The Market 



While cut flowers seem less abundant 

 than a few weeks ago, business remains 

 quiet on the whole and sales are less 

 brisk than might be expected. We had 

 one of the coolest Aprils on record, fol- 

 lowing a phenomenally warm March, and 

 have so far escaped both the cool and 

 hot waves experienced in other sections. 

 Outdoor bulbous flowers, such as nar- 

 cissi and tulips, are now at their flood 

 tide, Avith sales not satisfactory. Span- 

 ish iris, indoor grown, is. more abundant, 

 as are gladioli, and each of these is 

 selling well. Carnations are getting 

 smaller, with prices holding about the 

 same. It looks now as though they 

 would be inadequate for the Memorial 

 day demand. Roses are getting poorer. 

 Carnots and Kaiserins are coming good; 

 tht7 5r&t Earned sell much the best. 

 Beauties are plentiful, but quality is on 

 the wane. The same holds true of Rich- 

 mond and Killarney. The rose business 

 is rather flat now. 



Lilies are plentiful and selling better. 

 Callas are getting poorer. Valley sells 

 quite well, as do gardenias and cattleyas. 

 Of summer orchids there is now a nice 

 variety, and the coming big orchid show 

 will, it is expected, give these a boom. 

 Snapdragons and mignonette are getting 

 poor. Marguerites are plentiful, yellow 

 being in heavy demand. Quite a few 

 cornflowers, calendulas, ixias, tritonias 

 and other miscellaneous flowers are seen. 

 Pansies are abundant, but English prim- 

 roses, are fewer. Ten weeks' stocks and 

 candytuft are each seen in quantity. 

 Sv,eet peas are quite plentiful. Asparagus 

 Sprengeri and plumosus, and adiantum, 

 are more abundant and of better quality. 

 The cool weather has retarded bedding 

 plant sales, apart from hardy stock, such 

 as pansies, daisies and forget-me-nots, but 

 all specialists are anticipating a busy sea- 

 son. A nice variety of flowering plants, 

 such as hydrangeas, roses, marguerites, 

 schizanthus, etc., are now coming in. 



Various Notes. 



Strawberries in pots are a feature at 

 present in a number of the better class 

 stores. A. M. Davenport, of Watertown,

is the principal grower of these and has 

 a fine lot ripe at present. Marshall is 

 the variety grown. 



Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, is 

 one of those sending in quantities of fine- 

 ly grown and flowered hydrangeas to the 

 Park Street market. They are handled 

 by Thomas Pegler. 



A recent call at the Harvard Botanic 

 Gardens found the tulip and narcissus 

 display at its best. Beds of one variety, 

 with a groundwork of violas, pansies, 

 forget-me-nots or daisies, were attractive, 

 but less interesting than the well planted 

 mixed herbaceous borders, which con- 

 tained large quantities of bulbs in small 

 clumps. Darwin and other late tulips, 

 undisturbed for three years, have im- 

 proved wonderfully since they were 

 planted. Narcissus Poetaz Elvira had 

 increased surprisingly both in numbers 

 and vigor. Mr. Cameron planted many 

 thousands of mixed early tulips through 

 the shrubberies, where they made a fine 

 show. 



H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is the 

 grower of some of the finest ten weeks' 

 stocks coming into the market just now. 



A. P. Peterson, lately grower for A. 

 M. Davenport, of Watertown, has started 

 in business as a landscape gardener at 

 South Lincoln, Mass. Mr. Peterson is a 

 good grower, full of energy and ambi- 



tion, and we wish him every success in 

 his new field. 



We are pleased to see W. F. Aylward 

 back on duty again at 6 Park street, 

 after ten days' sickness. 



Entries, which closed April 30, for the 

 big orchid show at Horticultural hall, are 

 satisfactory. There promises to be a bat- 

 tle royal for the blue ribbon of the show, 

 namely, the $1,000 prize for the best 400- 

 foot group. High class music, the best 

 procurable in Boston, has been engaged 

 to give concerts each afternoon and eve- 

 ning. 



William Bewsher has assumed charge 

 of Mrs. Butler's estate at Nahant, Mass., 

 and Henry Eaton, late of Longwater, 

 North Easton, has gone to F. L. Ames' 

 estate in the same town. 



A number of local enthusiasts are in- 

 terested in the formation of a gladiolus 

 society, a meeting for which purpose is 

 called for May 27, the second day of 

 the big orchid show, at Horticultural 

 hall. About 100 have already expressed 

 their wish to join the new society. 



A tour of the Boston park system, 

 with Superintendent J, A. Pettigrew, last 

 week showed everything to be in luxuri- 

 ant condition. There has been little win- 

 ter-killing and all the early flowering 

 shrubs have bloomed profusely. Just now 

 the prunus family are good. One big
