carnation, a cross between Maceo and a 

 yellow variety, of which he has been 

 showing some nice blooms at the new 

 market, 



John O'Brien, for the past eight years 

 with Carbone 's flower store, has severed 

 his connection with that firm and may 

 decide to start on his own account a 

 little later. 



Wm. E. Glidden, of Natick, and Wm. 

 McAlpin arc acting as salesmen for the 

 Budlong Co., at the Park street market. 

 Wm. Malloy, head salesman for the same 

 firm, is now able to resume his duties. 



Galvin had the decorations for the 

 first ball at the Somerset Hotel on Jan- 

 uary 4. Banks of poinsettias and palms 

 Avere effective in the ballroom. Red and 

 green was the color scheme in the palm 

 room also. Azaleas were used in quan- 

 tity and large lots of laurel wreathing 

 and hemlock. 



A pretty and effective centerpiece at a 

 dinner on January 4, consisted of five 

 dozen spikes of Calanthe Veitchii rising 

 from a bed of Adiant; m cuneatum, 

 Odontoglossum crispum flowers being 

 used as bouttonieres. Another decora- 

 tion on January 9 of Ijtelia anceps was 

 much admired, flowers of Dendrobium 

 nobile virginale serving as bouttonieres. 



A. H. Fewkes, of Newton Highlands, 

 has a house of mignonette from which 

 he is marketing some superb spikes. 



Geo. E. Buxton, of Xa.shua, N. H., is 

 sending some very fine lots of his new 

 light pink seedling carnation, Marion 

 Buxton, to the Park street market. 



.T. T. Butterworth is ?till a patient in 

 the Framingham Hosf»ital and his con- 

 dition causes anxiety. We trust he may 

 soon be convalescent. 



A generous subscription was taken up 

 in both the Park street and new market 

 on January 7 for the widow of the late 

 James Denning, who was salesman for 

 the J. A. Budlong Co.. of Providence, 

 R. I. Mr. Denning was held in high es- 

 teem among the growers and retailers.

The Review is worth very much more 

 than the subscription price. — F. H. Lak-

The Market 



Business has been very dull during the 

 past week and prices on nearly all lines 

 have weakened very materiaJly. The 

 single exception is tea roses of good 

 grade. For these the demand continues 

 in excess of the supply, but this does not 

 necessarily indicate that there is heavy 

 buying; on the contrary, supplies are 

 very light. There are plenty of low 

 grade Brides and Maids and these bring 

 cheap prices. Long Beauties have been 

 in very large supply and if the buyer 

 were not too critical as to age and quality 

 he could get very cheap rates. The best 

 stock has strengthened considerably, how- 

 ever, as the average quality of the cut is 

 on the down grade because of unfavor- 

 able weather. 



Compared with recent values of carna- 

 tions, current prices are very low. In 

 fact they are below the average for this 

 season of the year and quality is gener- 

 ally at its very best. The market has a 

 considerable surplus every day, princi- 

 pally colored sorts, for white is in good 

 demand for funeral work. The receipts 

 of violets are not so heavy as they r.ere 

 but demand has also slackened and 

 there is considerable waste after re- 

 quirements are met at low prices. Both 

 Harrisii .and callas are to be seen in 

 most of the wholesale houses and there 

 are large quantities of Romans and 

 Paper Whites which are difficult to 

 move. A few tulips are coming in but 

 :ire yet of poor stem and are not 

 largely wanted. Good mignonette 

 is selling fairly well but there is 

 no market for the {>oor stock. Stevia has 

 shortened up and sells fairly well. The 

 absence of active demand has made green 

 stock quite abundant. 



Receiver for Vinandy. 



On January 9, Dreiske & Hinners and 

 others, through their attorneys, Felsenthal 

 & Foreman, 100 Washington street, filed 

 a petition in the United States Circuit 

 Court to have .»iichael Winandy judged 

 a bankrupt. Edwin C. Day, First Na- 



tional Bank building, was appointed re- 

 ceiver, and took possession Monday even- 

 ing. Dreiske & Hinners are coal deal- 

 ers and their claim is small in proportion 

 to what the aggregate liabilities are said 

 to be. Mr. Winandy, besides running his 

 greenhouses, did a general contracting 

 business, and it is stated that it was in 

 this and not in the greenhouses that he 

 lost his money, although it is well un- 

 derstood that the greenhouse end wus do- 

 ing far less than it did in its first 

 couple of seasons in cut flowers. Mr. 

 Winandy, although a man of ex- 

 emplary character, was very lax in 

 his business methods and kept his 

 books in his head and his bank account in 

 his pocket, so that neither he nor the re- 

 ceiver yet knows just how he stands. The 

 claims are very large but are mostly ow- 

 ing to building material concerns. The 

 assets consist of fifty-two greenhouses 

 and several pieces of real estate. Henry 

 Wietor, of Wietor Bros., has a mortgage 

 for $6,000 on the greenhouse property 

 and is secured. The receiver is continu- 

 ing the business. 



Not Too Many Chatenay. 



Early in the season there were decid- 

 edly too many short Chatenay roses in 

 the market and the fear was expressed 

 that it has been overdone, but it hasn't 

 looked that way since the first crop was 

 off. Chatenay is a prolific bloomer and 

 August Poehlmann says that it gives a 

 great deal higher proportion of the tancy 

 grade flowers than any other rose he 

 grows. Its great value is most apparent 

 in mid-winter. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Reinberg was an early buyer of 

 the Richmond rose and placed an order 

 for 5,000 plants, which he has now in- 

 creased to 10,000. Emil Buettner and 

 his grower were down to Hill's to look 

 at it early this week. 



Wietor Bros, have their carnation 

 houses in very good shape. Guardian 

 Angel is particularly productive and as 

 a profitable variety is still well up to 

 the front.
