Takes special care of theatre and steamer orders. CARBONE, S4S Boylaton St., BOSTON BOSTON, MASS. HKNRY R. COMUY. Floitot, 6 Parii S^ so yean' experience in the florist bnsiness guarantees efSciency to take care of all orders. 20% allowwL hand. Never were they so abundant so late in the season. They do not sell well. Bachelor's buttons go more slowly. Stevia, Paper Whites and Ro- mans are all in heavy supply and make no advance. A few trumpet daffodils and tulips appeared this week, also freesias. There is an abundance of valley. Callas and lilies are in good ?upply, but move slowly. Quite a few cut poinset- tias are available. These sell more slowly than usual. There are quite a few cattleyas and eypripediums, also Dendrobium phalffinopsis and Vanda cserulea. Gardenias are in fair supply. Asparagus is moving somewhat better. Business done in evergreens, wreaths and festooning is heavy; in fact, many of the retailers are doing more in this than in cut flowers and plants. Pot plant trade is fair, but falls be- low the average of previous years. The cold weather from December 12 to 18 restricted sales and shipping, but grow- ers are all hoping for milder condi- tions nearer Christmas. Azaleas, cycla- mens, begonias and poinsettias are the four leaders in popularity. Various Notes. L. D. Small, of Tewksbury, is our champion grower of bachelor's buttons. Many of his flowers are shipped to New York by his salesman, Walter Holden. Mr. Small has extra good Champion, White Wonder, Pink Delight and Bea- con carnations also. John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, had the first Golden Spur narcissi in the market December 19. Mr. Fee says he cut the flowers just three weeks after placing the plants in heat. He has just cut the last of his cold storage lilies and will have no more lilies until near Easter. H. Kolow, W
