The report of the financial secretary 

 showed the association to be in fine 

 financial condition, with a substantial 

 surplus in the bank. Messrs. T. A. 

 Havemeyer and F. E. Newbold, of New 

 York, were elected to honorary member- 

 ship in the association in recognition 

 of their valuable services rendered in 

 the management of the recent success- 

 ful New York flower show. Following 

 a general discussion, the board ad- 

 journed, to meet in Boston during the 

 month of August. Before adjourn- 

 ment a vote of thanks was tendered 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 for the use of its offices. The visiting 

 members later became the guests of 

 the local members of the board at one 

 of the neighboring hotels. 



NEW CASTLE, PA. 



Butz Bros, note an increase in the 

 sale of plants for Easter and are well 

 pleased with business. 



J. Hennon & Sons took advantage of 

 the bright spell to ship in the bulk of 

 stock from the Wampum place. A tree 

 "planted" in the center of the store 

 has proved an attractive feature. 



Weinschenk & George grow carna- 

 tions and lettuce, and are figuring out 

 which is the more profitable crop. 



W. H. Weinschenk is cutting Grand 

 Rapids lettuce that averages above one- 

 half pound per head, and believes he 

 has a crop second to none. Prices have 

 ruled fair to good through the season. 



E. P. Weinschenk expects to add more 

 glass, possibly for carnations. M. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The Easter business in Detroit this 

 year was the greatest on record. Stock 

 in all lines cleaned up in fine shape. 

 Roses were in heavy supply and moved 

 out without any trouble. Sunburst, Mrs. 

 Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Bon Silene 

 were eagerly sought by all buyers. 

 These were the only roses of which 

 there was any shortage. Beauties were 

 in good supply and of fine quality. Car- 

 nations, which usually are plentiful at 

 this season of the year, were rather 

 scarce and a strong, steady market was 

 the result. Violets were better this 

 year than ever before and the demand 

 was heavy. Valley was of fine quality 

 and the demand was about even with 

 the supply. Sweet peas more than made 

 good this Easter, as the demand for 

 them was something wonderful. The 

 Spencer tj^pe had the call and brought 

 the best price. In bulbous stock tulips 

 and daffodils sold the best. Dutch hva-

cinths did not sell well, although they 

 were to be had in quantity. Cut Easier 

 lilies had a steady call and callas also 

 were bought heavily. The retailers did 

 not seem to pick up snapdragon in the 

 quantities that the wholesalers expected 

 them to. A reason for this is thought 

 to be that the long-stemmed stock is 

 hard to handle during a rush. The stock 

 was beautiful and should have sold bet- 

 ter than it did. Smaller flowers, such as 

 yellow and white daisies, lupines, for- 

 get-me-nots, etc., were good property 

 and were largely used in making cor- 



sage bouquets. There was a shortage 

 of cattleyas. Green goods, such as 

 fancy ferns, plumosus and adiantum, 

 had a phenomenal run. 



In the plant line the growers were all 

 sold out about Thursday and along to- 

 wards the last there was great hustling 

 for stock. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Stahelin, of Bedford, had a 

 large cut of fancy carnations and Spen- 

 cer peas. Snapdragons from his estab- 

 lishment also were fine.
