avenue last summer, sold her interest 

 to Mr. "White. Mrs. June had little 

 experience in the florists' trade, and 

 this is the reason given for her dis- 

 posing of her interests. 



J. Schiller is busy these days, gather- 

 ing old azalea plants from the retail 

 florists. Mr. Schiller contemplates grow- 

 ing azalea plants for the market next 

 year, :^ and is securing the old stock 

 plants for cuttings.

The Market. 



Prices were better all along the line 

 last week, and a spirit of optimism pre- 

 vailed. The shipments of roses are 

 much lighter. Some American Beauties 

 actually touched $75 per hundred Jan- 

 uary 23. All roses are higher. There 

 was nothing under $2 per hundred and 

 the average advance over last week 

 was twenty-five per cent. All the nov- 

 elties rose to excellent figures. Hadley 

 sold at $3 per dozen. The best Killar- 

 neys and Sunburst, Shawyer, Bussell, 

 Mock and Ward grow constantly in 

 popularity. 



Three dollars seems to be top for 

 •amations. McKinley day is expected 

 to make a complete clean-up. The whole- 

 ■ale windows advertise the day by the 

 •iiaal posters. Betailers generally seem 



PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY. 



A list of PLANT NAMES and the Botanical Terms most frequently met with 

 In artidei on trade topics, with the CORRECT PRONUNCIATION for each. 



"The Pronouncing Dictionary is just what I have wanted." 

 "The Pronouncing Dictionary fills a long-felt want." 

 "The Pronouncing Dictionary alone was much more value than the su^ 

 scriptioa price of The Review."

 should be half a million carnations sold 

 on McKinley day in this city of 6,000,- 

 000 population. 



Strange to say, orchids remain the 

 mystery of the market. There has been 

 no advance, notwithstanding many re- 

 ceptions, weddings and banquets. Even 

 the street merchants had them to offer, 

 from the stock that went down to $10 

 per hundred. Even the finest of the 

 cattleyas seldom went above $25 per 

 hundred. There are now many vari- 

 eties.

Lilies have advanced but little, and vio-

 last week's quotations. Acacia is here, 

 early and excellent. Narcissi have 

 touched bottom and are now improving.
