perature of 80 degrees and no wind. 

 Easter was also clear and warm. This 

 made wrapping up of plants unneces- 

 sary and saved much labor. Easter 

 lilies were in short supply and cleaned 

 up quickly at $10 to .$12.50 per hun- 

 dred. Some were sold to dry goods 

 stores at lower prices, but these were 

 not of the best quality. Eamblers, such 

 as Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins, Hia- 

 watha and Lady Gay, had a great sale. 

 Crimson Eambler was little seen, but 

 quite a few of the baby ramblers were 

 sold, and good hybrid perpetuals had 

 a large sale. Azaleas were abundant, 

 but were not so well flowered as in 

 previous years. Of spiraeas and hydran- 

 geas the supply was abundant. Genis- 

 tas were also in large supply, the me- 

 dium sized plants selling well. Lilacs 

 were abundant and of good quality. 

 Less acacias than usual were seen, but 

 they sold well, as did ericas and boro- 

 nias. Well-flowered marguerites were 

 not overplentiful and more could have 

 been sold. Mrs. Sander in pans proved 

 a good seller. Dutch bulbous stock 

 proved to be in short supply. For well- 

 flowered geraniums the call was good. 

 Forced deciduous shrubs in variety, kal- 

 mias, rhododendrons, metrosideros,lily of 

 the valley, palms and ferns all met with 

 a good sale and it was far and away 

 the best plant Easter Boston has ever 

 had. 



Coming to cut flowers, the fears that 

 there would be a heavy lot of held 

 back stock thrown on the market at 

 the last moment proved for once to be 

 groundless. Eoses were in quite heavy 

 crop. They made little advance in 

 price, except on Saturday, when the 

 boom in carnations helped them. All 

 varieties were of good quality. Tafts, 

 Beauties, Wards, Hillingdons, Eadiance 

 and Killarneys were well sold out. Car- 

 nations, which had been picking up in 

 price through the week, boomed April 

 6, when it developed that there was to 

 be a shortage of them, and as high as 

 $10 per hundred was paid in some 

 cases. Nothing worth while went be- 

 low $3, and quantities sold at $5 and 

 $6, about double the prices of a year 

 ago. Single violets made practically 

 their farewell appearance, and were in

short supply at $1 to $1.50 per hun- 

 dred. Doubles made $1. Sweet peas 

 were superb and cleaned up finely, as 

 did marguerites, especially the yellows. 

 Snapdragon made $1 to $2 per dozen, 

 some extra fine making more. Pink 

 was the best seller. English primroses 

 and blue cornflowers met with a fine 

 sale. 



Dutch bulbous stock sold out better 

 than ever before, although there was a 

 heavy supply. Gardenias sold at from 

 $6 per dozen downwards. Cattleyas 

 were chiefly Schroederte, but the call 

 for these was not great. Asparagus, 

 both plumosus and Sprengeri, adiantum, 

 smilax and hardy ferns were all in 

 great demand. Cut lilies made $10 to 

 $12.50 per hundred, and more were 

 wanted. Candidums made $6 to $8. 

 Easter of 1912 will always be remem- 

 bered with pleasure, for certainly it 

 reached a new high water mark, both 

 in plants and cut flowers.

Various ' Notes. 



William Sim had over 200,000 Prin- 

 cess of Wales violets for Easter, as 

 well as an immense pick of sweet peas, 

 many of these having 18-inch to 24- 

 inch stems. His pansies also were 

 superb. 



I am pleased to report Thomas Peg- 

 ler as coming along nicely. He is now 

 at his home in Wollaston and hopes 

 to be able to resume business soon, 

 possibly this week. 



John McFarland sold 18,000 valley 

 and all of his 6,000 pots of giganteum 

 lilies for Easter. 



A. L. Silloway, of Maynard, had a 

 splendid lot of snapdragons for the Eas-
