Robert Craig Co. is an inspiration, show- 

 ing what cultural skill can do with be- 

 .gonias, cyclamen, and crotons. 



T. N. Yates & Co. have several large 

 suburban landscape contracts requiring 

 many fine trees. Phil. 



B. Eschner and Mrs. Eschner have been 

 •spending a short holiday in Jamaica. Mr. 

 Eschner is senuing souvenir post cards to 

 his friends on which he comments that 

 the foliage plants there are wonderful 

 but that no one has use for florists' 

 supplies. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



Thanksgiving week finds business vastly 

 improved. The weather continues re- 

 markably warm and there promises to be 

 no scarcity of stock. Chrysanthemums 

 are coming in lessened shipments and 

 move better. Bonnaffon, Enguehard and 

 Eaton are still the three dominant varie- 

 ties of their respective colors. Some fine 

 Jeanne Nonin are bringing good prices; 

 some nice Gold Mine, Chadwick and 

 Maud Dean are also seen; $4 per dozen 

 «eems to be top price for fancies. Eoses 



are moving much better. Beauties of 

 the best grade bring $4 per dozen. Some 

 fine white and pink Killarney are arriv- 

 ing, as well as excellent Kichmond, while 

 Bride and Maid go more slowly. Carna- 

 tions are in good supply, but in active 

 demand at much improved prices. 



Violets had a great sale for the Yale- 

 Harvard game, in common with crimson 

 mums. Violets average 75 cents per hun- 

 dred, but will probably bring $1 for 

 Thanksgiving. Both lily of the valley 

 and white bouvardia are in strong de- 

 mand at $3 to $4 per hundred. Cattleyas 

 are comparatively scarce, selling as high 

 as $7 per dozen. Mignonette, Paper 

 Whites, Eoman hyacinths, callas and 

 lilies are all in fair supply. Cypripedium 

 insigne is more plentiful. Stevia comes 

 from one or two growers only, the bulk 

 preferring to market it later. 



Green stock is in excellent demand, 

 with but little change in prices. Plant 

 trade is quite good. Lorraine begonia is 

 the leading flowering plant. 



S. A. F. Spring Show. 



At the meeting in Horticultural hall, 

 November 19, in connection with the 



S. A. F. spring show in 1911, the follow- 

 ing were present: President F. E. Pier- 

 son, E. A. Stroud, Eobert Craig, J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhar and W. J. Stewart on 

 behalf of the S. A. F.; N. F. Comley 

 and John McFarland, of the new Park 

 street flower market; E. Allen Peirce 

 and S. J. Goddard, of Park street market 

 No. 1; and Thomas Eoland, P. Welch 

 and D. Finlayson, of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club. 



The following committee was appointed 

 on the schedule: J. K. M. L. Farquhar, 

 Eobert Craig, W. A. Manda, Robert 

 Cameron and Thomas Eoland. Part of 

 a committee of 100 was also made up. 

 It was stated that an option on the main 

 hall of Mechanics' building had been 

 secured for March 22 to 30, 1911. 



The sum of $4,000 had been so far 

 secured on the guarantee fund, but it 

 was confidently anticipated that the full 

 amount needed, some $15,000, would be 

 secured before long. The schedule will 

 be made up and ready for inspection 

 before the next committee meeting. 



At the last meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club these awards were 

 made: Thalictrum from T. D. Hatfield,
