which are selling at $3 to $5 per thou- 

 sand. Some nice Lady Lenox cosmos 

 sells fairly well, also yellow marguer- 

 ites. Easter lilies are good, but are 

 too numerous. Even Bouvardi^ Hum- 

 boldtii hangs fire. Cattleyas a^ |ftw in 

 piice; so, in fact, are all orchids. Some 

 nice gardenias are coming in. Valley, if 

 of good quality, sells well. Quite a 

 little second-rate valley is hard to sell. 

 For greens, the call has been a little 

 better. 



Flower Market Dinner. 



The annual meeting and dinner of 

 the Boston Flower Exchange was held 

 at Young's hotel October 24. Over 100 

 stockholders, salesmen and guests were 

 present. A fine vase of Carnation Alice 



traced the directors' table. After a 

 rst-class menu had been served, a busi- 

 ness session was held. The treasurer's 

 report showed total receipts for the 

 year and cash balance for 1913 amount- 

 ing to $21,624.08; total payments, $20,- 

 445.38, of which $1,101.50 was dividends 

 to stockholders, leaving a balance of 

 $1,178.70. 



Messrs. E. J. Bogean, J. L. Miller, 

 Geo. H. Noyes and Wm. Spillsbury were 

 appointed tellers to sort and count bal- 

 lots for a board of nine directors. The 

 following were chosen: S. J. Goddard, 

 W. C. Stickel, A. S. Parker, Eber 

 Holmes, George Cartwright, L. W. 

 Mann, A. Christensen, C. L. Paine and 

 A. A. Pembroke. Messrs. "William 

 Nicholson and Alex. Montgomery, who 

 had' served faithfully on the board for 

 many years, retired. They were given 

 a rising vote of thanks, accompanied 

 3y a salvo of cheers. 



The regular business being disposed 

 of, the balance of the evening was 

 given up to speechmaking and music. 

 W. J. Stewart and W. N. Craig spoke 

 for the press. W. R. Pierson described T 

 some of his hunting experiences in the 

 New Brunswick woods, where he has 

 been since September 12, working in 

 some good stories. Charles E. Bobin-^ 

 son said his firm's business was equal 

 to that of 1913. W. H. Elliott spoke 

 interestingly, aa he always does. Ever- 

 ett E. Cummings strongly advocated 

 cash sales for flowers, stating that veg- 

 etable growers go back with cash for 

 each day's sales, and he sees no rea- 

 son why florists could not do the same. 

 W. H. "Elliott and others dissented from 

 these views. W. B. Pierson spoke on 

 the New York credit system and 

 tiiought Boston should adopt a similar 

 one, which we canae near doing a cou- 

 ple of years ago. C. J. ^oan and P. J.

DonahoiB spoke of the iniquities of the 

 present system. 



Nathan Lerner sang a couple of solos, 

 which were warmly applauded. Various 

 other popular songs, including "It's a 

 Long, Long Road to Tipperary," were 

 rendered, and the meeting closed with 

 the singing of Auld Lang Syne and 

 America, the evening proving one of 

 real pleasure and benefit.
