The Market. 



Business the past week has been very 

 slow, the demand being much less than 

 for the corresponding week of last year, 

 but fortunately the supply has been lim- 

 ited, so there has been but little loss, 

 violets both single and double being the 

 worst sufferers. The slow business was 

 caused by the very pleasant weather we 

 have been having. Prices are quoted the 

 same as last week, but lots of stuff has 

 been jobbed at lower prices. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club's smoker was a suc- 



cess in every way, the large crowd en- 

 joying themselves very much, and the 

 discussions on eel worms by some of our 

 leading growers brought out some very 

 different ideas on this important subject. 

 Arguments of this kind cannot help but 

 do good for all the members, and many 

 of them would like to see an exhibition 

 of the members' skill, in producing cut 

 flowers or plants, something nice that 

 they have grown and were willing to 

 place on exhibition. A meeting of this 

 kind once a month would surely bring 

 out a big crowd, and then to wind uj> 

 the season by holding a flower show at 

 one of the armories for the education of 

 the public would do much good in many 

 ways. 



H. R. Carlton and wife, of Willoughby, 

 will take in the coming carnation con- 

 vention at Boston. It being his old home 

 he will certainly liave a pleasant time re- 

 newing old friendships. Guy Bate, presi- 

 dent of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Taken on the whole the market is very 

 good, better than at the same season for 

 some years. The dull season, which 

 usually lasts for a month after Christ- 

 mas, is this year less pronounced. The 

 supply of both roses and carnations is 

 smaller and each of these chief staples 

 is selling very well. 



American Beauties sell for from $6 

 to ,$9 per dozen for the best. Brides and 

 .Maids vary from .$3 to .$12 per hundred, 

 a very few selling higher. Some very 

 good Chatenay are coming in and sell 

 well at from ,$4 to $1(5. Liberty is 

 abundant and lower in price; same rates 

 as Chatenay. Excellent Killarney are com- 

 ing in and sell well, also Wellesley. Some 

 very fine Kichmond are seen and bring 

 higher prices than Liberty, which latter it 

 will largely displace next year. Some 

 very good Mrs. Oliver Amos and ^lor- 

 gan are also seen. 



Select carnations bring .$4. Enchan- 

 tress, Fenn and Mrs. Patten are now espe- 

 cially fine. Other grades vary from $2 

 to $.3. Prosperity varies froin $5 to $8, 

 but only comes from a few growers. Vio- 

 lets run from 60 cents to $1 per hundred. 

 Both Campbell and Princess of Wales are 

 now of splendid quality. Sweet peas 

 vary from .50 cents to $l"..10 per hundred. 

 The higher priced arc very fine. There 

 is more variety in bulbous stock. Golden 

 Spur and double Von Sion narcissi come 

 from several growers, in addition to
