The Market. 



The making of gardens and all land- 

 scape work have been set back because 

 of the cold, wet weather we are hav- 

 ing; therefore the sale of seeds and 

 bedding plants has not really begun in 

 earnest. Shrubs, trees and other hardy 

 stock are selling now, however. Pansies 

 are in fine shape and are finding ready 

 sale. Cut pansies are also in demand 

 and are of good quality. Carnations 

 are falling off in supply somewhat, and 

 Perfection, Pink Delight and Wards are 

 the best as far as quality goes. Snap- 

 dragons, yellow marguerites and free- 

 sias are finding favor as spring flowers, 

 a little out of the usual run. Bulbous 

 stock is overabundant and cheap. Box 

 trees are selling now. 



Various Notes. 



The Montgomery Rose Co., of Hadley, 

 Mass., is shipping some good roses ' to 

 this city. 



Ernest Short spent a few days in 

 New York city last week. He also at- 

 tended the flower show. 



M, Aitken did the decoration for the 

 Metropolitan Life triennial banquet at 

 Hotel Kimball, April 11. Carnations 

 were placed for each of the 350 guests. 



George Carty visited Hadley Falls 

 last week. 



L. D. Eobinson and wife visited the 

 National Flower Show in New York. 



A jardiniere sale is on at M. Ait- 

 ken's place. 



The florists of this city are rejoicing 

 over the fact that the clergymen of 

 the vario a churches are trying to put 

 an end to Sunday funerals. This, of 

 •course, would lighten Sunday work for 

 the florists a great deal. 



L. H. Butts has a fine lot of English 

 daisies at the greenhouses of Nelson F. 

 Higgins, ready for the spring trade. 



John Donaldson is back at work 

 again. 



H. F. Palmer, of West Hartford, is 

 producing better peas now and they 

 find a ready sale here. The white varie- 

 ties and the pinks, such as Blanche 

 Ferry and Painted Lady, are very 

 scarce. 



We are receiving excellent snapdrag- 

 ons, pansies and yellow marguerites 

 from J. M. Cohen, of Boston. 



The State street florists are vying 

 with each other each week with sales 

 of all kinds of cut flowers. 



For the last few weeks trade has been 

 •dull. During the week and on Satur- 

 days there is a rush of funeral work, 

 plants and cut flowers. We are glad 

 there are busy Saturdays, but we wish 

 there were more busy days during the 

 week. E. C. A. 



Johnstown, Pa. — Mr. and Mrs. Will- 

 iam Schmidt recently celebrated their 

 twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, at 

 their home on Westmont. Besides his 

 range of greenhouses on Westmont, Mr. 

 Schmidt has a store in the Franklin 

 building, on Franklin street.
