E. G. Gillett says that, judging from 

 the way Beauties and other roses moved 

 Monday, the prospects for a good week's 

 business are splendid. 



Mr. Leedle, of the Leedle Rose Co., 

 Springfield, enjoyed the May festival, 

 and while here he called upon the trade. 



Mr. and Mrs. Lester F. Benson, of In- 

 dianapolis, visited friends in this vicinity, 

 Sunday, May 8. While here Mr. Benson 

 placed large orders for plants.

The Market. 



Taken all in all, business was not bad 

 during the last week. The quantity of 

 flowers arriving is reduced, as compared 

 with a few weeks ago, and, while there 

 is no special activity in any line, clear- 

 ances are fairly satisfactory. After an 

 exceptionally cold and dark week, we are 

 now getting clearer and much warmer 

 weather, which will materially increase 

 supplies ^and assist in making the quality 

 of roses and carnations poorer. Boses 

 are getting harder to move and but for 

 the street fakers using a lot of the short- 

 stemmed flowers, there would be consid- 

 erable waste in these. Killarney and 

 White Killarney are holding up well. 

 Bichmond is on the wane, but Rhea Reid 

 promises to be a good hot weather rose. 

 Bride and Maid are hard to dispose of. 

 Carnots sell well and some nice Kaiserin 

 are coming in. These, however, move 

 more slowly. Beauties are getting poorer, 

 but are now abundant. 



Carnations sell at the same rates as a 

 week ago. May 6 and 7 the demand for 

 Mothers' day braced up prices, whites 

 espe<iially making good money. Sweet 

 peas vary from 25 cents to $1 -^r hun- 

 dred, but have cleaned up pretty' well. 

 The supply of bulbous stock will soon -4)6 

 over. There are now no double narcissi 

 and the single Trumpet section is about 

 gone. Plenty of poeticus will be pro- 

 curable for some time yet, and while the 

 early tulips are about over, the Darwins 

 and other late^^orts are now in season. 

 There are now far too many gladioli of

the Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride 

 type, but some good spikes of May and 

 Augusta bring good prices. Spanish iris 

 is not selling so well. Outdoor valley will 

 be procurable in a few days. There is 

 a fairly steady call for the forced article. 

 Cattleyas are plentiful, so are gardenias; 

 -each sells tolerably well. Lilies are sell- 

 ing better, especially longiflorum. The 

 call for antirrhinum is uncertain. Daisies, 

 both yellow and white, are in heavy sup- 

 ply. The yellow sells well and is much 

 in favor for window decorations. 



There is a much better supply of 

 Asparagus Sprengeri, but plumosus is 

 less abundant. Adiantum is in good sup- 

 ply and demand. 



The warmer weather has given a con- 

 siderable impetus to trade in bedding 

 plants. These do not appear in more 

 than small quantities at the whi)le^|ile 

 markets. It is a pity Boston has not 

 some suitable building to use as a plant 

 market. Lar^e quantities of bedding 

 plants, tj'ees, shruT)^, etc., are sold out- 

 side Faneuil Hall juaxket, all being in 

 the open. Geraniums, heliotropes, fuch- 

 sias, verbenas, vincas and cannas appear 

 to be the best selling varieties. 



Various Notes. 



The directors of the feostoh'Coopera-' 

 tive Flower Market held a meeting May 



7. The reports were of an encouraging 

 nature. The members are well satisfied 

 with their new market and business is 

 good with them. /

E. O. Orpit, of South Lancaster, Mass., 

 will give a talk on orchids at the meet-

 May 17. Coming so near the big orchid 

 exhibition, an orchid evening will be spe- 

 cially seasonable. Some good exhibits 

 are promised for this meeting. The ques- 

 tion of the annual picnic and other busi- 

 ness will come up. It has been decided 

 to hold a ladies' night June 21, which 

 will be the last meeting until September 

 20. 



W. W. fedgar & Co. have been sending 

 in some well flowered pots of Chrysan- 

 themum Golden Glow. The flowers are 

 fully equal to those usually seen in Oc- 

 tober and are a decided novelty. We have 

 seen this variety iB"-^oom for Labor 

 day. Thanksgiving and Christmas, and, 

 with the addition of Memorial day, only 

 Easter is lacking to complete the cycle 

 of floral ffestivals.
