md daisies, with the warm weather, are 

 Sieginning to be played out. These sold 

 fast at Memorial day, as well as gera- 

 liums, forget-me-nots and hydrangeas 

 Q pots. 



All seemed to be satisfied with Memo- 

 •ial day for 1910. Some of the florists 

 iiad to work one or two nights to get 

 ' heir orders out on time. Funeral work 

 •vas good last week. 



Various Notes. 



William P. Peirce and E. H. Cham- 

 berlain had some fine hydrangeas for 

 Memorial day. 



R. H. Woodhouse had about 3,000 

 late tulips to cut from, which came in 

 splendidly. He also had an enormous 

 supply of geraniums, which sold well. 



S. S. Peckham cut about 15,000 stocks, 

 besides candytuft. He had a big lot of 

 geraniums also. 



E. G. Davis, on Shawmut avenue, 

 had about 25,000 stocks to cut. 



M. B. Sylvia, at his nursery, reports 

 ^ good sale of bouquets and plants.

-— The Market. 



Wedding bells are ringing constantly. 

 Every retailer seems to have his share 

 of the good things, and some of the 

 decorations run up into the thousands. 

 It is going to be a good month — this 

 leafy month of June — good for the 

 orchid men, and the gardenia men, and 

 the rose men, and the valley men. The 

 florists surely deserve a fat June. The 

 picking has been light of late and busi- 

 ness far from inspiring. Prices do not 

 rise, and if they hold steady where 

 they are until July, we may be thank- 

 ful. 



There is nothing to add to last week's 

 record. Beauties and all other roses 

 are about the same. Careful selecting 

 sometimes adds a little to the average 

 quotations, but not much. Carnations 

 are down; 2 cents buys the best of 

 them. Valley holds firm and at times 

 4 cents is obtainable, 3 cents and 4 

 cents for the stock for the swell wed- 



ding bouquets. Good sweet peas sell 

 readily, as well as selected gardenias 

 and orchids, for which the wedding call 

 is persistent. Grand is the cut of 

 peonies. Lilies are falling again, and 

 of outdoor stock of roses and shrubs 

 there is no limit. 



Changes Among Wholesalers. 



.John I. Raynor made a graceful re- 

 tirement, June 4, from the wholesale 

 cut flower business, after an experience 

 of many years. He leaves the street 

 with a competence and a reputation for 

 square dealing unsurpassed, and with 

 the good will and wishes of all his cus- 

 tomers and competitors. His record 

 in the business covers over thirty years. 

 P. J. Smith, who succeeds him, has 

 himself been over twenty-one years in 

 the wholesale cut flower trade, two 

 years with Burns & Raynor, two and 

 one-half years with W. S. Allen and 

 seventeen years with Mr. Raynor as 

 foreman. He is popular and efficient, 

 and the same business principles that 

 characterized his predecessor will con-
