NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The continued dark weather has kept 

 up the prices on most flowers. The de- 

 mand still holds for carnations and 

 roses. Violets and bulbous stock are 

 more plentiful. Sweet peas and pansies 

 are coming in well. There are some 

 excellent white snapdragons to be had. 



St. Valentine's day promises a good 

 business. Violets are already in de- 

 mand for that day and the "price will 

 no doubt be a little higher. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, has 

 been elected tree warden of that town. 



Julius the Florist reports a lively 

 trade in potted plants. He has had 

 a good deal of funeral work lately, 

 also. 



James Garthley, of Fairhaven, who 

 recently became a commercial florist, 

 is doing a good business. Mr. Garth- 

 ley is one of the oldest growers in 

 this section, but until lately was in 

 charge of the greenhouses of the 

 Rogers estate. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Bedford Horticultural Society 

 was held in the Public Library build- 

 ing Monday, February 1. W. M. P. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Market conditions are improving. 

 The demand is better for all cut flowers. 

 Carnations are in fine crop. Roses are 

 improving rapidly. Bulbous stock is 

 plentiful. Lilies, "valley and greens are 

 equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club staged a unique 

 display at the pure food show held at 

 the Coliseum last week. A booth show- 

 ing old valentines dating back to 1830, 

 and the newer valentines, consisting of 

 flowers, was tastefully arranged. Bas- 

 kets and corsages were arranged by the 

 retailers, a different display being made 

 each day. A lady attendant distributed 

 circulars telling of the use of flowers 

 as valentines. There were 18,000 cir- 

 culars disposed of during the week. 

 Much favorable comment was heard 

 from all sides. 



Final arrangements for the flower 

 show to be held here November 10 to 

 14 by the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 America have been made. Retailers' 

 displays, as well as displays of roses 

 and carnations, will be held in connec- 

 tion with the chrysanthemum show. 

 Wigmore coliseum has been secured for 

 the show. F. A. F.
