The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 23, 1011. 



BOCHESTEB. 



Tbe Market. 



The retail florists have been excep- 

 tionally busy during the last week. Not 

 only has the demand for cut flowers 

 Iteen strong, but the sale of blooming 

 plajrts, hyacinths, tulips and daffodils 

 in ^ts has been unusually large. 



CAdrnations are plentiful, after several 

 weeks of extreme scarcity, and the 

 price has dropped accordingly. Street 

 sellers have offered stock at. 35 cents, 

 but retail prices have held at about 50 

 cents a dozen. Violets meet with a 

 ready sale at prices ranging from 25 

 cents to 50 cents a bunch — but there 

 is a difference in bunches. Hudson river 

 violets hold at 50 cents. Sweet peas are 

 the popular flower with the ladies at 

 present, but good blooms are scarce. 



Viewed from all points, the business 

 of "the week has been most satisfactory, 

 and the florists and growers are looking 

 for a continuance of good trade until 

 after Easter. 



VariouB Notes. 



John Dunbar, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, is watchingjjWith much in- 

 terest a collection of spruce and fir 

 seeds from China, which have recently 

 been started in the Highland park 

 greenhouses. The seeds were sent to 

 Mr. Dunbar by E. H. Wilson, the well- 

 known explorer sent to China by Har- 

 vard University. 



President G. B. Hart, of the Florists ' 

 Association, has successfully inaugu- 

 rated a plan whereby the meetings will 

 be made instructive to the members. At 

 the February meeting an address was 

 given on "Plant Selection," and the 

 March meeting was made particularly 

 valuable and interesting by W, C. 

 Barry, of Ellwanger & Barry, who gave 

 a practical talk on "Koses. " 



E. F. E. 



Plans have been completed for the 

 erection of large plant houses at the 

 South avenue entrance to Highland 

 park. The execution of the plans has 

 been placed in charge of William C. 

 Barry, Superintendent of Parks Laney 

 and Assistant Superintendent Dunbar.

 at The Boston Show - 



.'I, 



•Tides' 



A splendid, full grown exhibit that will be 

 right up to ouf usual standard. No, that's 

 not quite the truth— it is going to surpass 

 anything we have done before. Not a splurge, 

 mind you, but the kind of Exhibit from which 

 you can take away a good bundle of i^^as. .- - 



It's main idea is to " show you " in a com- 

 pact and comprehensive ,way what we can do 

 for you. • ,' *'• 



Several of our salesmen are going to be 

 there. Thpy are a great lot of handahajj^rs, 

 I and you will be made jolly well welcomed
