 to side, will be the showcases, with glass 

 fronts. The windows will be extended 

 outward four feet, making a swell front. 

 Among the many designs ready for de- 

 livery last Sunday by this firm was a 

 casket cover in which violets and lilies of 

 the valley were used exclusively. 



Still another firm to move is Geny 

 Bros., who, after February 1, will occupy 

 the whole of the present store, the tailor- 

 ing establishment in the other half mov- 

 ing next door. TTiey have been cramped 

 for room and the change will be a wel- 

 come one to this enterprising firm. 



C. A. Birn is building up a nice busi-

A. J. McBride has opened a retail 

 store on Broad street, next door to C. A. 

 Birn. 



The State Fair Association intends to 

 extend its list of prizes for this year, 

 besides furnishing a special building for 

 the horticultural exhibits. J. S.

 intends building two carnation houses, 

 14x90 and 20x100 respectively, as soon as 

 spring opens.

The Market 



January is proving itself an almost 

 sunless month. The last week has been 

 an especially dark one and production 

 has been seriously curtailed as a conse- 

 quence. Cut flower prices have advanced 

 sharply, especially in the case of roses, 

 in which there has been almost a famine. 

 These have brought Christmas prices and 

 even more in the short-stemmed classes. 

 Brides and Maids, which are usually 

 procurable in quantity at $3 to $4 per 

 hundred, advanced to $8 and the better 

 grades sold as high as $3 to $4 per 

 dozen. Beauties are scarce and the best 

 have made $9 to $12 per dozen. Kil- 

 larney continues popular and is being 

 more and more used. Prices on this, as 

 well as Chatenay, Wellesley and other 

 sorts, are all much higher. Richmonds 

 are proving great sellers and are far 

 more used in funeral designs than Beau- 

 ties. A few warm, clear days will cause 

 a slump, but with continued dark skies 

 high prices must continue. One promi- 

 nent retailer is buying heavily in New 

 York to offset the local deficiency. 



Carnations are somewhat higher, but 

 about enough are coming in for needs. 

 Violets are not keeping up like other 

 flowers; 75 cents seems to be top price, 

 and a good many are disposed of at 50 

 cents per hundred, or even less. Singles 

 still sell the best. Callas and Easter 

 lilies are not overpleutiful. Freesias sell 

 well. Dutch bulbous stock never sold 

 better. Prices on tulips and narcissi are 

 good for the season. Fewer growers are 

 bringing in Eomans and Paper Whites 

 and as a consequence ice-chests are not 

 loaded with these as in former years. 

 Some good mignonette and antirrhinum 

 are seen. In the way of choicer flowers, 

 gardenias are meeting with good sales 

 at the better class stores and cattleya.s, 

 chiefly Triansp, are being used a good 

 deal for funerals. Cypripediums insigne 

 and villosum are seen in quantity. 



Various Notes. 

 A. A. Ilixon, of Worcester, lectured 

 at Horticultural hall January 19, his 

 subject being ''Peach Growing in New 

 England." There were also short and 

 practical papers on the same subject by 

 Messrs. Morse and Parker. The papers 

 and discussion occupied over two hours
