BOSTON. 



Review of the Market. 



Tbe week just passed has been a 

 very fair one for the growers, as most 

 everything outside of roses is not over 

 plenty and very quiclily talien by the 

 retailers, who are still busy with fu- 

 neral work and eagerly looking for- 

 ward to tbe time when the weather 

 will drive all the good flower buyers 

 back to their city homes. 



Roses are very plenty, and with the 

 advent of cooler weather the quality is 

 very much improved. Brides and 

 Maids sell at anywhere from .$2 to $4 

 per hundred, while high grade Kais- 

 erins will still bring $8, and inferior 

 grades sell with Brides. Meteors av- 

 erage about $5, while Beauties are 

 more plentiful, but sell much slower 

 than they have been doing. Prices 

 range from 75 cents to $2.50 per dozen. 



Carnations are in sufficient quantity 

 to supply the demand. Mrs. Fisher, 

 cut out of doors, is the predominating 

 variety and is selling from 50 cents to 

 *1 per hundred. Colored varieties are 

 becoming more plentiful and improv- 

 ing in quality and sell from $1.50 for 

 Scotts to $2.50 for Daybreaks. Fan- 

 cies are not yet in. 



The aster crop is about done. "What 

 few that came in on Saturday were 

 eagerly sought after and as high as 

 $3 was paid for some light pink and 

 white Semple's. Valley is plenty at 

 from $3 to $4; gladiolus and tuberoses. 

 50 cents per dozen stalks. Odds and 

 ends sell well put up in 25-cent 

 bunches. 



News Items. 



Oakes Amos w^s awarded a silver 

 medal for a plant of Acalypha Hispida 

 and a certificate of honorable mention 

 for Cypripedium Aspasia. 



Ned Hatch had a sale of palms from 

 Dreyer, Woodside, L. I., and realized 

 good prices. 



McCarthy is still selling fine stock 

 from local growers, including some 

 very fine Boston Ferns. 



There is quite a call for Daybreak 

 pink plants, this variety being some- 

 what of a failure in this locality. 



Judge Hoitt, of Nashua, was in town 

 on Saturday, as was C. F. Gibbs, of St. 

 Johnsbury, Vt. 



Dr. Campbell, of Mancliester, N. H., 

 and William Appleton. of Providence, 

 were also visitors to the "Hub" dur- 

 ing the week. 



The Welch Bros, are fitting up a 

 large room over their store, and will 

 carry a full line of supplies.

 ter.

Cypress 

 Greenhouse Material. 



•'•'I 



We are the pioneers in Clear Cypress Greenhouse Material. We 

 discovered that Cypress is better than any other wood for greenhouses 

 from top of posts up and we introduced it, and fought for it against 

 many prejudices, and finally succeeded in bringing it into general use. 



Others have attempted to follow where we lead, others are trying to 

 reap what we sowed, but we have the experience and are recognized as 

 experts in greenhouse construction.
