Bride and Maid are almost unsalable; 

 long-stemmed blooms go at 2 cents, while 

 Killarney of similar grade will bring 8 

 cents. Mrs. Aaron Ward and Bhea Keid 

 are each showing up well at present. 



Carnations are showing the effects of 

 the torrid weather. Such varieties as En- 

 chantress are coming badly faded. Prices 

 have dropped to $10 per thousand, not a 

 few lower ; the best go at $2. Single vio- 

 lets are down and out, but doubles of 

 moderate quality will come in a week or 

 two longer ; 300 for $1 is an average rate. 



Marguerites are more plentiful; the 

 yellow ones sell the best. Sweet peas are 

 coming in tremendous quantities; poorer 

 grades bring little, but good stemmed 

 flowers are selling well. Ulies are over- 

 plentiful and a slow sale. There were 

 many cut lilies left from Easter. Callas 

 are more plentiful. Bulbous stock is 

 shortening up. Some good Spanish iris 

 is arriving and meets with a ready sale. 

 Lilium candidum is of good quality, but 

 sells slowly now. 



Valley, myosotis, pansies, ixias, ranun- 

 culi, mignonette, tritonias, centaureas, 

 calendulas, wallflowers and quite a va- 

 riety of other flowers are seen. For these 

 sales are somewhat uncertain, a good call 

 one day and little demand the next. Ten 

 weeks' stocks are a drug, while snap- 

 dragons, unless they are of pink or other 

 taking shades, sell poorly. There is a 

 steady call for Asparagus Sprengeri and 

 plumosus and adiantum. Trade in pot 

 plants since Easter has been quiet, but 

 baskets of pansies, forget-me-nots, dai- 

 sies, etc., are making their appearance.

Various Notes. 



L. E. Smith, of Tewksbury, is handling 

 large quantities of ertra fine yellow and 

 .white marguerites at 2 Park street. They 

 have the best stems I have seen this sea- 

 son. 



Bride and Bridesmaid roses would seem 

 to be on their last legs in the Boston mar- 

 ket. A prominent salesman reported 12,- 

 000 of these unsold a few days ago, 

 against a surplus of only 200 Killarney. 

 Short Killarney brought as much as best 

 quality Bride and Maid. 



S. J. Goddard will sail, June 8, per S. 

 S. Teutonic for England, returning about 

 August 1. He will spend his time chiefly 

 in England and the Channel Islands and 

 wiU visit many trade establishments, par- 

 ticularly carnation specialists. 



Charles T. Boyle, of Galvin's Tremont 

 street store, is quite sick with rheuma- 

 tism. 



Pink Delight carnation is going to be 

 as abundant as Enchantress in the Boston 

 market next season, unless all signs fail. 



N. F. Comley expects to grow 20,000; L. 

 E. Small has 4,000, and about every car- 

 nation grower is going to plant it heavily. 



Julius H. Zinn had a pretty window 

 arranged with the new rose, Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward, April 1. This rose is well grown 

 by W. H. Elliott and seems to be taking 

 the popular fancy. 



Thomas legler, at 6 Park street, is 

 handling extra fine Richmond and Killar- 

 ney roses; President Seelye, Winsor and 

 other carnations, from H. W. Field, of 

 Northampton. 



Edward J. Eogean, at 6 Park street, is 

 handling large and finely grown roses 

 from A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. 



Mrs. Philip L. Carbone and Miss Car- 

 bone were among the passengers saiUng 

 on &. S. Eomanic for Naples from Boston 

 April 2. ' 



Thomas Pegler, at 6 Park street, is 

 the meeting of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists ' Club, April 19. A number of timely 

 topics will be discussed through the ques- 

 tion box. Other business will include the 

 election of a successor to the late treas- 

 urer, Edward Hatch.
