The Market 



Considering that we are now fairly in 

 Lent, business remains good and sup- 

 plies are clearing up better than might 

 have been expected. Prices show no 

 special decline except in the case of roses 

 and bulbous stock, which are arriving 

 more abundantly. Carnations continue 

 plentiful, but clean up a little better. 

 The drug is, as usqal, in low grade 

 goods. There is not much trouble in 

 moving those of the best quality. The 

 carnations now arriving in Boston are 

 superior in quality to any seen in pre- 

 ceding years. Single violets are now be- 

 ing pulled out by some of the growers 

 to make room for tomatoes and cucum- 

 bers, which are in many cases run as a 

 summer crop. As a consequence, they 

 continue to sell well, and the same can 

 be said of doubles. Violets are selling 

 better on the whole than any other 

 flowers. 



Bulbous stock is abundant and prices, 

 as a rule, are not profitable. Lily of 

 the valley sells rather better. Callas 

 and Easter lilies are not in heavy de- 

 mand. Mignonette, snapdragon, wall- 

 flower, candytuft, stocks and other mis- 

 cellaneous stock meets with an uncertain 

 call. Sweet peas, however, continue to 

 sell quite well. 



Various Notes. 



Eber Holmes, of Montrose Green- 

 houses, will be the essayist at the next 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, March 17. His subject >vill be 

 ' ' Indoor Commercial Rose Culture. ' ' W. 

 H. Elliott and others have promised to 

 take part in the discussion. Some good 

 exhibits are expected and rose night 

 promises to be as good a drawing card 

 as was carnation night. 



The annual banquet of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club has been postponed 

 to April 1, in order not to interfere with 

 the meeting of the American Rose So- 

 ciety, which will take away a number 

 from this section on the original date 

 planned. There will be splendid music
