The Market 



Last week was a busy one, with school 

 commencements and weddings, there 

 being a good demand for all choice flow- 

 ers, particularly American Beauties and 

 Maid and Chatenay roses. Sweet peas 

 also sold well, the price holding good, 

 which it will until the outdoor supply 

 comes in. The quality of roses is de- 

 teriorating on account of the warm 

 weather. Carnations still hold their qual- 

 ity fairly well, but have not been over- 

 abundant. Peonies are now good, but 

 the supply has been limited; therefore 

 the price held up, but will recede steadily 

 from now on. 



Judging by the reports we have re- 

 ceived, the present season has been one 

 of the best on record for the sale of bed- 

 ding stock, and some of the larger grow- 

 ers are already almost sold out of stock. 



Of all the social affairs of the year, 

 the University Club ball stands as the 

 first largely attended and elaborately ar- 

 ranged entertainment of the early sum- 

 mer season. It is always preceded by 

 numerous dinners, making floral decora- 

 tions necessary. The decorations this 

 season were particularly beautiful — if 

 anything, more elaborate and lavish than 

 in years past. Outside the club, the 

 grounds were enclosed in canvas and 

 were brilliantly illuminated with colored 

 electric lights. A quantity of Asparagus 

 plumosus was used in the club house. In 

 the hall and many other rooms pink and 

 white peonies were effectively used, while 

 the tables in the dining-room were hand- 

 somely decked with American Beauty 

 roses. The garden effect was carried out 

 in the decorations inside of the club 

 house by palms and bay trees. The work 

 was done by B. E. Gillis, of the Park 

 Floral Co. E. S. K. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Trade remains about the same as usual. 

 There is a good supply of carnations 

 coming in. The warm weather is having 

 its effects on them, for they are coming 

 smaller now. Saturday, June 13, was 

 another carnation bargain day. One firm 

 advertised 20,000 of them at 15 cents per 

 dozen; another, 8,000 at 12 cents per 

 dozen, besides 20,000 roses at 25 cents 

 per dozen. This is going some, and 

 nearly everyone on the street seemed to
