NEV BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market 



The cut flower trade here is good. 

 There is a good demand for carnations. 

 They are a little off crop now, around 

 here; 35 cents per dozen retail is the 

 price asked. One faker here takes up 

 his stand every Saturday in front of 

 the Parker house, with his usual bar- 

 gains — carnations 25 cents per dozen and 

 roses the same price. This is hardly 

 fair to the uptown florists, who are under 

 big expense, and the man who sells to 

 these fakers is doing the retailers here 

 an injustice. Good roses bring $1.50 

 per dozen. 



Bulb stock from indoors is about all 

 gone. Tulips are in full bloom out- 

 doors, and the parks and commons here 

 present a gay appearance. Gladioli have 

 now made their appearance here. 



Tomato plants are selling well. A 

 great quantity of these is sold here an- 

 nually. . 



Florists are now busy booking orders 

 for Memorial day. There will be a good 

 supply of stock here for the occasion. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. P. Peirce, on Union street, had 

 a nice window display last Saturday. 

 He had some choice carnation blooms. 



J. H. Cleary is -handling an immense 

 lot of carnations daily. Hoxie, of Mat- 

 tap'oisett, is now consigning to him his 



entire cut. , . u * 



A. B. Hathaway has a fine batch or 



geraniums for the spring trade. 



H. A. Jahn will have a good cut of 



carnations for Memorial day. He has 



most of his young stock already planted 



out. , _, . 



Funeral work is good here. This uses 

 up lots of short stuff. 



E. H. Woodhouse will have a house of 

 stocks for Memorial day which will be 

 hard to beat. He is busy now planting 

 trees and shrubs. 



We are now having fair, warm weather.

Goshen, Ind.— A brick building will 

 soon be erected at the corner of Main 

 and Jefferson streets, and Miss Dora 

 Brown, proprietor of the Colonial Flower 

 Shop, will remove to the new structure 

 as soon as it is ready for occupancy. 

 In the builder's plans, which have already 

 been drafted, provision is made for the 

 construction of a greenhouse at the south 

 side of the store. 



They Have Aluminum Interior Finish

 the U- Bar strong points— some of the others 

 are strength, lightness, simplicity, durability, 

 adaptability, attractiveness, productiveness, 

 and low cost of maintenance.
