 many representatives of florists in the 

 large cities present to see that their 

 designs were properly cared for and put 

 in position. 



The decorations at the church were 

 arranged by Charles Lindacher, the flor- 

 ist of this city, and were very handsome.

The designs at the church were about 

 twenty in number, and were from the 

 relatives and nearest friends. They were 

 mostly wreaths and bunches of roses and 

 orchids.

Tlic finishing touches to the Horticul- 

 luia] Hall drag rather slowly, but at a 

 mil ling a day or two since the building 

 wa- fnrnially accepted although yet un- 

 finished. It is an open secret that the 

 society fears a mistake was made in lo- 

 cating their new building so far from 

 the business part of the city, even their 

 grand opening failing to draw a satis- 

 factory attendance. It was hoped the 

 location and the grandeur of the pro- 

 jected building would awaken an in- 

 terest on the part of the Back Bay com- 

 munity, but this hope is not yet ful- 

 filled. Luckily nothing can derange 

 their financial stability. 



The E. M. Woods Co. is pushing its 

 prestige as the leading rose growing 

 concern of New England by starting 

 upon the erection of an addition to their 

 establishment, measuring 50x800 feet. 

 Make quite a place all by itself to some 

 people, wouldn't it? 



Competition is sharp just now to see 

 who will catch the first frost. Those re- 

 siding on high land feel handicapped in 

 this race, but that will not prevent their 

 elevation from aflfecting their prices 

 whenever the lowlanders sell out their 

 outdoor crop to .lack Frost, the un- 

 eipialed window decorator.

The Market. 



The cut flower market, which was 

 greatly depressed by the cessation of 

 business last week, has improved this 

 week. Floweis aie of better quality and 

 are more in demand. Choice Beauties 

 bring .$2.00 and $2.50 per dozen locally, 

 and occasionally $3 00 on shipping or- 

 ilcis. when c-p,', i,ill\ line. The price of 

 tea loses 1- mil liaiii;i-d, but the quality is 

 .uhanciiiii. Cainaluins aie improving 

 and sell well; $1.50 per 100 is obtained 

 for eveiything worth having and $2.00 

 for selected. Geoige M. Moss is hand- 

 ling some fine Floia Hill which bring 

 the" latter figure. Asteis are getting de- 

 cidedly rusty; not so many good flowers 

 seen. Dahlias aie coining in in larger 

 ipi.iiitilics , ~ me of them aie very fine; 

 s| (10 111 sjdii jicr 100 is the price, a 

 I, u I 111. 11 ~ I 1 imping $3 00. Violets con- 

 tiinic to im|ii.i\e. Leo Niessen is receiv- 

 ing more than last week. Smilax is still 

 scarce. Asparagus plumosus being the 

 principal green in the market.

Carnations have not done well in the 

 field this summer, many of them being 

 so small that the growers have to bunch 

 several together in planting.
