BOSTON. 



The Market. 



We continue to get quite cool 

 weather and, as sunshine has not been 

 overabundant, the supply of flowers 

 has not as yet been much in excess 

 of the demand. Roses sold well last 

 week, especially American Beauties, 

 Killarneys, Tafts and Hillingdons. 

 '^ome nice Carnots are now arriving 

 iiud sell quickly. Carnations are not in 

 heavy supply, and prices are well main- 

 tained. Violets are over, except for a 

 tew doubles, and these are now quite 

 small. Some of the bulb specialists 

 have finished cutting their indoor crops 

 Had few of these flowers are now to be 

 seen. Quite a few. outside narcissi 

 =ire, however, now obtainable. 



Sweet peas have been among the 

 l^est selling flowers of late, prices vary- 

 ing from 35 cents to $1.50 per hundred. 

 A number of growers are now sending 

 in fine Spencers, which always com- 

 mand the highest prices. Lily of the 

 valley has been in better demand. 

 Lilium longiflorum and callas have each 

 been a drug and sell at low prices. 

 Snapdragon, while of fine quality, is 

 now in oversupply and prices are down. 

 Marguerites are abundant and the qual- 



ity leaves nothing to be desired. The 

 call is best for yellow. English prim- 

 roses and bachelor's buttons sell better 

 now, when violets are practically gone. 

 Spanish iris is fine and in demand. 

 Gladioli are as yet limited to Peach 

 Blossom and Blushing Bride, Gar- 

 denias are lower in price. Good flow- 

 ers are in demand, but many are poor 

 in quality. Cattleya Mossiffi is now ob- 

 tainable and sells better than Schroe- 

 derae, which buyers fight shy of. 



Both asparagus and adiantum are 

 rather soft, and smilax scarce. 



There is now a good call for baskets 

 of pansies, daisies and myosotis, and 

 bedding geraniums have appeared on 

 a number of stands in the markets. 

 Hydrangeas are also in demand. 



Various Notes. 



M. A. Patten and J. K. M. L. Far 

 quhar sailed on the S. S. Laconia for 

 Liverpool April 30. They will visit 

 the European continent before the open- 

 ing of the big London international 

 show. 



Frank J. Dolansky is cutting a fine 

 crop of Cattleya Mossise at present 

 and has already flowered several white 

 ones. 



McAlpine Bros., of the New England 



Rose Conservatories, Exeter, N. H., are 

 busy erecting a new Lord & Burnham 

 house 60 X 400. Their roses are of splen- 

 did quality and always clean out quick- 

 ly. Richmond, Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney and Ward are their specialties. 



I noted in Julius H. Zinn's window 

 last week pans of the beautiful pink 

 verbena, Miss Wilmott, which should 

 become as popular here as it has in 

 '' Great Britain. 



John T. Gale, of Tewksbury, is cut- 

 ting some grand sweet peas. His spe- 

 cialty is Pink Beauty, of his own rais-, 

 ing, which is fine. Mr. Gale will finish 

 picking double violets this week. They 

 have done remarkably well this season. 



M. F. Gray, of Mattapan, is having 

 a good call for his pans of geraniums 

 at the Boston Cooperative Market. 

 They are stocky and well bloomed 

 plants. 



W. S. Phelps, of Marlboro, is cutting 

 a fine crop of the hardy delphiniums 

 in various shades of blue, for which 

 J. M. Cohen finds an excellent demand. 



William T. Walke, of Salem, is strong 

 on hydrangeas at present and disposes 

 of large numbers at the Boston Cooper- 

 ative Market. 



Geo. E. Buxton, of Nashua, N. H., 

 has two fine snapdragons, one a me-
