 Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stiffness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much 

 more substance and the petals being stiSer, it keeps and ships much better than the above variety. The calyx is very stiff and large,

NEW BEDFOBD. MASS. 



The cut flower trade is fair, with the 

 supply equal to the demand. There is 

 no change in prices as yet. There seems 

 to be a good supply of bulbous stock on 

 hand, with the exception of Paper Whites. 

 Perhaps these are being saved for Easter. 



Funeral work has been good. Wm. P. 

 Peirce reports large orders. 



A good supply of bulbous stock for 

 Easter is being forced in this section. 

 Growers of Easter lilies will get only a 

 fair crop, many of them losing half of 

 their bulbs. 



A. B. Hathaway has a big sale of daf- 

 fodils in pots to the Country Club. This 

 is an annual order with him, he furnish- 

 ing the club with a certain number of 

 pots each week. The club's proceeds 

 provide funds for sending mothers and 

 their children into the country for fresh 

 air.

ASHTABULA, OHIO. 



Thirty-six new greenhouses are to be 

 built iu Ashtabula during the coming 

 summer. The improvements will consti- 

 tute an increase by fifty per cent of the 

 extent of the greenhouse industry in this 

 city, a fact which indicates as well as 

 anything could the stability of the busi- 

 ness. 



A large portion of the houses will be 

 built especially for the winter tomato 

 portion of the business, which is compar- 

 atively new. The past has demonstrated 

 that Ashtabula tomatoes are superior to 

 those of Florida and Cuba and are in 

 fact in a class by themselves. 



The thirty-six new houses will be built 

 in the following numbers by the firms 

 named: R. W. Griswold, Jr., twelve; 

 Dunbar & Hopkins, ten ; Griswold Green- 

 house Co., six; Adams Bros., four; Gal- 

 lup Bros., three. 



The recent organization of a national 

 association of greenhouse vegetable grow- 

 ers has brought out the fact that Ashta- 

 bula is the leading city in the west in 

 this line, and the local growers purpose 

 to keep in first place. 



Sweet Briae, Va. — David Harris, the 

 market gardener, expects to go into the 

 florists' business.
