 ders are in at the factory for a battery

NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The last week showed no improvement 

 fn the cut flower market. Trade has 

 been dull, even funeral work having 

 fallen oflF. A good supply of carnations 

 is now coming in; they retail at 60 cents 

 and 75 cents per dozen. Boses bring $2 

 per dozen. There is a fair demand for 

 violets; they sell at $1 per hundred re- 

 tail. Bulbous stuff is plentiful; 60 cents 

 per dozen retail is the price asked. Sweet 

 peas bring $1.50 per hundred retail. 

 Freesias are still coming into the mar- 

 ket. These are fine for funeral work. 



Variottt Notes. 



S. S. Peckham's carnations are look- 

 ing fine. He is busy shipping rooted 

 cuttings. 



The cold wave has struck us, and as a 

 consequence the coal pile is rapidly de- 

 creasing, but growers cannot complain, 

 as we have had fine growing weather up 

 to now. 



R. H. Woodhouse will have a big lot 

 of geraniums for the spring trade. His 

 Easter lilies are looking fine and healthy.
