SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



Tbe Market. 



Business has been brisk the last two 

 weeks and everyone seems to be busy 

 with various kinds of work. Cut flow- 

 ers continue to be plentiful. Because 

 of the warm soell, bulbous stock grown 

 indoors has come to an untimely end. 

 Daflfodils, which played such an im- 

 portant part in the cut flower list, have 

 gone and it is hard to And a substi- 

 tute, as carnations are still scarce and 

 roses are much more expensive. Vio- 

 lets are poor at present. There is lit- 

 tle cut white and lavender lilac to be 

 had. Killarney roses in pink and white 

 are best of all. Tafts are off crop, but 

 Mrs. Aaron Wards are fair. - Valley 

 and cattleyas are fine. Sweet peas are 

 much more reasonable now and better 

 in quality. Pansies in baskets are 

 much in demand. There are no flower- 

 ing plants to speak of, although there 

 are a few calceolarias shown in some 

 of the stores. Asparagus is not so plen- 

 tiful at present and the supply of ferns 

 is decreasing. Plans are being made 

 for a big Mothers' day and for Me- 

 morial day, and the progressive florists 

 are busy with preparations. 



Various Notes.

 ing Schloss Bros. now. He called on

was held in the Science building April 

 29 and 30, Owing to the early bloom- 

 ing of tulips this year, it was decided 

 to hold the tulip exhibit one week 

 earlier than the time originally set. 

 There were six classes, three for adults, 

 one for professional florists and two 

 for boys and girls who are under 16 

 years of age. 



H. Madsen, of West Springfield, has 

 a fine lot of bedding plants in readi- 

 ness for the spring trade. Among his 

 stock, there are about 1,200 geranium 

 plants. 



The Wheelock, Golden and Van 

 Vlack funerals made a great deal of 

 work for the downtown florists last 

 week. 



The May day breakfasts given by 

 the various organizations helped trade. 

 Special May baskets were sold in quan- 

 tities. 



Steve Green, with H. Bayersdorfer & 



Co., of Philadelphia, was in the city 

 this week. 



James Irwin, formerly of Boston, is 

 at the Aitken greenhouses in Agawam. 



Word has been received in this city 

 of the birth of a son to Mr, and Mrs. 

 Charles Isselee, of White Plains, N. Y. 



Len Morgan has had fine success 

 growing Formosa lilies this spring. 

 They are excellent for potted lilies, 

 but not quite so profitable for sale as 

 cut flowers, because there are too many 

 buds on the one stalk. 



L. N. Butts has planted some of his 

 carnations outdoors this early, because 

 of the warm weather. 



Mrs. Charles Moore, of New Britain, 

 Conn., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. E.
