The Market. 



Trade is fair, though the Lenten sea- 

 son is generally observed here. Stock is 

 plentiful. Koses are at their best. The 

 indications point toward a heavy Easter 

 trade. Orders are coming in steadily at 

 the stores and will end up with a fini.1 

 rush a week or ten days before Easter. 



Variottt Notes. 



The millinery openings are attracting 

 much attention this week. The floral 

 decorations are elaborate. 



Chas. G. Offerle has a fine window dis- 

 play of Easter lilies. 



Frank Gorney has opened a new store 

 on East Thirteenth street. 



Mr. Green, representing H. Bayers- 

 dorfer & C!o., of Philadelphia, was a vis- 

 itor in the city March 24. 



Society folks who have been spending 

 the winter in California and in the south 

 are commencing to return to their homes.

HALIFAX, MASS. 



A. C. Burrage recently entertained 150 

 members of the Boston Gardeners' Asso- 

 ciation, the party going and returning in 

 a special train. Walter E. Leak, super- 

 intendent of the Halifax Garden Co., and 

 his brother, Edwin P. Lenk, received the 

 guests at Halifax and showed them the 

 large establishment of Mr. Burrage. 

 Oranges shipped from Mr. Burrage 's 

 plantation in Bedlands, Cal., formed part 

 of the collection. An informal meeting 

 was held in one of the greenhouses, at 

 which remarks were made by Prof. H. D. 

 Haskins, Prof. B. J. Pickett and P. L. 

 Greeley. 



Derky, N. H. — Samuel Bloomfield, of 

 Windham, is now employed as florist at 

 Kingsbury's greenhouses, on Franklin 

 street, and excellent work is being done. 

 Mr. Kingsbury expects some splendid 

 plants this spring.
