Meiilluu Tlip Review wlieu yuu wrile. 



February 22 being Washington's birth- 

 day, there will be no lecture on that 

 date. February 29 Robert Craig, of 

 Philadelphia, will speak on the private 

 gardener. 



The spring flower show will take place 

 March 20 to 23, and promises to be 

 unusually large and attractive. There 

 will be eight concerts furnished by an 

 orchestra. 



Various Notes. 



Remember the meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club February 25. 

 i^uite a number of visitors from a dis- 

 tance are coming to enjoy carnation 

 night, and exhibits promise to be nu- 

 merous, especially of novelties. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners ' and Florists ' Club has fixed upon 

 March 25 as the date of the annual 

 concert and dance, to be held in Horti- 

 cultural hall. There will be no banquet, 

 but refreshments will be served. 



Robert Cameron lectured at Melrose 

 February 10 on "Annuals and Bien- 

 nials," and will speak on the same topic 

 at Newport, February 25. 



William McCormiek, brother of J. J. 

 McCormick, the Maiden florist, died Feb- 

 ruary 13, at the age of 53. He had been 

 with his brother for some time at 

 balden. 



Joseph Fuller, of Leominster, is send- 

 ing in some remarkably fine longiflorum 

 lilies, which William Aylward is han- 

 dling at Park Street market. 



Charles J. O'Brien, of Jamaica Plain, 

 as usual, has La Reine tulips and Gold- 

 en Spur narcissi of splendid quality. 



In common with other sections of the 

 country, we have experienced some vicis- 

 situdes of climate this month. Febru- 



ary 8 we had the coldest day of the 

 /f winter, with the temperature below zero 

 and the wind blowing a gale. February 

 15 gave us drenching rain, driven by a 

 south wind, and a temperature of 60 

 degrees. 



Chatenay roses from Exeter Rose Con- 

 servatories, Exeter, N. H., are again no- 

 table for their size and remarkable 

 stems. 



At the Park Street market exhibition, 

 February 29, there will be numerous ex- 

 hibits from a distance and all available 

 space will be called into requisition. 



J. R. M. L. Farquhar lectured at Well- 

 esley, February 12, on ' ' Italian Gar- 

 dens. ' ' 



Welch Bros, say: "Considering the 

 depressed condition of the flower trade 

 at present, we find things are not so 

 bad with our house. We have been 

 able to sell all our goods at fair prices so 

 far, although our growers have increased 

 their supplies materially this year." 



W. N. Cbaio. 



Mason City, Ia.— The Perth Florist 

 Co. has removed from South Main street 

 to B and Poplat streets. 



Savannah, Ga. — A. C. Oelschig & Sons 

 have opened a retail store in the most 

 fashionable part of the city, at 147 Bull 

 street, near Oglethorpe avenue. 



Rugby, N. D. — N. P. Lindberg, pro- 

 prietor of the Rugby Greenhouse, reports 

 that he lost a house of roses last fall on 

 account of the non-arrival of building 

 material, which the manufacturers prom- 

 ised to deliver in August but which was 

 not on hand till the first part of Novem- 

 ber. Copsequently the roses were frozen. 

 The other stock, including the carnations, 

 is doing finely.

The Market 



Roses are scarce and the demand is 

 strong. There have been few American 

 Beauties in this market. Carnations are 

 more plentiful, but 'sell readily at good 

 prices. The sales on cut Easter lilies axe 

 good and none go to waste. 



Daffodils are plentiful, selling at 3 

 cents wholesale and 75 cents per dozen 

 retail. Narcissi are not so plentiful at 

 present and Romans are also somewhat 

 scarce. Dutch hyacinths are now making 

 their first appearance. This market has 

 been supplied with more cyclamen this 

 year than in the last three years alto- 

 gether. They meet with ready sales at 

 fair prices. 



The last week there has been a great 

 call for azaleas and there has not been 

 enough to fill the demand. The cause 

 seems to be that the early ones are gone 

 and the late varieties are not in yet. Be- 

 sides, some are holding them for Easter. 



Primroses in pots sell well. Daffodils 

 in pots and pans are in good demand. 

 The 50-cent and 75-cent pans sell best. 



Tulips are not yet very plentiful and 

 are selling at 75 cents per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



A. F. Barbe is cutting some extra fine 

 white snapdragons. He has the greater 

 part of one house planted in these flow- 

 ers. He is very successful with them. 



Ed Humf eld 's daughter has been quite 

 ill with pneumonia, but she is now im- 

 proving nicely. Mr. Humfeld has been 

 busy the last week with funeral work 

 and wedding decorations. 



Geo. M. Kellogg, at Pleasant Hill, is
