The Market. 



Mention Tbe Berlew when yoa write. 



At the next meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, Robert Cameron 

 will deliver a lecture on his recent tour 

 through the West Indies. 



At Horticultural hall on January 27 

 E. W. Wood opened a discussion on 

 fruit culture in which many took part. 

 A large and interested audience was 

 present. 



Our next important horticultural event 

 will be the spring exhibition of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 combined with that of the American 

 Rose Society. It promises to be the 

 best of its kind ever seen in America. 



A delegation of convention visitors 

 journeyed by special car to Thomas F. 

 Matthews' place in Dorchester on Janu- 

 ary 25 to see the Holly-Castle electric 

 circulator in operation. They were well 

 pleased with the new invention. Re- 

 freshments were served and short 

 speeches made by Wm. Scott, E. O. Or- 

 pet and others. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club has 

 been invited to hold a field day at W. 

 W. Edgar & Co.'s on March 31. 



Mrs. J. P. Snow, of Sharon, has a 

 batch of 500 plants of a very fine sport 

 from Harlowarden. It first appeared in 

 1904. The color is bright scarlet, stem 

 and calyx Al and it is very floriferous. 

 Mrs. Snow has picked numerous stems 

 twenty-eight to thirty-four inches in 

 length and is now propagating all she 

 can of it. 



We continue to get abnormally mild 

 weather and each day we read in the 

 daily press of budding trees, sprouting 

 bulbs and other indications of spring. 

 It is certainly rare to find winter acon- 

 ites, snowdrops, dandelions, pansies, 

 Spiraea Thunbergi and Cydonia Japonica 

 in flower in January, as is the case this 

 year. 



The distribution of 10,000 compli- 

 mentary tickets swelled the attendance 

 of the public at the late show very 

 materially. The very liberal press no- 

 tices were also a great aid. 



Patten & Co.'s Mikado showed up 

 well at the late exhibition and is being 

 freely ordered by those who have seen it 

 growing. W. N. Craig. 



For more than a week we have been 

 experiencing the finest spring weather. 

 Grass is showing green and in 

 one instance dandelions are reported 

 in bloom. As a result the streets 

 are crowded every afternoon and 

 small trade has been much better. This, 

 with a number of large decorations the 

 past week, has helped things generally, 

 but there is still room for improvement. 

 Bulb stock of all kinds is coming in more 

 plentiful and better in quality. Car- 

 nations are right in crop with most of 

 the growers in this vicinity. 



Various Notes. 



Theo. F. Beckert is sending the Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co. some very fine lilac 

 and frecsia. 



A fire which partly destroyed the mar- 

 ket house January 20 kept the market 

 people out of business for several days, 

 among them Geo. Eichhorn, H. Baldinger, 

 and Chris Hausen, but they are all now 

 down to business again. Blind Brothers* 

 stand, which was enclosed in glass, was 

 entirely demolished. 



W. A. Clarke, of the Cut Flower Co., 

 was compelled to neglect some of his 

 friends the past two weeks while he did 

 jury duty. 



The Florists' Club will meet February 

 6 under the new oflScers, and the boys 

 should all be on deck to give our friend 

 John Jones the proper encouragement. 

 John has always been an honest, hard 

 worker for the club, and now that we 

 have forced him into the chairmanship, 

 let us all at least lend him the encour- 

 agement our presence will aflford. 



T. R. Dunn, the man who purchased the 

 Sid Gibb's place at Woodville, Pa., says 

 he does not pretend to know the business, 

 but that he has a competent man in 

 charge and expects by another season to 

 be heard from. 



J. J. Fuchs, of the south side, is re- 

 decorating the interior of his store, and 

 with his conservatory on the second floor 

 in the rear of his store, which he has 

 stocked with a lot of new palms, his 

 place is up-to-date in every respect. 



Carl Hagenburger, of Mentor, Ohio, 

 was one of the visitors who got in Sun- 

 day from Boston. 



Charlie Crall was the only man to
