VAYSIDE NOTES, 



Frank Burfitt, of Chicopee Falls, 

 Mass., has a valuable collection of eco- 

 nomic plants, in addition to a full line 

 of flowering stock. A fine specimen of 

 citrus is in full fruit. 



Joseph Beach, of South Hadley Falls, 

 Mass., is planning a new house for prop- 

 agating purposes. He has just completed 

 a handsome dwelling. 



G. H. Sinclair, of Holyoke, Mass., notes 

 a steady demand for orchids. He is one 

 of the few in this section who handle 

 them extensively. The branch store at 

 Northampton is doing good business. 



H. W. Field, of Northampton, Mass., 

 reports a good call for flowering plants 

 and cut flowers from his college patrons. 

 He has a choice assortment and nothing 

 goes to waste. 



A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., has 

 great faith in the future of White Kil- 

 larney and has an immense stock ready 

 for shipment. Everything is carried out 

 on a large and liberal basis. The system 

 of management is perfect. The demand 

 for bedding plants is large and an enor- 

 mous stock of rooted cuttings is on hand, 

 ready to ship to almost every point of 

 the compass. Two new houses are just 

 completed and are intended for Kaiserin 

 — nothing better yet for a summer rose, 

 under glass. 



Six years ago Otto Keser landed at 

 Portland, Conn., on the shores of the old 

 ■Connecticut river, and, like the great 

 pioneers of the past century, went to 

 ■work with ax and spade in preparing the 

 way for what is now one of the snuggest 

 establishments in the Nutmeg state. As 

 he is ably assisted by his good side part- 

 ner and a crowd of junior Kesers, busi-

The Market 



Business last week was the best seen 

 in Boston for nearly a year. A pro- 

 longed ice storm and several dark days 

 in succession caused such a dearth of 

 flowers as is seldom seen. Prices held 

 up well and, while a little easier now, 

 can be classed as satisfactory. Much de- 

 pends on weather conditions. A few 

 more dark days would soon cause another 

 famine, as both roses and carnations are 

 ofiE crop. Boses are scarce and prices on 

 the best grades remarkably high; as 

 much as $8 to $10 per dozen has been 

 paid for best grade of Killarney and 

 White Killarney, while Beauties touched 

 the dollar mark. These prices are, of 



course, exceptional and have receded with 

 the clearer skies. Carnations are not 

 plentiful. On some days as much as $4 

 per hundred was made by ordinary 

 blooms and $6 for fancies. Everything, 

 of course, depends on the weather and 

 supply, as demand now seems pretty 

 steady and the advent of Lent will not 

 be appreciably felt for a few days. 



Violets are plentiful; the best average 

 about $5 per thousand. Sweet peas are 

 good and sell well. With Dutch bulbous 

 "stock sales have so far been in marked 

 contrast with a year ago, when the mar- 

 ket was continuously glutted. Tulips 

 of several colors and quite a variety of 

 narcissi are seen, but Golden Spur, dou- 

 ble Von Sion, princeps and poeticus or- 

 natus are mostly seen. In the way of 

 miscellaneous flowers some anemones and 

 ranunculi are seen. Easter lilies are 

 unusually fine and meet with a ready 

 sale. Quite a variety of other miscella-
