John Barr has a seedling carnation, 

 something in the way of May Day, 

 which proves popular at the stores. 

 His new Mrs. B. P. Cheney keeps up its 

 good reputation, and Pink Delight is 

 fine with him. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co., on Brom- 

 field street, reports trade as good. They 

 are making special offers of yellow 

 trumpet narcissi and sweet peas and 

 sell immense quantities. 



W. D. Howard, of Milford, is an ex- 

 cellent carnatidn grower. His flowerS' 

 of White Perfection, White Enchant- 

 ress, Beacon, Fenn and Pink Delight 

 are equal to the best seen at the Boston 

 Flower Exchange. 



Thomas Roland is sending some fine 

 acacia in variety, and amaryllis, to 

 the Flower Growers' Sales Co. 



H, W. Vose, of Hyde Park, has some 

 fine light pink stocks and Prosperity 

 tulips at the Boston Flower Exchange, 

 in addition to his heavy line of trumpet 

 narcissi. 



Among the carnations coming from 

 the Halifax Garden Co., Apple Blos- 

 som, White Wonder, Mrs. C, W. Ward, 

 Gloriosa and Pink Delight are excel- 

 lent. 



Paul E. Richwagen, of Needham, has 

 a beautiful pink antirrhinum of which 

 no other growers seem to have stock; 

 E. J. Rogean sells it on sight. 



The directors of the Boston Coopera- 

 tive Market held a meeting February 

 10. Business at the market has held 

 up well, even through the recent some- 

 what dull period. 



The meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club February 20 will bring 

 out one of the largest gatherings in 

 the club's history. Many novelties, 

 especially in roses and carnations, will 

 be shown. J. Otto Thilow's stereopti- 

 con lecture will also be a great fea- 

 ture. 



N. H. Silverman, on Winter street, 

 reports excellent business.

weather and with it came frozen ship- 

 ments and a demoralized state of busi- 

 ness at the week's end. Saturday 

 night prices fell rapidly and the ice- 

 boxes were crowded with the surplus. 

 The weather was moderating as this 

 week opened and it is hoped the last 

 of the cold waves has been seen for 

 this season. 



There is an abundance of everything 

 and a surplus of daffodils and freesia. 



Also tulips of the short-stemmed grade 

 are not moving at all. The drop in 

 values of carnations was especially 

 marked last week, large sales of the 

 finest being made as low as $2 per 

 hundred. The prices of roses have 

 retrograded about twenty per cent, but 

 this does not apply to the novelties, 

 for these are always snapped up on 

 sight and most of them are made the 

 attraction, carefully labeled and ex-
