fit of the Milwaukee Infants' Home. 

 The firm had an unusually large amount 

 of funeral work on Monday, December 

 6, which necessitated considerable work 

 on the Sunday previous. 



Mr. Benke, of Loeflfler & Benke, Water- 

 town, Wis., was a visitor Sunday fore- 

 noon. An extra order for 2,500 violets 

 which they could not get into this market 

 on time, if they dei*nded on transporta- 

 tion companies, was the cause of his 

 presence in our midst. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports a 

 good supply of Beauties from the Brown 

 i)eer plant. Shipping trade, which con- 

 tinues fine, helped keep stock from piling 

 up at certain periods of the week.

Grand Rapids, Mich.^ — The Wealthy 

 Avenue Floral Co. is erecting another 

 greenhouse, 130 feet in length. With this 

 latest addition, the tract of ground on 

 which the range is located is now entirely 

 covered with houses. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



While business has been pretty good, 

 on the whole, during the last week, the 

 unusually mild weather has made the out- 

 put of flowers quite heavy, rather more 

 than there was demand for. With some- 

 what cooler conditions now prevailing, 

 there should be lessened production and 

 brisker business all around. Chrysanthe- 

 mums still come in from a number of 

 growers, but do not now dominate the 

 market. As a rule, they are rather small. 

 Roses are extra fine, and the Beauties 

 are making $4 and $5 per dozen for the 

 best and are unusually good. Killarney 

 and White Killarney are exceptionally 

 fine. Richmond are also of excellent 

 quality. Some fine Bride and Brides- 

 maid are seen, but these are now back 

 numbers so far as selling goes, the Kil- 

 larney and My Maryland being in the 

 ascendant. 



Carnations are cleaning up quite well^ 



but large quantities are coming in, which 

 will cause prices to lower. Violets are 

 now quite equal to midwinter quality and 

 do not show much change in prices. Sin- 

 gles easily lead in popularity. A few 

 growers, however, are successful with 

 Campbells and bring in good flowers. 

 Sweet peas as yet do not sell well. W^th 

 mums out of the way they will do better. 

 Mignonette is arriving from several 

 growers, but the spikes lack size. Valley, 

 gardenias and orchids are all in good 

 demand. Lilies are not overplentiful. 

 Callas are also rather scarce. A few 

 poinsettias have appeared, but it is too 

 early for them to be selling at their best. 

 Paper Whites and Romans are more plen- 

 tiful. For green stock of all kinds there 

 is a good demand. Advance orders for 

 Christmas greens of all kinds are large. 



Varioui Notes. 



Members of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, and other interested 

 friends are reminded that the team leaves 

 the North Terminal station at 11:30 a.
