placed on*'exhibi4ioii at the P^rk street- 

 market and was cl«flely scrutinized by 

 the growers. 



William Nicholson has sold a large 

 quaiitit.y of pans of Primula obconica 

 at the ' market this season. A number 

 of small plants were used in each pan, 

 which made very pretty and salable 

 stock 



The recent death of Farquhar Macrae, 

 of Providence, E. I., is much regretted 

 here, where he was well known, being 

 a visitor at all our important shows. 



John "Walsh, manager of the Park 

 street market, has been quite badly 

 crippled with rheumatism the past week. 



Banunuculi and anemones are now 

 seen in a number of the stores. Pots 

 of the Buttercup prifnrose are displayed 

 in several. It does not appear to be 

 a great seller, however. 



F. E. Palmer, of Brookline, is one 

 of the most successful of our local bulb 

 growers. He handles some 4,000 pans of 

 tulips alone each year and he knows 

 how to grow them well, too. 



Doyle had the decorations for the An- 

 drew ball at the Somerset the past week. 

 Everything was in his best style.

The Market. 



A week of bright sunshine has pro- 

 duced a great difference in greenhouse 

 crops. Eoses are coming in plentifully 

 now, and some fine Brides, Chatenay 

 and Gates are to be seen. Prices as 

 yet have not dropped appreciably. 

 Bridesmaids have not yet reached the 

 market in good shape, but a visit among 

 the growers shows some of good quality 

 coming on. Beauties are oflF crop and 

 what few there are, are of poor sub- 

 stance. Carnations are arriving in large 

 quantities and are showing better than 

 they have in weeks. Prices have dropped 

 fully one-third, with the department 

 stores in competition with the regular 

 florists. Some fine La Heine and 

 Keizerskroon tulips are displayed and 

 some fancy prices are paicL Valley, 

 Dutch and Eoman hyacinths are not as 

 plentiful as a week ago and what are 

 offered are quickly taken. A number 

 of smnll receptions during the week 

 have kept some of the stores very busy.

250 acres laid out in natural parks, with 

 a chain of lakes full of fish and through 

 his greenhouses full of good stock. Mr. 

 Kellogg has about 325,000 feet of glass, 

 over 175,000 feet in roses, about 38,000 

 in carnations under the care of Mr. 

 Tatro. The rose houses are divided into 

 three sections, with Mr. Johnson over 

 the Beauties, Mr. Larson the Brides, 

 Maids and Chatenays and with M. F. 

 Parker general manager. Glenn Parker 

 has charge of the shipping department. 

 Mr. Kellogg will commence as soon as 

 the ground can be worked to grade 

 enough to add another 75,000 feet, 

 which will be used exclusively for car- 

 nations. In addition to this an up-to- 

 date dairy will be started this spring, 

 with a large herd of Jersey cows, which 

 will employ a large number of men in 

 addition to the thirty-five already em- 

 ployed. 



Perry Finn, proprietor of the Car- 

 thage Greenhouses, Carthage, Mo., was 

 a visitor last week, buying up a new

 much and suflPered almost a total loss, 

 having no insurance.
