BOSTON. 



Poor week ; lots of poor material com- 

 ing in and a fair supply of quite good 

 material. Dealers claimed they could 

 sell neither until the very last part of 

 the week, when things brightened up 

 wonderfully. The crop of outdoor lilies 

 seems to be ended and other outdoor 

 stock is in rather poor shape. 



Jackson Dawson, who lost his wife 

 only a few weeks ago, is bereaved again 

 in the loss of his son, Charles, aged 

 about 32 years. The young man has 

 been well known in connection with the 

 trade. 



For curiosity drop into the old market 

 room on Park street. If it does not well 

 repay you it is my treat. It is the 

 queerest mixture of old ideas and new 

 ones I ever saw. The only new ideas, 

 however, are the difference in goods now 

 exhibited from what you have been ac- 

 customed to see, the new manager and 

 the absence of the crowd and its cos- 

 mopolitan phases. All the fixtures re- 

 main unchanged and make fine display 

 plat forms for a high collection of an- 

 tiquities. The proprietor makes no ob- 

 jection to your tour of inspection, but 

 probably will not act as if he recognized 

 that you ever had any particular import- 

 ance in connection with the room. He 

 may not think florists amount to much, 

 anyway, you know. 



Late improvements in some of the 

 stores may be noted. Penn keeps up the 

 general fine appearance of his Brom- 

 field street place by generous use of 

 white enamel paint, and Welch Bros, 

 have given their ice chests a good over- 

 hauling. It looks like business all around 

 now. 



Timothy Waters has joined the selling 

 force at Welch Bros, and is to represent 

 that firm on the road. J. S. Manter. 



Aurora, III. — Mrs. W. L. Smith is vis- 

 iting her daughter at White Plains. \. Y. 



Canandaigua, N. Y. — Fred G. Hawlej 

 has purchased an interest in the McKerr 

 greenhouses and the firm will be known 

 as Mi-Kerr ic Hawley. A new house 

 30x85 will be built this fall. 



Joliet, III.— A preliminary premium 

 list has been issued for the flower show 

 to be given here November 4 to 7. The 

 offers' are liberal and the Joliet florists 

 are barred from most of the cut flower 

 classes. Copies of the list may be had 

 by addressing Jas. H. Ferriss or any of 

 the local florists. There are excellent 

 railway facilities for putting exhibits 

 and visitors on the scene without delav.
