The Market. 



The week has proved to be one of 

 extreme dullness, not relieved hj a sin- 

 gle break. Far too much material has 

 been arriving and low prices have ruled 

 in some lines to allow of a clearance be- 

 ing made. A slightly improved tone is 

 now noticeable, due in large part to the 

 close approach of Memorial day, which 

 calls for an ever-increasing amount of 

 stock. Eoses, with the warmer weather, 

 now show signs of deterioration. Carna- 

 tions , however, are of good quality. 

 Double violets have just made their exit. 

 Sweet peas are abundant and of good 

 quality. Bulbous stock is plentiful, from 

 outdoors, and sells rather slowly. Glad- 

 ioli, both the large hybrids and the vari- 

 ous forms of Colvillei and nanus, are 

 good, as are Spanish iris. 



Stocks are plentiful but sell poorly. 

 An avalanche will be forthcoming for 

 Memorial day, and there promises to be 

 plenty of marguerites, snapdragon, 

 candytuft and other material. Green 

 stock remains about the same. 



Many growers are now busy with bed- 

 ding plants, trade in which, owing to the 

 cold weather, is later than usual in com- 

 mencing. Among the flowering plants. 



good rhododendrons, Lilium elegans and 

 tigrinum and plenty of hydrangeas are 

 seen. 



The weather continues unusually cold, 

 with frosts and some local damage May 

 21 and 22. 



Qub Meeting. 



The month of May is a specially busy 

 one for gardeners and florists, but the 

 attendance May 21 proved the largest 

 the club has ever had in May. There 

 were 120 present. The subject of bed- 

 ding plants was handled by three speak- 

 ers. W. N. Craig treated bulbs, con- 

 fining his remarks chiefly to tulips, daffo- 

 dils and hyacinths, and enumerating the 

 best varieties of each and the best ways 

 to plant them effectively. President 

 Westwood, who is noted for his bedding 

 at Forest Hill cemetery, gave an in- 

 teresting paper on tender bedding plants, 

 while Frederic J. Eea, of the Norwood 

 Nurseries, treated of herbaceous plants 

 and the best to use for bedding pur- 

 poses. The evening was altogether too 

 short to allow of a thorough discussion 

 of all the papers, which were limited 

 to ten minutes each, but many members 

 discussed them and some interesting 

 points were brought out. Among those 

 who spoke were J. W. Duncati, Kenneth 

 Finlayson, F. E. Palmer, Wm. Elliott, 



James Morton, Duncan Finlayson, and 

 James Wheeler. 



It was voted to have a mid-summer 

 picnic and an invitation was read, from 

 W. W. Bawson, inviting the club to visit 

 his Marblehead dahlia farm in Septem- 

 ber. Several queries from the question 

 box were disposed of and a number of 

 new members admitted. 



Seasonable exhibits were numerous 

 and included Carnation Alma Ward, 

 from Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.; Trol- 

 lius Japonica Excelsior, from Julius 

 Heurlein, South Braintree, Mass., which 

 received a report of merit; Daphne 

 cneorum, from T. H. Westwood; Gladi- 

 olus Peach Blossom, from R. & J, Far- 

 quhar & Co.; White Killarney rose, 

 from Waban Conservatories; Salvia ar- 

 gentea, from H. A. Stevens Co.; Pal- 

 metto asparagus, from Wilfrid Wheeler. 



Refreshments were served and it was, 

 as usual, quite late before the meeting 

 adjourned. No meetings will be held 

 after June 18 until September 18. 



'Various Notes. 



Although there were no prizes offered, 

 a splendid lot of seasonable flowers were 

 on exhibition at Horticultural hall on 

 May 18, and it was decidd4--to keep the 

 show open on the following day. M. 

 Sullivan, gardener to W. Whitman, had
