his oldest greenhouses. He has not 

 decided whether to rebuild or not. 



Geo. E. Buxton last week forwarded 

 500 of his famous Killarney Pink snap- 

 dragons to Albert Dorner, Weimar, Ger- 

 many. He has a grand show of snap- 

 dragons now, and his carnations also are 

 in fine shape. 



C. V. Kimball, of Concord, N. H., has 

 the sympathy of his many friends in 

 the trade in his long illness. In the 

 week after Christmas, Mr. Kimball in- 

 jured a blood vessel in his leg, causing 

 a clot of blood, and he must remain in 

 bed until this is absorbed. 



At the recent annual banquet of the 

 Nashua Auto Club, W, W. Powers had 

 charge of both the decorations and en- 

 tertainment. Needless to say, he gave 

 every satisfaction. 



All the Nashua florists had excellent 

 business at Easter and are looking for- 

 ward to a big Memorial day trade. 

 Mothers' day business will also be ca- 

 tered to more than ever before.

The Market. 



As compared with the prefvious week, 

 the one which closed May 2 was much 

 more encouraging to growers, retailers 

 and wholesalers. The weather was cold 

 and, in the main, sunless. This short- 

 ened up supplies materially and extra 

 good calls for May day and for the 

 great suffrage parade May 2 gave busi- 

 ness a good fillip. Warmer weather now 

 rules and supplies are increasing, but 

 the markets are cleaning up quite well. 

 American Beauties are selling well at 

 the lower prices now prevailing. Short- 

 stemmed roses, which went as low as 

 $5 per thousand April 25, advanced to 

 $3 per hundred May 2, red, dark pink 

 and yellows being the favorites. The 

 reds were worn by the antis and the 

 yellows by the suffragists. Carnations 

 have been something of a glut of late,
