WASHINGTON. 



The Market, 



One of the coldest waves of the win- 

 ter struck Washington February 22, but 

 seemed to affect the stores in no way, as 

 little vacant space is found. Trade is 

 brisk and prices still remain high, owing 

 ing to a scarcity, especially of cut flow- 

 ers. There was a rather large shipment 

 of carnations into the District from 

 Pennsylvania Saturday, which caused a 

 slight stagnation in the market. Not- 

 withstanding an abundance of sunshine 

 home-grown flowers are still scarce and 

 readily command good prices. Lilac is 

 rather plentiful and is the best seller 

 just now. Good azaleas at reasonable 

 prices are in abundance but move slowly. 

 Bulbous stock is not so much in evidence 

 since the beginning of the Lenten season, 

 as most growers are retaining the bulk 

 of their stock for Easter. There are a 

 good many dinners among the society 

 people, which aflford the retailers con- 

 siderable decorative work. 



Variotts Notes. 



The next regular monthly meeting of 

 the Washington Florists' Club, and the 

 annual election of officers, will take place 

 at Gude's hall, 1214 F street, N. W., 

 March 5. This will be an important 



meeting, the last prior to convention. 

 We should be glad to see any of our out- 

 of-town friends who happen to be in the 

 city that night. 



Enchantress is endeavoring to be long 

 remembered not only for its value to 

 the trade as it now stands, but by reason 

 of its descendent, Rose-pink Enchantress. 

 We hear of the latter from several sec- 

 tions of the country. Two fine sports, 

 so far as is known identical with the 

 first, have favored at least two Wash- 

 ington growers this season. J. L. C. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Trade is slower than a week ago. 

 Flowers are much more abundant, with 

 the single exception of roses, which still 

 continue scarce. The weather has been 

 unusually severe, the lowest readings of 

 the winter being recorded February 23 

 and 24. Roses are not yet sufficient for 

 demands and prices hold up remarkably 

 well. Beauties are scarce, of the bet- 

 ter grades, but more Richmond and Lib- 

 erty are seen. Killarney is coming in of 

 fine quality and maintains its popularity. 

 Bride and Maid should be fairly plenti- 

 ful within a few days. 



No particular change in prices of 



either carnations or violets is noted, al- 

 though both are selling slower than a 

 week ago. Bulbous stocS is in large sup- 

 ply, but there is no glut as in previous 

 years. Sweet peas keep about $1 per 

 hundred and are fine from several grow- 

 ers. Lilies and callas are sufficient for all 

 requirements. Some good antirrhinum is 

 seen, bringing up to $2 per dozen stalks. 

 A variety of other spring flowers are now 

 coming in. Smilax is rather scarce, but 

 adiantum and Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri are in good supply. 



Various Notes. 



Welch Bros, report business as excel- 

 lent. In their commodious new quarters 

 they will be able to handle a tremendous 

 Easter trade in plants and flowers and 

 they expect it to far exceed all past 

 years. 



Mann Bros., who are large bulb grow- 

 ers, are bringing in fine lots of that 

 beautiful double orange tulip, Couronne 

 d'Or. 



There was a large attendance at th,e 

 funeral of Mrs. William R. Nicholson, 

 at Framingham, February 22, including 

 many in the trade. The floral designs 

 were numerous and beautiful. The sin- 

 cere sympathy of a large number of 

 friends goes out to Mr. Nicholson in his 

 bereavement. 



A large number of florists and gar-
