John Kruchten says that a really 

 first-class article in ferns is good prop- 

 erty in spite of the abundant supply 

 of both southern and old crop ferns 

 this year. The buyers are willing to 

 pay the price for the best. 



Among the recent visitors was F. A. 

 Thompson, Detroit. Martin Eeukauf, 

 of Bayersdorf er 's, is still here, making 

 ^hicago headquarters for trips to near- 

 by cities. 



Deep River, Conn.— Howard South- 

 worth recently visited his home here, 

 having given up his position as a flo- 

 rist in the Bellevue-Stratfo^ hotel in 

 '^iladelphia. He was considering an 

 offer to go to Washington, D. C, as a 

 florist in a leading hotel. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Trade has ruled quiet for a week, 

 but the near approach of Memorial day 

 is now galvanizing new life into it. A 

 feature has been the comparative scar- 

 city of carnations. Prices on these are 

 now soaring, as much as $6 to $8 being 

 asked for fancy colored varieties for 

 delivery at the end of the week. A 

 general sentiment seems to be that 

 there will be a scarcity of carnations, 

 but plenty of all other flowers. A large 

 home trade always causes a heavy hold- 

 ing back of carnations each year. Boses, 

 as yet, have not made much advance, 

 and as there is a good supply, rates on 



them will be moderate. In American 

 Beauties the call is more for the me- 

 dium and short-stemmed flowers; long- 

 stemmed ones remain about the same. 

 In pinks, Killarney and My Maryland 

 are both good, while the old Bridesmaid 

 will hold up its head at least tempo- 

 rarily. White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward, Safrano, Bon Silene, Beacon Hill, 

 Kaiserin, Eichmond and Carnot are all 

 of good quality for the last of May, 

 thanks to the comparatively cool 

 weather we have had. 



Sweet peas are less abundant. The 

 winter blooming varieties are about 

 over and houses of the Spencer types 

 are just coming in. These continue to 

 sell well. Some good Darwin and other 

 late tulips are seen. Some of these will 

 last until the end of the week. Nar- 

 cissus poeticus is still good, also plenti- 

 ful. Outdoor lily of the valley is now 

 at its best and its quality is much 

 ahead of the forced article. Some of 

 the pink colored sport is seen, but this 

 is a slow seller. Lilies now include 

 both auratum and speciosum, in addi- 

 tion to longiflorum. There is a good 

 supply of gladioli, many of the large- 

 flowered varieties now coming in. Span- 

 ish iris are less plentiful. Marguerites 

 continue to sell well. Callas continue 

 of good quality. Lilac bloom is abun- 

 dant, but much of this will be gone for 

 Memorial day. Ten weeks' stocks, 

 double feverfew, candytuft, spiraeas 

 and other miscellaneous flowers promise 

 to be in good supply. There is a good 

 demand for Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri, as well as adiantum, hardy 

 dagger ferns and galas leaves.
