The Weekly Florists' Review. 



.Janoabt 9, 1908. 



from an attack of grippe. He fa bring- 

 ing in his usual heavy supplies of bulb- 

 ous stock to the market. 



William Nicholson is cutting some 

 splendid mignonette of Dailledouze 's 

 strain. He reports a fine demand for 

 Afterglow carnation. 



Arthur T. Kidder's single violets are 

 again of splendid quality and are cleared 

 out quickly. 



• Later reports from various towns and 

 cities in Massachusetts indicate that 

 Christmas trade equaled that of 1906 in 

 nearly every case and occasionally sur- 

 passed it. W. N. Craig. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



/ 



The Market. 



Trade in cut flowers has been rather 

 quiet since January 1. Funeral work 

 has been good, using up large quantities 

 of flowers. Carnations are now selling 

 at 60 cents per dozen retail. There is 

 a good supply. Violets have sold poorly ; 

 $1.50 per hundred is the retail price. 

 Koses are selling from $1.50 to $2 per 

 dozen retail. A few tulips are now com- 

 ing in. These sell at 60 cents per dozen 

 retail. Paper Whites bring 50 cents per 

 dozen retail. 



Various Notes. 



H. A. Jahn is cutting large quanti- 

 ties of his new white seedling carnation, 

 Lloyd. Mr. Jahn has two or three 

 promising seedlings that will be heard 

 from later, 



Wm. P, Pierce is picking some fine 

 violets. 



S. S. Peckham, of Fairhaven, is listing 

 some thirty varieties of carnations this 

 year. He is trying out nearly all the 

 newer varieties. He will grow about 

 500 of H. A, Jahn 's new white, Lloyd. 



J. H. Cleary, on Pleasant street, 

 handles goldfish, bird food and fish food 

 as a side line and in the spring has a 

 large trade in flowers and vegetable 

 seeds. 



R. E. Noflftz is picking some nice 

 sweet peas. These sell at $1 per hundred 

 retail. 



Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, is pick- 

 ing some nice Winsor carnations at his 

 new place. 



It is rumored that Fred C. Coull, 

 formerly with E. H. Chamberlain, will 

 start a new flower store in the near 

 future. W. L. 



Greene, N. Y, — Le Roy Ford has just 

 completed a new greenhouse. 



Please stop my advertisements in the 

 classified columns; the stock is all sold. — 

 Louis Bauscher, PVeeport, HI. 



Enclosed please find $1 for subscrip- 

 tion to the Review. Please see that I do 

 not miss any numbers. — John Evans, 

 Watertown, Conn. 



The Review, like wine, is improving 

 with age. I cannot spare it; am always 

 glad to welcome it as an old friend. — 

 Paul Stakk, Liberty, Mo. 



GOBHAM, Me. — N. W. Hannaford is 

 building an addition 21x40 feet. He is 

 also widening an old house five feet, 

 making its total dimensions 21x80, and 

 he intends to add eighty feet more next 

 summer, besides building a new boiler- 

 house and potting-shed, 24x28. He had 

 a good sale of Christmas trees and 

 wreaths, nearly double the business of 

 the previous CSiristmas.
