up with our orders?" This company 

 has established an enviable reputation 

 for the quality of its stock and prompt- 

 ness in delivery. 



The Millbrook Lea Greenhouses, of 

 Whitford, Pa., are sending Wm. J. 

 Moore fine sweet peas from the range 

 of houses that were injured by fire last 

 winter. No time was wasted in getting 

 up the stock. 



D. T. Connor, of Lord & Burnham Co., 

 addressed the Florists' Club last Tues- 

 day evening on the subject of improved 

 methods of greenhouse building. He 

 was listened to with great interest. 



The seedsmen are having an excep- 

 tionally busy week. The Henry F. 

 Michell Co. reports business extremely 

 active. 



W. E. McKissiek has installed a new 

 branch telephone exchange, a first step 

 toward increased facilities for handling 

 business. 



Paul Berkowitz reports the receipt of 

 10,000 pounds of fresh capes. Phil.

BOSTON. 



The Market 



Conditions show some improvement 

 over a week ago. Receipts of several 

 staples have materially decreased and 

 this has relieved the congestion to some 

 extent. Roses sell a little better all 

 around, principally owing to reduced 

 supply. There is no particular advance 

 in price, however. Carnations are doing 

 a little better and vary from $1.50 to 

 $3 per hundred, with a few fancies at 

 $4. These are still of very good qual- 

 ity, due to the absence of any very 

 warm weather yet. Violets are getting 

 scarce. Such as arrive are getting 

 smaller. They average 50 cents per hun- 

 dred. Sweet peas are not abundant and 

 still sell at 75 cents per hundred. 



The supply of indoor bulbous stock 

 is very much reduced and the present 

 week will see about an end of forced or 

 retarded tulips and narcissi. Prices on 

 these are a little stiflfer. Quite a num- 

 ber of outdoor narcissi are now arriving 

 and some tulips also. Callas and Eas- 

 ter lilies are not in much demand. Mar- 



guerites, if of good quality, sell well, 

 and Spanish iris meets with a fair sale. 

 There is a moderate call for asparagus 

 and adiautum. 



Qub Banquet. 



Ideal weather favore^ the banquet of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club at 

 Horticultural hall on April 25. Over 

 300 members, with many lady friends, 

 were present. A reception was held by 

 the officers of the club and their wives 

 prior to the banquet. Tne tables were 

 set in the main exhibition hall and were 

 beautifully decorated with plants and 

 cut flowers, the gift of a number of the 

 members as well as some of the retail 

 florists. The stage of the lecture hall, 

 where dancing later was enjoyed, was 

 banked with choice flowering plants and 

 palms and presented a very pleasing ap- 

 pearance. 



The banquet flienu was one of the 

 best ever served at any florists' gather- 

 ing in Boston and was a great credit 

 to the club. One short address of wel- 

 come from President "Wheeler was the 

 only speech of the evening ere he intro- 

 duced the entertainers, who included
