BUSINESS BRISK AND VIOLETS DOING FINELY.—GROWERS HAVE LARGER CROPS IN PROSPECT.—CLUB MEETS.—A VARIETY OF PERSONAL NOTES. The week of February 9 began with good business and finished with plenty of work. St. Valentine's day brought a fine call for flowers of all kinds and espe- cially in Tiolets, which sold in larger quantities than on any day since Christ- mas. Carnations bring 50 cents to $1 per dozen. Roses are now plentiful and sell at $ to $ per dozen retail. Violets are abundant at fluctuating wholesale rates and bring 25 cents per bunch generally at retail. The California and Princess of Wales are in excellent con- dition and a heavy cut is on. It is to be hoped that violets will maintain a fair price as long as possible, without the usual price cutting and peddling. Daffo- dils and tulips are bringing $3 per hun- dred with a fair call. Paper White nar- cissi are scarce, with a steady demand. The Florists' Club held its monthly meeting February 12 with interesting proceedings. It is surprising how much good can be discussed at these times, and scarcely a minute is wasted. John Macrae and Mr. Hockeygave interesting accounts of their visit to the Boston growers recently, together with a lot of general information to which the club listened with approbation. Two new members were admitted, one of whom gave us some points on the work of the Kingston Agricultural College. It is expected that either Prof. Card or Prof. Wheeler will address the next monthly meeting. Roses give promise of an elegant crop. Macrae, Budlong and May are just beginning to tune up to the music of a large and continuous cut of Brides and Bridesmaids. - T. J. Johnston, T. Keller, N. D. Pierce and M. J. Leach contemplate attending the carnation meeting in Brooklyn. The Homogansett Greenhouses are under new management at Wickford. A. N. Pierson was i
