The Market. 



Mothers' day helped the sale of car- 

 nations materially, white ones going 

 especially well. If the local retailers 

 would only push this a little more, it 

 could be made quite a floral occasion. 

 Eoses, outside of a few varieties, are 

 of rather slow sale and values have 

 declined. Bulgaries are still popular; 

 BO are Beauties and Wards, but Killar- 

 neys are in excess of all demands. Car- 

 nations have been doing well and val- 

 ues have been satisfactory to the grow- 

 ers. It is some years since prices 

 through April and the early part of 

 Hay have been so good. Benora, Pink 

 ^Delight and Gloriosa are favorites, but 

 irhites have been in strong demand of 

 late. 



Dutch bulbous stock is running out 

 rapidly and, outside of Narcissus poet- 

 icus and late tulips, is practically over. 

 Spanish iris is abundant and has been 

 selling well, better than Gladiolus 

 Blushing Bride, which is hard to move 

 now. Good snapdragons, white and 

 yellow marguerites and bachelor's but- 

 tons are going well. Valley continues 

 druggy. Sweet peas have been on the 

 toboggan and prices on these have been 

 low. On some days no reasonable offer 

 has been refused to make clearances. 

 Cattleyas are moving fairly well and 

 so are gardenias. The summer crop of 

 these is starting to come in and prices 

 will naturally take a tumble. For green 

 goods the demand has been fair. Bed- 

 ding plant trade is becoming active. 

 Hydrangeas sell best among flowering 

 plants. 



Retail Florists' Club. 



The Boston Eetail Florists' Club held 

 a meeting at the City Club, May 5,

 there were present as guests Messrs. 

 W. C. Stickel, George Cartwright and 

 Andrew Christensen, of the Boston 

 Flower Exchange; John McFarland and 

 Edward Wood, of the Boston Coopera- 

 tive Market, and E. Allan Peirce and

William Welchans, of the Flower Grow- 

 ers' Sales Co. Henry Penn, the presi- 

 dent of the club, was in the chair and 

 a pleasant and profitable evening was 

 spent in discussing the disposal of flow- 

 ers and plants, from the point of view 

 of the growers, retailers and wholesal- 

 ers. 



It is to be hoped that many other 

 retailers will join this new club and 

 help it in the work it has undertaken 

 to benefit the retailers. 



Club Field Day. 



Interest in the club field day, to be 

 held with W. H. Elliott, at Madbury, 



N. H., May 21, is steadily growing and 

 a large attendance is assured. If sev- 

 enty-five decide to make the trip, the 

 Boston & Maine railroad will run a spe- 

 cial train at ordinary rates. With 100 

 passengers they will make reduced rates 

 of $2.30 for the round trip. As the 

 wholesalers and retailers, as well as 

 growers, are planning to attend, an at- 

 tendance of over 100 will be easily 

 attained, more particularly as many 

 ladies will make the trip. 



At the next meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, May 20, Wil- 

 fred Wheeler, of Concord, will lecture 

 on "Small Fruits."
