BENSON FLORAL CO., Alvin, Texas 



ESTABLISHED 1894 



Daffodils have disappeared from the 

 market and few tulips are seen. Lilies 

 are scarce and are selling better. A 

 few fine candidums are seen at retail 

 sttres. Callas move somewhat better. 

 Marguerites are plentiful. The whites 

 do not sell as well as the yellows and 

 flowers of either color must be good to 

 bring over $2. Sweet peas have been 

 unfavorably affected by the weather and 

 lack substance. The best realize $1.50 

 to $2 per hundred. 



Snapdragons have sold somewhat bet- 

 ter, some fancy flowers bringing $2 per 

 dozen. Gypsophila elegans is fairly 

 plentiful and sells at 50 cents per bunch. 

 A few irisesi are seen and gladioli are 

 looked for in a few days. Cut lilac is 

 not yet available here, but a few days 

 will see an abundance of tnis and otl.er 

 open-air material on hand. Gardenias 

 are gradually petering out and the stems 

 are shorter. Valley moves moderately, 

 but will sell better shortly with many 

 weddings coming along. Cattleyas are 

 getting rather scarce. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an attendance of over 100 

 members at the meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club April 26. Six 

 new members were elected, including 

 Miss M. R. Case, of Weston, an influen- 

 tial and popular exhibitor and strong 

 financial supporter of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society. Miss Case asked 

 the club to support the Boston shows 

 heavily this year and the members pres- 

 ent voted enthusiastically to do fo. After 

 a short address by Albert R. Jenks, ex- 

 tension agent, a number of club mem- 

 bers were enrolled as members of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Grimm & Gorly, St. Louis, wrote ask- 

 ing the club's support for their list of 

 birthday flowers for the various months. 

 A number criticised the selection of the 

 narcissus for December, as the flowers 

 of Paper White and Soleil d'Or avail- 

 able at that time are offensive to many. 



A committee, consisting of B. F. Let- 

 son, W. N. Craig and H. A. Kyan, was 

 appointed to consider the matter and 

 report at the May meeting.
