The continuation of severe weather 

 has played havoc with the cut flower 

 business, which is in a worse condition 

 than for years at this season. The low 

 temperature has prevented the street 

 fakers plying their vocation. These peo- 

 ple handle a large quantity of flowers 

 and their absence as buyers is appreci- 

 ably felt. The cold weather has affected 

 the output of roses and these are sell- 

 ing better than other flowers. Brides and 

 Maids are going well and Beauties are 

 realizing good prices. Bichmond, Kil- 

 lamey, Chatenay and Wellesley are also 

 selling tolerably well. Of carnations it 

 must be said that the glut is one of the 

 worst ever seen during the winter sea- 

 son, and prices have come down with 

 a dull thud, a good many flowers being 

 sold as low as $10 per thousand, but 

 even at the low prices the demand is 

 unequal to the supply. 



Violets are only selling moderately 

 well. Severely cold weather always hurts 

 the sale of these. Bulbous stock is in 

 heavy oversupply. Best quality sweet 

 peas are selling well, but there is but a 



limited call for second grades. There 

 is a good supply of Harrisii and specio- 

 sum lilies, with a poor demand. Freesia 

 is selling poorly, as is lily of the valley. 

 Other flowers are meeting with a slow 

 sale, but it is hoped the congestion of 

 business will be short-lived. 



A. H. Hews & Co. 



A. H. Hews & Co., of Cambridge, 

 Mass., the world's largest makers of 

 flower pots, are now running their plant 

 to its full capacity, after a partial cur- 

 tailment last month, due to heavy ad- 

 ditions made to meet the increasing de- 

 mands for their goods. Two new boilers, 

 kilns, dynamo and special machinery for 

 preparing clay have been installed, until 

 today their output has been heavily in- 

 creased. 



The firm has maintained a large ware- 

 house in Long Island City, but has now 

 opened a similar branch in Chicago to 

 facilitate the handling of the growing 

 western business. 



Messrs. Hews & Co. have constantly in 

 mind the welfare and pleasure of their 

 employees and have provided for them 

 a recreation room, 25x35, with pool and 

 billiard tables, various games and read- 

 ing matter. 



The outlook for a prosperous year is 

 bright and, from heavy advance orders 

 received, indications are that the plant 

 will be run to its full capacity to fill 

 orders from all parts of the country. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to all the halls of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society being rented 

 for the week during which the regular 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club was to be held, a postponement of 

 carnation night to February 25 has been 

 found necessary. In addition to W. E. 

 Pierson, there will be quite a number 

 of others from a distance who will par- 

 ticipate in the discussion, including F. 

 B. Pierson and H. A. Jahn. 



William Turner, of Oceanic, N. J., who 

 was the lecturer before the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society February 8, 

 gave an eminently practical talk on 

 greenhouse vegetables, lettuce, radishes, 

 beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and rhubarb 

 being principally dealt with. Among 

 those taking part in the resultant dis- 

 cussion were: W. W. Bawson, George 

 D. Moore, J. W. Duncan, James Wheel- 

 er, Wilfrid Wheeler and others. 



Among additional special premiums to 

 be offered at the Park street market ex- 

 hibition February 29, will be a cup valued 

 at $25, from A. C. Zvolanek, for two 

 vases containing 200 spikes each of 

 Christmas Pink and Florence Denzer 

 sweet peas; $25 from James Wheeler for 

 the best new violet, and $6 and $4 from 

 F. E. Pierson Co. for twenty-five Winsor 

 carnations. The show of carnations will, 

 it is believed, be equal to that seen in 

 Washington at the convention, a good 

 many from a distance being promised.
