Trade Conditions. 



The ever kaleidoscopic situation here 

 has been jostled a bit. Pinks are really 

 scarce, especially colored ones. There 

 are no good ones and the best that can 

 be found are worth 2 cents each. Sweet 

 peas seem to have dropped out of the 

 race, but small white flowers, which have 

 Ix-en bashful, are now quite forward. 



Asters — well, you know what they 

 must be at this date; but good, large 

 ones sell quite well at 1 cent, while 

 smaller ones sell less readily at from 

 2.5 to 50 cents per 100. 



Roses? Don't say a word. If you 

 try to say a word for each rose of the 

 daily supply you will need a larger dic- 

 tionary than now exists. Tlie price upon 

 them i-uns- from 50 cents to $8 per 100. 

 Red ones not yet very much in evidence. 

 Stores about town are sprucing up 

 generally and the extensive repairs at 

 Galvin's* Tremont street place are done. 

 They make the store a worthy feature of 

 the sights of the city. The walls are 

 fairly covered with huge mirrors, giv- 

 ing the idea that the store extends from 

 about Court street to Boylston street. 

 Multiplying his big Back Bay store by 

 two is, of course, a huge problem, and is 

 only yet well under way. It will be a 

 tremendous affair when done. 



W. H. Elliott, having roofed in all the 

 available hills of Mass'achusetts, has be- 

 gun upon the little irregularities in the 

 natural scenery of New Hampshire. Tlie 

 Stearns Lumber Company haa sent him 

 up the material for a small matter of 

 600 feet long by 51 feet wide.

Various Notes. 



There has been a steady demand for 

 flowers during the past week. Carna- 

 tions are in good demand and the supply 

 is not large enough to go around. The 

 price ranges from 50 cents for those cut 

 in the field to $2 per 100 for the first cut 

 of fancies. Field carnation blooms hive 

 not been much of a success this year. In 

 fact, many of the growers are very much 

 discouraged owing to the small size of 

 the plants they will be obliged to house. 

 Although we are now having fine growing 

 weather, it did not come till so late tuui 

 it will do but little good. 



Roses seeni to be doing nicely every- 

 where. The quality is improving slowly 

 but surely, and indications are that we 

 shall have good stock for the coming 

 season. Brides, Bridesmaids and Meteors 

 go at from 2 to 4 cents. There are very 

 few long-stem Beauties coming in as yet. 

 Those with twelve to fifteen inch stems 

 sell at $1 to $1.25 per dozen. Short 

 stems go at 3 to 4 cents. There is a good 

 demand for Beauties in this market, and 

 good prices can be obtained for them. 

 At present the supply is next to nothing. 



The late northern asters have not made 

 their appearance as yet, but are expected 

 to arrive this week. Those grown about 



this city are almost all cut out. T 

 few remaining ones are short-stemmed, . 

 and sell for 50 cents per 100. 



Business for the month of August was 

 considerably ahead of that for the previ- 

 ous year, which, of course, is an indica- 

 tion of continued prosperity. I can see 

 no reason why the coming season will not 

 be a record-breaker if the supply of good 

 stock be anywhere near the demand. 



The annual harvest home, which is 

 held at Westwood, occurred during the 

 past week, and Mr. Ernstohoff, George 

 Murphy and J. T. Conger were present 

 competing for the prizes offered for 

 plants and cut flowers. Honors were 

 fairly well divided among them. 



Mr. Walter Mott, of H. A. Dreer, Phil- 

 adelphia, and Mr. Henry Behrns, of Mid- 

 dletown. 0., were in the city recently. 



Mr. Behrns is rebuilding his place, and 

 now has everything in shape for the com- 

 ing season. C. J. Ohmer. 



GEORGE NICHOLSON. 



Mr. George Nicholson, author of the 

 Dictionary of Gardening, has retired as 

 curator of the Royal Botanic Gardens, 

 Kew, England, a position he has held 

 for many years, on account of impaired 

 health. His many friends in America 

 as well as elsewhere, will be deeply 

 grieved to learn that he has been obliged 

 to retire for such a reason.
