The Weekly Florists^ Review.

NE^ BEDFORD. MASS. 



The Market. 



Business last week was good, both in 

 the cut flower trade and in funeral work. 

 Carnations are getting scarce again; the 

 plants are a little off crop, and this, with 

 the recent dark weather we have had, has 

 caused the scarcity of flowers. Carna- 

 tions are now retailing at 50 cents and 

 60 cents per dozen, and roses at $1 to 

 $1.50 per dozen. Some good roses are 

 now to be seen in this market. Sweet 

 peas retail at $1 per hundred blooms. 

 Bulbous stock from indors is about all 

 gone. Some nice outdoor blooms of 

 tulips and daffodils are now to be seen, 

 and retail at from 35 cents to 50 cents 

 per dozen. Calla lilies, Easter lilies, etc., 

 retail at $2.50 per dozen. Violets are 

 about all gone for this season. The year 

 has been a fairly good one for these 

 flower§, with fairly good prices realized 

 for them. 



Work in the gardens is still being 

 rushed, and large forces of men are still 

 at work. This is a good branch of the 

 business here. Pansies are selling well, 

 also daisies at from 25 cents to 35 cents 

 per dozen roots. We are now having 

 good, warm spring weather, and since 

 the recent copious rain vegetation lias 

 been breaking forth in earnest. From 

 present indications, hothouse flowers will 

 be rather scarce. It looks now as if lilacs, 

 deutzias, etc., will be in full bloom for 

 Memorial day, but tulips and other 

 bulbous stock will be all gone by that 

 date. Stocks will be in good season.
