pansies, bachelor's buttons, Gyp- 

 sophila elegans and myosotis are seen 

 in moderate quantities. Some nice del-

Self-Watering Device 



For Hanging Baskets 



MAKE all the hanginij baskets you fill self- 

 watering by using the Daisy Self- 

 Waterer. Put in any basket after it is 

 filled and never seen. Can be regulated to water 

 any size basket. Never have to take a basket 

 down to water it. With this device any child 

 can water them. Always a uniform moisture, 

 and pLmts will grow much better: that means 

 more people will want baskets and that spells 

 more money for the florist. 



When shown and explained every lady who 

 has a handing basket will want one. DEVICE 

 made of galvanized iron and copper and a sure 

 seller wherever shown. Try a sample order and 

 be convinced. 



Price, $6.00 per doz. 



A sample mailed upon receipt of 50c
