The Market 



Prices slumped rather badly last week, 

 due to the increased arrivals of chrysan- 

 mums and to the heavy supplies of other 

 flowers consequent on the abnormally 

 warm weather. Growers are hoping for 

 a severe freeze, which will lessen produc- 

 tion and stiffen prices. Chrysanthemums 

 are considerably lower, from $4 to $12 

 being the range of prices, some special 

 blooms making $2 to $3 per dozen. Some 

 of the later sorts like Bonnaffon, Mrs. 

 Jerome Jones and Eaton, are already 

 seen, while Col. Appleton, Cheltoni and 

 other midseason sorts are of good qual- 

 ity. Clementine Touset is one of the 

 most popular varieties at the stores. 

 Carnations are becoming overabundant 

 and prices have a downward tendency. 

 Fair Maid is one of the best sellers. 



Boses are much harder to move, and 

 for the next two or three weeks will be 

 decidedly druggy. Quite a number of 

 short stems are cleared at $1, while some 

 extra fine blooms fetch $6 to $8. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are of fine quality, but do 

 not sell well, owing to the presence of so 

 many chrysanthemums. Violets are very 

 abundant, and the quality is excellent. 

 Some of the finest singles come from 

 outdoors, where plants are at present 

 blue with flowers. Good blooms bring 50 

 cents, a few specials 75 cents, but 35 

 cents has to be taken for ordinary 

 stock. Tuberoses are 60 cents per dozen 

 stalks. Lily of the valley sells fairly 

 well at $3 to $4. Lilies are not plenti- 

 ful. Quite a good supply of scarlet, pink 

 and white bouvardia is coming in. There 

 is no change in green stock. 



Flower Market Banquet. 



The stallholders of the Boston Co- 

 operative Flower Growers' Association, 

 better known as the Park street market, 

 had their annual banquet and business 

 session at Young's hotel on the evening 

 of October 27. After the inner man had 

 been abundantly satisfied with good 

 things, W. C. Stickel, as toastmaster, 

 called on several present for remarks. 

 J. W. Duncan and "W. N. Craig respond- 

 ed for the press. Andrew Chris iansen 

 gave a short account of a receni Euro- 

 pean trip. W. H. Elliott described hor- 

 ticultural progress as seen in visits to

 impressed with the marvelous blooming 

 qualities of roses transplanted from tin 

 cans at Havana. F. E. Mathieson gave 

 an interesting account of a recent visit 

 to California, Arizona, New Mexico,

At the business session the treasurer 

 gave the financial statement for the year 

 ending September 30, 1906. Cash on 

 hand October 1, 1905, was $6,677.31; re- 

 ceipts from interest, $383.79; receipts 

 from rents, premiums, etc., $9,499.28; 

 total receipts, $16,560.38. After paying 

 the runing expenses and making consid- 

 erable betterments in the market a cash 

 balance of $6,464.49 remains on hand, 

 which is a most excellent showing. It 

 was voted to pay a dividend of twenty 

 per cent, or $5 per share, to stockhold- 

 ers. The following board of directors 

 was chosen : W. W. Edgar, E. A. Pierce, 

 Alex. Montgomery, E. Sutermeister, 

 Lester Mann and A. Christiansen. George 

 Cartwright remains treasurer, Joseph E. 

 Free manager, and other officials as in 

 1905-6. 



Variouv Notes. 



A good exhibition at Horticultural 

 hall on November 2, 3 and 4 is assured, 

 but a better one would have been forth- 

 coming had the dates been a week later. 

 Owing to the hot summer and warm fall 

 chrysanthemums are unusually late this 

 season and pot plants are especially 

 backward. There is a strong list of en- 

 tries for the decorated dinner-tables on

Henry M. Robinson & Co. have made 

 extensive alterations and improvements 

 at 15 Province street and have embarked 

 in the cut flower commission business, 

 opening in this line on October 29. They 

 will do a strictly wholesale business; no 

 goods whatsoever will be sold at retail. 

 The members of the firm have built up 

 an excellent business in green stock and 

 florists' supplies during the last few 

 years, due to strict attention to business 

 and honest trading methods, and we feel 

 sure they will do well in the new line 

 just entered. They report fall trade in 

 green goods and sundries as the best 

 they ever had.
