The Market 



The long delayed winter has at last 

 arrived. January gave us clear skies and 

 110 snow until the 24th, which furnished 

 lis with a northeast snowstorm. News- 

 paper paragraphs about dandelions, daf- 

 fodils, snowdrops and other spring flow- 

 ers blooming outdoors are temporarily 

 suspended, but the late arrival of cold 

 weather, with the longer days we are now 

 enjoying, will make the winter less felt 

 than usual. Business remains fairly good 

 in the flower markets. Eoses are not 

 .vet overabundant and sell well. The 

 jiumber of American Beauties arriving 

 's hardly up to the requirements. Rich- 



mond, Killarney and Chatenay are all 

 selling well. The quality of Brides and 

 Maids is now excellent, the colder and 

 clear weather improving them. Carna- 

 tions are abundant and have fallen in 

 vjilue, although white and light pink 

 shades are selling better than the higher 

 colored sorts. 



Violets are not selling quite so well, 

 but sweet peas clear out very well. Some 

 of these are of splendid quality. In 

 bulbous stock there are now several va- 

 rieties of tulips in addition to La Reine, 

 but the latter is in heaviest demand. 

 Golden Spur narcissus is very good. Pa- 

 per Whites and Roman hyacinths are in 

 good supply. Bulbous flowers are sell- 

 ing a little better than early in the 

 month. In green stock, adiantum is not 



so good or abundant as it was, but 

 Sprengeri and plumosus are each in 

 ample supply and meeting with a good 

 call. 



Exhibition. 



The first show of the year at Horti- 

 cultural hall, January 25, was an in- 

 teresting one, there being some fine ex- 

 hibits. Carnations were the feature 

 among cut flowers and filled several 

 tables. For twenty-five white, Patten & 

 Co. led with White Perfection; Backer 

 & Co., second with the same variety, and 

 third with Puritana. In scarlets, S. J. 

 Goddard won with fine Beacons; Patten 

 & Co., second with Beacon; Backer & 

 Co., third with Firefly, a good seedling, 

 its only drawback being lack of stem.
