• Carnations have recovered a little, 

 but few flowers get beyond $1.50 and 

 $2 per hundred. Violets have shortened 

 up a little with colder weather and sell 

 better, while lily of the valley and 

 sweet peas are both hard to move. 

 Easter lilies are in good demand, while 

 speciosums drag. Comos Lady Lenox 

 is plentiful, but does not sell particu- 

 larly well. Antirrhinum and Bouvardia 

 are favorites. Marguerites are scarce 

 and sell quickly. Cattleya labiata and 

 other fall orchids continue to be plen- 

 tiful. Some good gardenias are now 

 coming from several growers. Aspara- 

 gus, both plumosus and Sprengeri, sells 

 well. Pot plant trade is picking up 

 and, since the weather became cooler, 

 Lorraine begonias are now quite good. 

 There is quite a little assortment of 

 other blooming plants. 



Sweet Pea Society. 



An executive meeting of the Amer- 

 ican Sweet Pea Society was held No- 

 vember 4, at the Parker House, Boston. 

 Some twenty-five gentlemen were pres- 

 ent, among them the following: W. 

 Atlee Burpee, H. A. Bunyard, C. H. 

 Totty, William Sim, Thomas Eoland, 

 R. Cameron, D. Finlayson, Edward 

 Kirk, W, J. Stewart, P. Welch, J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhar, H. E. Fiske, P. M. 

 Miller, James Wheeler, A. A. Pembroke, 

 Sidney Hoffman and W, P. Rich. All 

 present were entertained at luncheon 

 by President Sim, after which the 

 schedule for the coming show in Boston 

 was discussed, also much business of 

 interest. A number of special prizes 

 were offered. The dates will probably 

 be" July 13 and 14, but climatic condi- 

 tions may necessitate an earlier or later 

 date. Everyone present was_ optimistic 

 and predicted a fine exhibition. ' 



Various Notes. 



Carnations now are of really good 

 quality in the markets, but no growers 

 have finer blooms than P. P. Putnam, 

 of North Tewksbnry. His flowers of 

 White Wonder, Gloriosa, Mrs. Ward, 

 Pink Delight, White Enchantress, San- 

 gamo and other leaders leave little to be 

 desired. 



Entries are good for the chrysanthe-
