necessary, else perfection in bloom is 

 lost. Carnations have recovered some- 

 what. The height of the crop is past 

 and the market is taking hold at the 

 present moderate prices. The warm 

 weather makes great care necessary in 

 selection for shipping; many of the 

 flowers have been grown too soft. Daf- 

 fodils continue to increase; they are ex- 

 tremely popular. Tulips have arrived; 

 Men Tresor and La Reine are here in 

 suflScient quantities to depend upon. 

 Freesia is plentiful and sells when it is 

 of good quality. Paper Whites are dif- 



ficult to market. White lilac is good 

 and plentiful. Sweet peas are coming 

 in freely. Greens have been dull. 



Boses show evidence of becoming 

 scarcer. Eichmond is the only variety 

 difficult to obtain so far, although Beau- 

 ties can now be had only in the long 

 fancy grade; the medium are absent 

 and the short crippled. Fancy flowers 

 of pink and white roses are not wanted 

 nearly so much as the medium and 

 short grades. 



Out-of-town orders are fairly good.

 on publicity appointed at the first meet- 

 ing and to formulate plans for educat- 

 ing the public in the use of flowers and 

 plants. Various plans were discussed, 

 with the best means of putting them 

 into operation. Attention also was 

 given to the credit system, whereby it 

 is proposed to prevent depredations
