Delight, Gloriosa and Rosette being the 

 leaders. Other sorts went at from $2.50 

 to $4 per hundred. Violets did not sell 

 well. Many thousands of singles were 

 mined by the hot weather of March 21. 

 Good flowers made 60 to 75 cents per 

 hundred, but other grades went as low 

 as $2.50 per thousand. Doubles of good 

 quality sold better than singles, some- 

 thing unusual here. Dutch bulbous 

 stock was too plentiful; low prices were 

 accepted to make clearances. Murillo 

 tulips sold at $2 to $3 per hundred and 

 were the most popular sort. Narcissi 

 were heavily overdone. Antirrhinums 

 were fine, but for some reason did not 

 sell well, even the pinks hanging fire. 

 Good yellow and white marguerites 

 made $2 and second grade flowers $1. 

 Valley made $2 to $4 per hundred. Cat- 

 tleyas and gardenias each met with a 

 pretty good sale. There was absolutely 

 no sale for stocks, little sale for wall- 

 flowers, but a fairly good sale for Eng- 

 lish primroses and cornflowers. Sweet 

 peas were in demand, all long-stemmed 

 stock being soon cleaned up. For 

 asparagus the call was good. 



Since Easter, trade has remained 

 fairly good. Carnations are off crop 

 with most growers and white varieties 

 are still selling well. Single violets are 

 beginning to run out; doubles are good. 

 There is still a greater supply of bulbous 

 stock than can be profitably sold. Roses 

 are only selling moderately, but good 

 sweet peas are in demand. 

 Various Notes. 



Mann Bros., of Randolph, sold over 

 200,000 flowers of Dutch bulbs for 

 Easter. In tulips, Brimstone Beauty, 

 also called Tea Rose, pale lemon in 

 color, is popular. They had a fine lot 

 of Lilium candidura and Spanish iris, 

 which were in demand. 



Harry Quint did a remarkably good 

 Easter trade at his new and attractive 

 store at 16'4 Tremont street. He hired 

 several additional salesmen to accommo- 

 date his plant trade.

William H. Elliott has invited the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club to hold a 

 field day at his farm and rose houses at 

 Madbujy, N. H., about the middle of 

 May. Mr. Elliott is a first-class farmer 

 and cultivates over 250 acres. Farm 

 crops and roses should be well worth 

 seeing. 



Albert and .Tames Cartwright have 

 leased the Mathison greenhouses at 

 Waltham, Mass., and will plant all with 

 new stock, chiefly Killarney and White 

 Killarney. They will operate under the 

 name of the Mathison Rose Co., by Mr. 

 Mathison 's permission. F. R. Mathison, 

 now deceased, who founded the busi- 

 ness, was for many years one of our 

 most successful rose growers.
