NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



The Market. 



Bulbous stock in quantity is coming 

 in now and the florists are making the 

 most of it in most creditable window 

 decorations. All report trade as be- 

 ing brisk, both in cut flowers and pot 

 plants, funeral orders being quite heavy 

 lately. The weather last week was 

 iflild, bringing stock on rapidly. 

 Should this continue, the growers will 

 be anxious, as it will have a tendency 

 to bring out Easter stock too early. 

 Eoses are more plentiful now than for 

 some time. Sweet peas are coming in 

 and they are choice stock, too. Bulbous 

 stock in pots and pans is abundant. 

 Some of the local growers are sending 

 in exceptionally good carnations. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. H. Long had an attractive win- 

 dow display of daftodils, tulips and 

 some choice sweet peas. He also had 

 some well flowered azaleas, pans of 

 tulips and daffodils, which sell well. 



Charles Munro had an attractive 

 window display of exceptionally well 

 grown specimens of azaleas and lilacs 

 from his greenhouses on Townsend 

 avenue. He also receives daily an ex- 

 ceptionally good stock of daffodils and 

 tulips. 



Lilium giganteum, tulips, sweet peas, 

 daffodils and freesias, interspersed with 

 ■pussy willows in willow baskets, make 

 a most charming and effective window 

 display at Champion & Co. 's. They 

 also show a few choice orchids. Mr. 

 Champion attended the meeting of the 

 American Kennel Club in New York 

 last week. 



The New England Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation held its first annual con- 

 vention in Worcester on Tuesday, Feb- 

 ruary 25. E. F. Coe, of the Elm City 

 Nursery Co., was scheduled to talk on 

 "Travels and Observations of a Nurs- 

 eryman in Japan," illustrated by the 

 stereopticon. John Barnes, of Yales- 

 ville, was to talk on "Winter Storage 

 Houses," and Stephen Hoyt, of New 

 Caanan, on "The. Moving of Large 

 Trees. ' '
