The Market 



As is customary after Christmas, busi- 

 ness has been rather quiet during the last 

 week. The severe weather, deep snow, 

 accompanied by zero temperatures, in 

 some cases 10 to 15 degrees below not 

 far from Boston, lasted a full week, and 

 . this in itself was the reverse of stimu- 

 lating for trade. Roses are seen in good 

 numbers and have taken a considerable 

 drop in prices, as have carnations; $4 is 

 as much as the best flowers will now 

 bring. Violets, owing to the cold weather, 

 are less plentiful. Growers of doubles 

 say that plants which gave heavy pick- 

 ings in the fall are now producing little. 

 Bulbous stock, such as Paper Whites and 

 Roman hyacinths, is abundant, while a 

 good supply of Trumpet Majors also is 

 coming in. Tulips are not yet abundant. 



Sweet peas are improving in quality. 

 Many coming in have fine stems. Mont 

 Blanc and Earliest of All are the sorts 

 seen. Lilies and callas sell about the 

 same as does lily of the valley. Cypri- 

 pediuras are plentiful, while cattleyas are 

 now in heaviest supply but selling well. 

 Among other flowers, small lots of Eng- 

 lish primroses, forget-me-nots anch wall- 

 flowers are coming in. Mignonette, an- 

 tirrhinum and marguerites are other 

 flowers coming in of fine quality. Yel- 

 low marguerites sell much better than 

 the white. Some poinsettias are still 

 seen, but no one wants them after Christ- 

 mas. There is a good, steady call for 

 green stock. 



Horticultural Society. 



At a meeting of the board of trustees 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, January 1, the offer was accepted 

 of the sum of $2,500 by G. R. White, 

 the income of which it is stipulated shall 

 be used for the purchase of a suitable 

 gold medal to the man or woman, com- 

 mercial firm or institution which has done 

 the most for the advancement of horticul-

ture in its broadest sense during the year. 

 The trustees being given the privilege of 

 making the first award immediately, it 

 was unanimously bestowed upon Prof. 

 Charles S. Sargent, of the Arnold Ar- 

 boretum, whose work during the last 

 year has included the securing of hun- 

 dreds of varieties of new Chinese plants, 

 collected under his direction by E. H. 

 Wilson. The new award will be called 

 the George R. White medal of honor, and 

 is open to any individual or firm in the 

 United States. 



A gold medal of the society was 

 awarded to E. H. Wilson for his magnifi- 

 cent collection of photographs, now on 

 exhibition in Horticultural hall. A sim- 

 ilar award was given Mr. Wilson by the 

 Royal Horticultural Society of England 

 a few months ago. 



It was voted to have a catalogue of 

 books and periodicals in the library pre- 

 pared. The work, it is estimated, will 

 occupy two years, the library being the 

 finest of its kind in the world. 



At the annual meeting of the society 

 Gen. S. M. Weld in his inaugural address 

 stated that for the first time for some 

 years the society 's receipts were in excess 

 of its expenditures, although prizes for
