The Market. 



There was a time when, in the spring, 

 the geranium was the standard plant, but 

 owing to several mild winters and also 

 to the facility of its reproduction, the 

 sale of this plant now is limited. To 

 make it worse, some growers, loaded with 

 old geraniums kept from last season, are 

 offering them at a low figure and they 

 have become a glut on the market at no 

 paying price. Boston ferns and the fam- 

 ily seem also to have attained the limit 

 of paying production, some florists offer- 

 ing them at auction or disposing of them 

 at any price. Annuals have been in good, 

 steady demand, verbenas and small petu- 

 nias being scarce. Boses have found a 

 ready sale. Climbing roses are much 

 asked for. Eoses kept in pots any length 

 of time are doing poorly. Imported 

 grafted stock is a failure. Manetti stock 

 does not take well in our soil. The plant- 

 ing season of trees is nearly over. Not 

 much has been accomplished so far, but 

 the movement is well started and will 

 keep on. 



Business at the markets is quite large, 

 comparing favorably with last year, but 

 the prices are twenty per cent lower. 



Easter among the florists here has not 

 the same importance as in the north. 

 Even at the Sunday markets it is gener- 

 ally a poor selling day for plants. The 

 gardens are too full of flowers, the 

 churches are too easily decorated from 

 the private gardens. The only demand 

 which seems to be on the increase for 

 that day is for Easter lilies. They grow 

 almost wild in the gardens, but in that 

 natural state they open when they are 

 ready to open, and as Easter does not 

 come at a regular date, they are either 

 too early or too late for that day. This 

 year there were quite a few in time, al- 

 though not enough for the demand. A 

 little more attention from our growers 

 will bring in a good, remunerative crop, 

 without depending on imported, forced 

 stock. M. M. L. 



MoNSON, Mass. — George L. Fuller had 

 an unusually fine display of Easter lilies 

 and other seasonable stock. 



Neenah, Wis. — Louis Otto's green- 

 houses and hotbeds were considerably 

 damaged by a hail storm April 6. The 

 hailstones, it is reported, were as large 

 as hickory nuts. Easter trade here was 

 excellent. Flowering plants sold well. 

 There was a heavy call, also, for carna- 

 tions, though some of the stock shipped 

 in was decidedly poor.
