\ 



is the only stand that can be raised 

 and lowered to any desired position

 and sell at $14.00 and $17.00 per doz. 



Send us $1.50 for a sample of the 

 large or $1.25 for the parlor stand.

The Market. 



Business is still good, with roses to 

 meet all demands, but a decided short- 

 age of carnations. Outdoor stuff is be- 

 ginning to show up in good quantities, 

 and will relieve the situation. Prices 

 all along the line are good and every- 

 one seems to be happy. Most of the 

 growers are busy with Decoration day 

 orders and, judging by the present de- 

 mand, there will be a decided shortage 

 on all lines of bedding plants, and one 

 of the best seasons ever enjoyed is now 

 with us. 



Various Notes. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. reports 

 the sale of five car-loads of the ever- 

 lasting tile bench last week, and a large 

 number of enquiries about the Sabin 

 plant stand. 



Smith & Fetters and the Gasser Co. 

 sent out seven loads of flowers to the 

 Todd funeral. 



John Kirschner has put on a large 

 force of men to help over the bedding 

 season. 



New Haven, Conn. — At the May 

 meeting of the New Haven Horticultural 

 Society, F. C. Thompson, of West Haven, 

 read a paper on pansies. 



Easton, Pa.— a boy driving a de- 

 livery team of John Smith, of Bethlehem 

 township, let the horses get beyond con- 

 trol, with the result that there was a 

 bad mix-up on West Washington street 

 May 9. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



There continues to be a moderate call 

 for flowers, ami as the supply has per- 

 ceptibly diminished, values have held up 

 fairly well. Koses are coming in of good 

 quality and the better grades are in 

 fair request. The street fakers secure 

 a good many of the smaller blooms. 

 Some very fine Beauty, Killarney, Rich- 

 mond, Liberty and Wellesley were noted 

 the past week. Occasional lots of Carnot 

 are also seen. 



Carnations are deteriorating in qual- 

 ity. Enchantress is coming baiUy faded 

 and Fair Maid is now preferred, as it 

 holds its color better, l.awson also has 

 a more washy look. Prices range from 

 75 cents to $3 per hundred. A few 

 double violets were seen, about the last 

 of the season. A fair supply of Yellow 

 Trumpet daffodils, tulips and Poeticus 

 narcissi are still arriving from the open. 

 Gladiolus The Bride and its colored 

 forms, Spanish iris, stocks, feverfew, 

 antirrhinum, candytuft and an a.ssort- 

 nient of other seasonable flowers are 

 seen. Prices are likely to hold up fairly 

 well until Memorial day, for growers 

 will hold back as much material as pos- 

 sible for that holiday, local retail trade 

 calling for an immense amount of ma- 

 terial over and above what goes to the 

 wholesale markets. 



Qub Meeting. 



An unusually good audience greeted 

 E. O. Orpet, the speaker at the club 

 meeting on May 15, the largest ever 

 seen at a ^lay meeting. Mr. Orpet spoke 



in a racy and very interesting way on 

 the subject selected, "The Making of 

 a Gardener," and one of the liveliest 

 discussions on record followed. Some 

 of the ideas brought out we will refer 

 to in a later issue. President Wheeler 

 read a financial report of the recent 

 club banquet and reports from the recent 

 rose and carnation banquet committees 

 showed a balance on hand of $125. The 

 coming meeting of the American Peony 

 Society was discussed and a dinner to 

 the visiting members favored. 



Some preliminary discussion regard- 

 ing the coming club picnic was indulged 

 in. Tills will probably take place in 

 August. Once more the membership 

 roll was swelled by many names, includ- 

 ing both ladies and gentlemen. There 

 were, as usual, some fine exhibits. .T. T. 

 Hutterworth showed a magnificent plant 

 of a pure white Cattleya Mossia? in a 

 7-inch pot, carrying "fifteen flowers, 

 which attracted much favorable notice. 

 Kefreshmonts were served as usual, and 

 tlio evening proved a most stimulating 

 :iiul interesting one. 



Various Notes. 



Peirce Bros, have 10,000 clumps of 

 Spiraea Japonica which will be just right 

 for Memorial day trade. 



Dahlia specialists are experiencing a 

 very heavy call at present. J. K. Alex- 

 ander, of East Bridgewater, one of the 

 largest growers in this section, has found 

 it necessary to work sixteen to twenty 

 hours daily for some time to keep 

 abreast of his orders. The cactus sec- 

 tion continues to be in heaviest demand. 



William Sim will have his usual grand 

 lot of candytuft for Memorial day. He
