Various Notes. 



Thomas Roland reports Easter trade as 

 generally satisfactory, much more so than 

 in 1908. Stock consisted chiefly of pink 

 and crimson ramblers, acacias, boronias, 

 marguerites, lilies, genistas, azaleas, hy- 

 drangeas, ericas and bougainvilleas. All 

 were cleared out at good prices. 



Thomas Stock, of Dorchester, and 

 "Mann Bros, are among those bringing in 

 some handsome Spanish iris at present. 



Frank T. White, of Holbrook, is walk- 

 ing very erect these days, the cause being 

 the advent of a bouncing baby boy. 



William Sim sold nearly 200,000 violets 

 for Easter. A big fire in Cliftondale, 

 near him, caused so much smoke and 

 heat, added to the high wind prevailing, 

 that lie lost nearly 100,000 blooms in his 

 frames. 



Boston, unless all signs fail, is to have 

 a big international exhibition in 1920 in 

 the nature of a tricentenary celebration 

 of the landing of the pilgrims on Plym- 

 outh Rock. Boston has never yet had a 

 world's fair or other mammoth exhibi- 

 tion. It is expected that the one now 

 being launched will surpass anything of 

 the kind yet seen in the new world, 



William Patterson, of Wollaston, is 

 handling some fine gladioli of the large 

 flowered type at Park Street market. 



The market Wednesday, April 21, was 

 exceedingly weak, carnations $1 to $2, 

 roses $1 to $6, and the slump general.

The Market 



During the week following Easter the 

 business in both retail and wholesale cir- 

 cles was fairly good, owing to a number 

 of weddings and a great deal of funeral 

 work, which was distributed pretty well 

 among the store men, as all say they had 

 a good week's business at good profits. 

 Stock of all kinds was plentiful and to 

 be had almost at the buyer's own price. 

 A great glut in roses was found at the 

 wholesale houses Monday, April 19. Car- 

 nations and sweet peas were also plenti- 

 ful, it being impossible to dispose of 

 more than half to the local buyers at 

 prices in thousand lots that would hardly 

 look well in print. All of the rose stock 

 is of excellent quality. In carnations the 

 stock is equally fine. The bulk of this 

 stock comes from Kirkwood, which is 

 nlassed as home grown stock, also a fine 



lot of sweet peas and California violets. 

 Southern Illinois lilac is now coming to 

 this market in large shipments, also out- 

 door tulips and narcissi. The first of 

 these always sell well and hurt to some 

 extent the sale of other flowers, which art 

 in abundance at present. 



Anything in green goods is to be had 

 at regular prices.
