ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



Roman hyacinths have been strongly 

 in evidence in the Covent Garden market, 

 London, for some weeks and a good 

 business has been done, considering the 

 heavy (luantities on the market. This 

 is, in a great measure, due to the action 

 of the bulb growers' combine in the 

 French hyacinth districts, forcing up the 

 price of bulbs for the last four years or 

 so, making them quite prohibitive to the 

 ordinary grower. It might have been 

 plain to the French growers, at the 

 outset, that such a holding up of prices 

 and consequent holding of stock could 

 not last and would do them no good, but 

 simply load them with unsold stock. The 

 result is as might be expected. Prices 

 last year for best bulbs were in some 

 cases low, one grower securing a first- 

 sized lot of 70,000 as low as 28 shillings 

 per thousand, against as much as 84 

 shillings in previous years. 



In one way, good has been done, as 

 during the time of these high prices for 

 bulbs few, if any, blooms of Eomans 

 were ever seen on our markets, giving 

 the public an entire change from this 

 particular flower, of which they had had, 

 for a long time, an over-supply. This 

 year, the bulbs being comparatively 

 cheap last fall, growers have utilized 

 them in large lots and they have come 

 into the markets, meeting a fresh and 

 healthy demand, which has rapidly 

 cleared the supplies at profitable prices.

 retired from the business and has been 

 succeeded by Harry W. Denlinger. 



GoRHAM, Me. — Nathaniel Hannaford 

 says there has been more of a demand 

 for flowers than could be supplied. 

 Prices are high, especially on carnations. 

 Plants are making good growth, but do 

 not flower. 



Dayton, 0. — Warren 0. Matthews, of 

 the Dayton Floral Co., reports Christ- 

 mas trade this season the best ever.

 plants. Holly was in demand, but of 

 poor quality. 



Montgomery, Ala. — The Riverside 

 Co. has been incorporated by William 

 B. Marks, H. C. Borden and Paul T. 

 Sayre to conduct a dairy, engage in mar- 

 ket gardening, fruit-raising, etc. Capi- 

 tal stock is $25,000. 



Short Hills, N. J.— The firm of An- 

 derson & Christensen has dissolved part- 

 nership, J, F. Anderson having purchased 

 the interest of Thomas P. Christensen. 

 The houses are all stocked with good, 

 salable plants in first-class condition, 



Olney, III. — The Wilson Floral Co. 

 has purchased Mrs. Stauflfer 's greenhouse 

 and added the same to its plant. This 

 company has now about 14,000 feet of 

 glass and grows lettuce, carnations and 

 general stock.
