thing, a little weaker. Sweet peas of 

 good quality sell well. There is less of 

 a glut of these flowers than there was 

 before Easter. Daffodils are holding 

 up well. Outdoor daffodils are now in 

 season. Only a limited number of 

 tulips are seen. Freesia has disap- 

 peared. 



Callas are abundant and much lower 

 in price; the same holds true of lilies. 

 Antirrhinums continue slow sellers. 

 This is strange, as they are most satis- 

 factory keepers, have pleasing colors 

 and are most decorative. Calendulas 

 are low and bachelor's buttons continue 

 on the down grade. Pansies are in 

 heavy supply, with prices low. Good 

 yellow marguerites sell well and bring 

 as much as fancy carnations. 



Gardenias are abundant and cheaper. 

 Cattleyas are now mainly Mossia;. A 

 limited number of other orchids are 

 seen, mainly cypripediums. 



Boston Florists' Association. 



A monthly meeting of this associa- 



tion was held at the City Club April 12. 

 President B. F. Letson presided over a 

 moderate attendance. 



The principal business of the evening 

 was a splendid address by E. H. New- 

 comb, of the transportation department 

 of the Boston & Maine railroad. The 

 sufferings of the railroads under gov- 

 ernment control, labor and its con- 

 tinued demand for shorter hours, with 

 greater inefiiciency and more pay, and 

 the many other tribulations of the 

 country's steam carriers made florists 

 feel that they were not the most 

 afflicted class after all, and they had 

 abundant reason to be grateful that 

 they had no labor boards to fight. Mr. 

 Newcomb's address proved timely and 

 illuminating, and ho received a hearty 

 vote of thanks at its close. 



Various Notes. 



In last week's report of the Boston 

 spring show the grand group of superb- 

 ly flowered Nemesia strumosa, from A.
