The Market 



Hoses are slowly recovering from the 

 scarcity which has prevailed for several 

 weeks. They are none too plentiful yet, 

 however, and prices hold up well. Car- 

 nations are rather more abundant and 

 prices have weakened somewhat. Vio- 

 lets are procurable at 25 cents and up- 

 wards. Growers of best singles are get- 

 ting 50 cents to 75 cents. Dafifodils are 

 more abundant and sell a trifle lower. 

 They clean out well. Golden Spur and 

 double Von Sion are leaders. Campan- 

 ulas are quite plentiful. La Eeine con- 

 tinues the leader in tulips, which are 

 also meeting with good sales. Easter 



lilies and callas are each in rather short 

 supply and prices rule firm. 



Some fine mignonette is arriving. The 

 best realizes $1 per dozen. Pansies, 

 primroses, wallflowers and other early 

 spring flowers are seen. There is a fair 

 demand for lily of the valley. Best sweet 

 peas still make $1.50 per hundred and 

 sell readily. Prices on green stock re- 

 main about the same. 



Pot plants are meeting with a better 

 sale. Cyclamens, Dutch bulbous stock 

 and azaleas are th«> three leaders. Lent 

 will soon be here, and some slump in 

 price is likely then, with the dropping 

 of social festivities. 



Various Notes. 



The lecture by George T. Powell on 



"The Renovation of an Old Apple Or- 

 chard" drew a large audience to Horti- 

 cultural hall February 2, every seat in 

 the lecture hall being taken. The num- 

 erous questions asked proved that the 

 subject was of great interest to the au- 

 dience. 



William "Whitman, M. Sullivan gar- 

 dener, received a cultural certificate for 

 a splendidly flowered specimen plant of 

 Cattleya Trianse at Horticultural hall 

 February 2. 



Prospects are bright for an attractive 

 list of special prizes at the chrysanthe- 

 mum show next November. 



Some exhibits of new carnations and 

 other interesting features will be in- 

 cluded in the next club meeting program, 

 February 19, which all should plan to 

 attend. 



William C. Rust, of Brookline, was 

 operated on for appendicitis February 3. 

 At last report he was doing nicely, and 

 we hope for his early convalescence. 



S. J. Goddard and others visited C. W. 

 Ward's establishment on their way home 

 from Toronto, and found everything in 

 grand condition. 



WilUam Nicholson visited Richmond, 

 Ind., after the convention and will ac- 

 company home Mrs. Nicholson, wlke was 

 visiting there. 



J. W. Duncan is the lecturer at Horti- 

 cultural hall on February 9 and should 

 have a large audience. 



Frank J. Dolansky, of Lynn, is pro- 

 ducing quantities ot the finest Mont 

 Blanc sweet peas we have seen in win- 

 ter. They meet with quick sales at the 

 Park street market.
