 visitors for renlarks. A. C. Brown in 

 his talk made well pointed remarks. 

 Luther Armstrong, one of the charter 

 members of the club and its first secre- 

 tary, was present and told us how the 

 club was organized twenty years ago. 

 A. S. Halstead and J. F. Ammann also 

 made a few remarks for the good of 

 the club. The question box brought out 

 a good discussion. 



W. C. Smith, chairman of the trus- 

 tees, acted as auctioneer and sold the 

 prize-winners at a good price. The next 

 meeting is March 14 at 2 o'clock. 



Variout Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, is visiting

The Market 



We have had some let-up in wintry 

 conditions and the milder weather has 

 considerably increased the supply of 

 flowers. Business, however, for Lent, 

 remains quite good. Valentine's day 

 saw a strong demand for violets and 

 the market generally was good. Ameri- 

 can Beauties remain up to top notch 

 figures and are still scarce, especially 

 the better grades. Richmond meets a 

 good sale at slightly lower prices. While 

 more Bride, Maid, Wellesley, Killarney 

 and other sorts are coming in and prices 

 have weakened a little, there has been 

 as yet no surplus. 



Violets are arriving in heavy quanti- 

 ties, but have sold fairly well, singles, 

 as usual, taking the lead. Sweet peas 

 bring an average of $1 per hundred. 

 Carnations are more plentiful and rather 



lower. The quality of these is extra 

 good at present. The increased amount 

 of sunlight has improved the stems. 



Golden Spur narcissi make $3 per 

 hundred, double Von Sions $2. Tulips 

 keep about the same. Callas and Easter 

 lilies are rather more plentiful. Hya- 

 cinths make 75 cents and $1 per dozen 

 stalks, but are not in much demand. 

 Some nice mignonette, English prim- 

 roses and antirrhinum are coming in. 

 Valley is of fine quality and meets with 

 a steady sale. In orchids, cattleyas are 

 growing scarce. Dendrobiums nobile 

 and Wardianum and Coelogyne cristata 

 are, however, in good supply. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists ' Club at Horticultural hall again 

 drew a big attendance February 19, 

 about 150 being present. The executive 

 committee met many growers who use 

 steam heat prior to the regular meeting 

 and discussed the threatened legislation. 

 The club unanimously voted to oppose 

 the proposed legislation, as it will affect 

 florists and market gardeners, and a
