BOSTON. 



The Market. 



After several weeks of dull trade it 

 is cheering to be able to report a de- 

 cided improvement in business. With 

 the approach of Thanksgiving and the 

 passing of chrysanthemums, which 

 have for some weeks choked the mar- 

 ket, the outlook is much brighter. 

 There is no scarcity of flowers and any 

 striking advance in prices is not looked 

 for. The leading chrysanthemums now 

 are Chadwick, Jeanne Nonin, Patty, 

 Maud Dean, Bonnaffon, Eaton and Yel- 

 low Eaton and Gold Mine. After the 

 present week the supply of mums will 

 not cut much figure in the market. Car- 

 nations are of exceptional quality. 

 White Wonder seems to be the leader 

 in white and will be heavily grown 

 next season in preference to White 

 Perfection. Winsor and Enchantress 

 are both less in evidence, but Gloriosa 

 has jumped into favor. Beacon re- 

 mains the leader in scarlets and no 

 crimson has yet displaced Fenn. 



Soses are not in heavy crop and are 

 selling well. American Beauties are 

 of fine quality and selling well. Kil- 

 larneys of both colors are in excellent 

 demand, and of the yellow roses Mrs. 

 Ward is seen in the greatest abun- 

 dance. Mrs. Waddell and Lady Hil- 

 lingdon are, however, selling well. 

 Carnots are over for the season. Bich- 

 monds are seen of much improved 

 quality, as well as Khea Keid. Violets 

 are up in price. They had a great 

 sale for the Harvard-Yale football 

 game November 25. Valley is abun- 

 dant, but is selling somewhat better. 

 There is aii adequate supply of lilies, 

 both longiflorum and speciosum; the 

 latter does not sell. 



Paper White narcissi are in over- 

 supply. Koman hyacinths are not yet 

 plentiful. Mignonette as yet is rather 

 poor. Antirrhinums continue to sell 

 well, particularly pink shades. Some 

 good pansies are coming in and sell 

 well. Calendulas and cosmos sell 

 poorly. The supply of Cattleya labi- 

 ata from most of the growers is nearly 

 over and cattleyas are selling higher. 

 Some TriansB and Percivaliana are al- 

 ready appearing. Cypripediums move 

 slowly, as do gardenias. For Aspara- 

 gus plumosus and Sprengeri there is a 

 good demand this week. 



Pot plants are in demand, especially 

 Lorraine begonias, cyclamens, azaleas, 

 primulas, palms, ferns, crotons and 

 araucarias. 



Sweet Fea Society. 



Interest in the sweet pea show to be 

 held in July, 1912, is growing. Presi- 

 dent Sim is working with character- 

 istic energy to make it an unqualified 

 success. He has already secured nu- 

 merous special prizes, including a $50 

 challenge cup each from Joseph Breck 

 & Sons, Henry Penn, T. F. Galvin and 

 the Boston Cut Flower Co.; a $25 cup 

 from M. J. Tuohy; a gold medal from 

 the Lord & Burnham Co.; a cut glass 

 bowl from H. E. Comley, and several 

 other prizes. Mr. Sim, himself, con- 

 tributed $25 cash to the private gar- 

 deners' section. Special premiums are 

 offered for amateurs, school gardens 

 and school children.
