ally fine. Mrs. Aaron Ward is found a 

 great seller. For Bon Silene and Safrano 

 there are still many customers. 



James Wheeler, of Natick, is busy get- 

 ting his water supply laid, and posts for 

 his big new house are in position. 



N. F. Comley returned April 10 from a 

 few days' visit to big growers in and 

 around Chicago. He went over the plants 

 of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. and Peter 

 Reinberg, being duly impressed with their 

 immensity, also the Chicago Carnation 

 Co., at Joliet, and visited several other 

 places. He made purchases of 65,000 

 carnation cuttings, including good num- 

 bers of Conquest, Sangamo and Mary 

 Tolman. 



Paine Bros., of Randolph, the bulb spe- 

 cialists, are bringing in fine lots of Blush- 

 ing Bride gladioli. 



William E. Cahill, local representative 

 for the Stumpp & Walter Co., is able to 

 be around again after an operation and 

 five weeks' confinement in a Connecticut 

 hospital. 



April is proving much cooler than 

 March. Quite sharp frosts at night have 

 caused some damage, which would have 

 been much greater but for the extreme 

 dryness of the soil. Since March 2 we 

 had no rain until the present week. Many 

 fruit trees are already in flower, includ- 

 ing peaches, plums and some pears. There 

 is a generous show of fruit buds on all 

 trees. 



Horticultural hall is rapidly being pre- 

 pared for the big orchid show, which 

 opens May 26. Keen interest is being 

 manifested in Class 1, where prizes of 

 $1,000, $500 and $250 are offered, and 

 there will be a good competition in 

 this class. Entries will positively close 

 April 30. 



Long, strenuous days continue the rule 

 at all the seed stores. The cooler weather 

 has come as a welcome relief. Never has 

 there been such a volume of counter trade 

 as during March and April, and the end 

 is not yet. W. N. Craig.

dings and dinner parties and some fu- 

 neral work, but none of these used up 

 half the stock that came to this market. 

 While the nurserymen and plantsmen had 

 all they could do, it looks as though they 

 will be cut off this week, as April 18 

 it was snowing and cold enough to put 

 a stop to planting-out. The wholesalers 

 say they had plenty of everything all 

 week and the demand was slow and 

 prices away down. There were some fine 

 consignments of roses and carnations at 

 all of the wholesale houses, but half of 

 them could not be disposed of. Harrisii 

 and callas were also overplentiful, with 

 prices as low as $5 per hundred. Good 

 sweet peas are scarce, as well as tulips 

 and Dutch hyacinths. Lily of the val- 

 ley is plentiful and of extra fine quality. 

 Tn greens, smilax sold well. Everything 

 in this line is in plenty at usual prices. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 Thursday, April 14, was not so well at- 

 tended, there being only nineteen mem- 

 bers present, because the greenhouse men 

 are all busy with outdoor work and have 

 little time to attend an afternoon meet- 

 ing. There was quite a lot of impor- 

 tant business to transact, which was laid 

 over for the next meeting, when a better 

 attendance is expected. All reports of 

 committees were heard and laid over 

 until the next meeting for final action.

present and reported that they would 

 make a report at the next meeting re- 

 garding the club's annual picnic, to be 

 given in July. Several communications 

 were read and filed. The secretary was 

 instructed to send a letter of sympathy 

 to W. J. Vesey from the members of the 

 club. The question box and a review 

 of the Easter trade made things quite 

 interesting. May 12 is the date of the 

 next meeting.
