NEWPORT.

HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Market. 



"With a week of bright sunshine, 

 flowers of high quality are coming into 

 the market, but as yet the supply is 

 light. There are not enough cut flow- 

 ers to fill orders. The general report 

 is that the supply of cut flowers since 

 Christmas has been the lightest in 

 years. 



Various Notes. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting March 13. 

 Four new members were admitted. As 

 it was cineraria night, Alfred Cebelius 

 exhibited three plants of Cineraria stel- 

 lata, one measuring over three feet in 

 height. . 



Theodore Wirth, president of the 

 S. A. F., will give his illustrated lec- 

 ture on the park system of Minneapolis 

 before the Horticultural Society March 

 20 at Saengerbund hall, 76 Wells street, 

 instead of March 19. 



John Coombs, of Main street, expects 

 to occupy his new store about April 1. 

 It is just across the street from the 

 present location. He expects to have 

 10,000 blooms of lilies for Easter. 



C. H. Sierman, of Park street, has 

 sold his business to Philip Hansling. 



At the establishment of A. N. Pier- 

 son, Inc., the large stock of Easter 

 plants is looking fine. They expect to 

 erect a large addition to the plant dur- 

 ing the summer. Axel G. Bloomberg 

 has succeeded W. H. Buggie as carna- 

 tion foreman; the latter is now to be 

 found at the Cromwell postoflice, after 

 having served A. N. Pierson, Inc., for 

 eighteen years. James Clark has re- 

 signed his position as rose grower to 

 take charge of the greenhouses of H. 

 H. Battles, at Newtown Square, Pa.

BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Not foi* a long time has business 

 been better than during last week. 

 While the weather remained cold, with 

 minimum temperatures of 10 to 14 de- 

 grees above zero, the skies were stead- 

 ily clear. Then, Boston's annual auto 

 show helped business, there being more 

 social gatherings and dinners than have 

 been customary in Lent. Practically 

 all flowers sold out' well, and growers 

 were well satisfied with business. 



Somewhat more material is coming 

 in, but clearances continue good. 

 Roses, wrth the sinfle exception of 

 Beauties, are in good supply. Leaders

in popularity are Hadley, Crimson 

 Queen, Russell, Sunburst and Killar- 

 ney Queen. For a single r(Jse, Irish 

 Fire Flame sells well. Carnations have 

 been selling exceptionally well and 

 even old varieties like Winsor have 

 been in active demand. Violets are in 

 heavy supply; choice stock brings 50 

 cents per hundred, but many flowers 

 go at half this price. Sweet peas con- 

 tinue abundant and good. There has 

 been no decided glut in bulbous stock 

 as yet. Lilies have been selling well. 

 Some nice candidums are seen on sev- 

 eral stands. ^ 



Yellow marguerites are more ubun- 

 dant, but continue to sell at excellent 

 prices. Snapdragons are arriving more 

 freely; pink shades, as usual, have the 

 first call. English primroses, wall- 

 flowers and cornflowers are popular in 

 the miscellaneous class. Valley has 

 been moving unusually well. There are 

 still quite a few Cattleya Trianse and 

 plenty of Schrcederiana, with a good 

 supply of phala?nopsis and dendro- 



biums. Green stock has met with a 

 better demand. 



Shamrocks and green dyed carna- 

 tions were leaders for St. Patrick's 

 day. There has been quite a good busi- 

 ness done in pot plants, such as ram- 

 bler roses, cyclamens, genistas and 

 azaleas. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an attendance of 120 at 

 the meeting of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club March 17, the officers and 

 directors of the S. A. F. being among 

 those present, as the annual mid-Lenten 

 executive meeting was opened that 

 day. Speeches were made by President 

 Wirth, C. H. Totty and W. F. Gude. 



Roy C. Pierce, of Washington, gave 

 an address on the chestnut blight, which 

 elicited considerable discussion on the 

 part of the gardeners. The usual rou- 

 tine business was transacted, five new 

 members being elected. 



On the exhibition table was a fine 

 display of sweet peas, violets and pan- 

 sies from William Sim. The sweet peas 

 labeled Bohemian Girl, No. 4 and No. 

 12 were given reports of merit. Rose 

 William Sheehan was shown by T. N. 

 Cook, Mount Auburn cemetery showed 

 Strelitzia reginae. W. N. Craig staged 

 cinerarias and antirrhinums, receiving 

 a cultural report of merit for the latter.

 pans. of Dutch hyacinths coming along
