The Market 



Conditions are somewhat improved 

 compared to a week ago. No tancy 

 prices are being obtained, but stock on 

 the whole is clearing up oetter, the de- 

 mand being nearly equal to the supply. 

 The weather now is such that fakers can 

 ply their trade daily and this relieves a 

 good deal of the congestion which would 

 otherwise take place. Roses are much 

 more abundant and the poorer grades 

 are harder to move. Some very fine 

 Beauties and Queen of Edgely are now 

 arriving and the best continue to make 

 $50 to $60 per hundred. On Brides, 

 Maids, Chatenays, Wellesleys and Kil- 



larneys prices vary from $4 to $12 per 

 hundred, a small number of fancies go- 

 ing a trifle higher. 



Carnations make $2 for ordinary, 

 fancies going at $4, with a few higher. 

 Violets are very little changed. In spite 

 of the heavy output of tuese, few are 

 unsold. From 35 cents to 75 cents are 

 outside quotations, 40 cents to 50 cents 

 being a good average price. Bulbous 

 stock makes from $1.50 to $2. Some 

 Murillo tulips sell at $3 to $4. Quite 

 a few Orange Phoenix narcissi are seen. 

 Callas and Easter lilies are abundant. 

 The latter sell rather the better, at $10 

 to $12.50 per hundred. Green stock is 

 abundant and of fine quality. Sham- 

 rocks are in heavy demand this week, 

 varying in price from 50 cents to $2 

 per dozen, the latter being for small 

 pans. Varieties are as numerous as ever, 

 each store having its special brand lab- 

 eled the "genuine" article.. 



American Rose Society. 



Unless all signs fail the coming exhi- 

 bition will prove a record breaking one 

 in every way. Not only will exhibits far 

 surpass those of 1905, but the attend- 

 ance of rosarians from a distance will 

 be fully double that of a year ago. 



Tlie annual banquet to be given the 

 visiting delegates of the Rose Society 

 by the horticultural interests of Boston 

 under the auspices of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club will take place on 

 Saturday evening, March 24, at the 

 Hotel Brunswick, Boylston street. Tickets 

 are purchasable from James Wheeler, 

 Alex. Montgomery, P. Welch, W. J. 

 Stewart and J. K. M. L. Farquhar. No 

 tickets will be sold after Marcn 23.

American Rose Society, will be more ex- 

 tensive than ever before. Already prac- 

 tically all available space is applied for 

 and diflSculty will be found in accommo- 

 dating late applicants. Rambler and

 azaleas, cyclamens, cinerarias and bulb- 

 ous stock will be special features. Car- 

 nations will also be extensively shown. 



Band concerts will be given on Satur- 

 day and Sunday afternoons and even- 

 ings. These always swell the attendance 

 largely.

 hundred-foot group of their new Neph-

 the prime attractions of the show.
