nation for trial. There is no doubt but 

 that it will give a good account of itself. 

 His right-hand man, H. L. Bellamy, has 

 been ill and, feeling somewhat lonesome, 

 decided to wed. He is around again, as 

 chipper as ever. M. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The cut flower trade was good last 

 week. Funeral work is plentiful, with a 

 good supply of flowers to work from. 

 Carnations retail at 50 cents per dozen, 

 and roses at $1.50 per dozen. Tulips 

 and daffodils and other bulbous flowers 

 sell at 50 cents per dozen retail. Sweet 

 peas of good quality are now coming in. 

 They sell at 75 cents and $1 per hundred 

 retail. Large quantities of pansies and 

 daisies are now being offered. The price 

 they bring is from 25 to 35 and 50 cents 

 per dozen. 



James Cleary, on Pleasant street, had 

 a big showing of pansies and forget-me- 

 nots in baskets May 2. Mr. Cleary 's 

 palms were damaged at Easter to the 

 extent of $100 or more, through renting 

 them out. 



Davenport & Son are making a big 

 showing of bedding plants at their store 

 on Purchase street. 



William P. Pierce has an attractive 

 window at all times. This store handles 

 a choice line of cut flowers and plants. 



Stock for Memorial day is coming 

 along finely. From present indications 

 outdoor flowers will be much in evidence 

 this year. W. L. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



Peter Zeuger, the city gardener, says 

 that the work of planting out the bed- 

 ding stock in the parks is unusually well 

 advanced this season, owing partly to 

 the earliness of the spring. In this 

 division of the park work there have been 

 great improvement and development re- 

 cently, in spite of serious obstacles. 

 "While the greenhouse space has not been 

 enlarged, the park department is now 

 growing fully three times as many plants 

 for bedding as it was six years ago, the 

 number this year being not far from 

 150,000. This increased number is pos- 

 sible through improved methods in hand- 

 ling the plants in the available space. A 

 way to gain more space for hotbeds is 

 being tried at Elizabeth park. This is 

 to place coldframes on the piles of 

 manure as fast as the latter is dumped 

 in the rear of the greenhouses. 



Among the new roses that will be 

 tried in the parks this season are Chris- 

 tine Wright and Tausendschon.
