The Violets lead the Florists' League, 

 with the Carnations and Orchids run-

 light attendance February 3. The scores

The Market. 



Business continues quite satisfactory. 

 There are, of course, off days, but the 

 general tone is good. Carnations are now 

 finer than at any other time, and prices 

 on them have not changed materially. 

 Violets, on the other hand, are coming 

 into a heavier crop and show a weakening 

 tendency. The singles are now remark- 

 ably fine, and the crop in the bulk of 

 greenhouses should this season last until 

 Easter. Boses are not in heavy crop, an^ 

 are moving satisfactorily. Beauties, Kil- 

 larney and White Killarney particularly 

 so. More Easter lilies are arriving, also 

 callas, with prices about the same. 



Dutch bulbous stock is much more 

 abundant and a little lower in price. 

 Golden Spur narcissi sell well. Princeps 

 and ornatus move slowly. Marguerites 

 are arriving a little more freely. There 

 is a great difference in the quality of 

 these. There is no trouble in selling any 

 of them. Some good antirrhinum and 

 mignonette are seen. Freesia is somewhat 

 on the wane. Wallflowers, myosotis, ten 

 weeks ' stocks, English primroses, calendu- 

 las, pansies and other spring flowers are 

 coming in more freely. Adiantum is tem- 

 porarily rather short, but Asparagus

Sprengeri and plumosus are in good sup- 

 ply. Gardenias continue in demand, while 

 cattleyas and dendrobiums are selling 

 well. 



Various Notes. 



There is a growing feeling in favor of 

 holding the forthcoming S. A. F. national 

 show in Horticultural and Symphony 

 halls, bridging the avenue between the 

 two halls. For the construction of spe- 

 cial gardens some weeks of preparation 



are necessary. At Mechanics' hall this 

 would be out of the question. Thes" 

 special features, such as Dutch and Ital- 

 ian gardens, are what draw the crowds, 

 far more than long tables of roses an<l 

 carnations or stereotyped groups o' 

 plants. 



George E. Buxton announces that for 

 the coming national show he will oflfei* 

 $25 in gold, to be divided into threr 

 prizes for the best vases of 100, fifty and 

 twenty-five blooms of Carnation Bon
