of white; it looked like a Mothers' day, 

 as one of the wholesalers put it. White 

 carnations are little used at Christmas. 

 Violets are not nearly so much grown 

 here as they were a few years ago. 

 nightstown Lady Campbells are not 

 the factor they once were. Some of the 

 violet growers there now grow carna- 

 tions. This induces the wholesalers to 

 order the quantity of Marie Louise vio- 

 lets from the Hudson river district that 

 they require and makes less danger of 

 overproduction. Single violets will not 

 keep on the plants, so that they do not 

 figure so largely at the holidays. The 

 et ceteras of the cut flower list are 

 rarely in oversupply at Christmas. 

 When well grown they nearly always 

 sell at satisfactory prices. 



Club Meeting. 



E. J. Berlett delivered a rattling good 

 address before the Florists' Club Janu- 

 ary 5, telling his audience that each 

 one who works for the general good 

 must advance himself in so doing. He 

 applied the point to the club and next 

 spring's national show. 



S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. staged five 

 splendid vases of carnations. Three 

 were from Bassett & Washburn, Chi- 

 cago, as follows: Bella Washburn, red; 

 Helen Washburn, deep pink, and an 

 unnamed light pink seedling. A vase 

 of Mrs. C. Edward Akehurst was staged 

 on behalf of C. Akehurst & Son, White 

 Marsh, Md., and a vase of Mrs. Charles 

 Seigwart foi Charles Seigwart, of Bal- 

 timore. The Pennock-Meehan Co. also 

 staged two fine vases of roses, Mrs. 

 Moorfield Storey, for the Waban Rose 

 Conservatories, N^tick, Mass., and 

 Hoosier Beauty, for the E. G. Hill Co., 

 Richmond, Ind. 



Tlie Situation in Supplies. 



The holiday business over, concluded 

 in much more satisfactory shape than 

 seemed possible four months ago, H. 

 Bayersdorfer discussed conditions to- 

 day. He said that his firm were pleased 

 with business in the main; they had 

 done well and were satisfied with the 

 results. There were, however, condi- 

 tions, Mr. Bayersdorfer said, that were 

 most annoying. For instance, the 



steamer Roosheim, of the Holland* 

 America line, that left Rotterdam Octo- 

 bei 28, bound for New York, with sixty- 

 eight cases of moss wreaths, arrived 

 January 2. These wreaths were badly 

 needed to fill orders for customers be- 

 fore Christmas. Those customers 

 naturally felt disappointment at the de- 

 lay. Then there is the steamer Oster- 

 dyk, flying the flag of the same line, 

 supposed to have sailed in September 

 and to have some much desired mats 

 on board. This steamer has not yet ar- 

 rived. Mr. Bayersdorfer is inclined to 

 believe that the British government has 

 held up these steamers, believing them 

 to contain contraband of war. Tbe 

 steamer Noordyk brought in a case of 

 mats without warning and a number of 

 other cases of supplies came in by way 

 of Baltimore, also unheralded, so that 

 the trials of a supply house in these 

 chaotic times are manifest. 



Various Notes. 



Speaking of flowers, Emerson says: 

 "They are always fit presents, b|^cause 

 they are a proud assertion that a ray
