 Cheney, he picked 2,000 from 2,500 

 plants, all fancy flowers. He averaged 

 over 5,000 flowers a day prior to 

 March 21. 



The yellow marguerites of N. A. Hud- 

 son, of Natick, are noteworthy. These 

 are immense in size and carried on 24-

According to P. Welch, trade with 

 Welch Bros. Co. far surpassed all pre- 

 vious records. In Easter lily plants 

 alone they sold over 30,000. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. have leased the 

 13,000 feet of basement at the' Boston 

 Flower Exchange and hope to move 

 there in about three weeks. They will 

 make quite a few improvements at their 

 new stand and will have a light, up-to- 

 date and spacious salesroom. 



Fred L. Sly, of South Stoughton, a 

 recent accession to the ranks of the 

 local growers of double violets, has had 

 great success with them this season. 

 His flowers are equal in quality to any 

 seen in the markets. 



E. J. Ahem, of Wellesley, who was 

 unfortunate enough to have a freeze-up 

 in hia houses early in February, is now 

 sending good yellow marguerites and 

 English primroses to the Boston Co- 

 operative Market.

 ous stock to the Boston Cooperative 

 Market. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, 

 sold his giganteum lilies out clean. He 

 also had a strong call for valley in pots. 



A. F. Coolidge, of Cambridge, struck 

 the market right with his well grown 

 cyclamens, hydrangeas and genistas. 



W. W, Edgar Co. reports that its sales 

 of Easter plants surpassed the most 

 lUonttnuMl on pacre 97.]
