THE MARKET. 

 The market has remained remark- 

 ably strong considering the season. 

 To be sure flowers have not sold as 

 readily at times as might be wished, 

 but there has been little disposition 

 to cut prices. Carnations are in nor- 

 mal supply and the quality is very 

 good indeed. Roses are coming in 

 well enough to satisfy the trade. 

 Chrysanthemums are gradually going 

 out, although there are enough to 

 meet the demand. Wall flowers are 

 beginning to come in, but are not so 

 ^ood in quality as they will be a little 

 later. Some sweet peas of unusual 

 'Uiality reached the Boston market 

 this week, coming from R. P. Peter- 

 son of Framingham. The sudden cold 

 weather has hurt business a little. 

 Evidently it caught some growers un- 

 awares, for flowers come into the mar- 

 ket in a frozen condition.

WHAT would happen If your night 

 man fell asleep some nleht in 

 zero weather? What If you 

 should oversleep, or a cold wave hit 

 your greenhouse when your heat Is at 

 the minimum? It would mean ruin to 

 your plants — possibly ruin to you. 

 There have been many such cases. 



Bill not if you are equipped with 

 the STANDARD THERMOSTAT. The 

 Standard Thermostat protects you 

 from just such dangers. It will ring a 

 hell at your bedside when danger is 

 near. 



"I have one of your greenhouse ther- 

 mostats I have used 3 years. It has 

 proved so satisfactory I want another 

 for my new houses." — John Sharper, 

 Oxon II til. Mil., Jan. 6, 1910.

BEAUTIFUL NAMES FOR ROSES. 



It seems to me that English rose 

 growers choose their names on a fam- 

 ily principle. They wish to compli- 

 ment a friend, a customer, an illustri- 

 ous man; and the result is that when 



this person has an ugly name the rose 

 has an ugly name, too. It is true that 

 a rose by any other name would smell 

 as sweet; and yet it is not all true. It 

 is what the rose grower might call a 

 "semi-double" truth; for there Is 

 much in a name, and roses should have 

 names worthy of them. 

 Most often it happens that the name 



is ugly, as I hold many of the new 

 names to be. A rose should have a 

 name as immortal as itself. The Earl 

 of Penzance knew this when he called 

 his sweetbriers after Scott's heroines. 

 Shakespeare, so far as England is con- 

 cerned, might give names to all our 

 new roses. — From "One Day to An- 

 other," oil E. V. Lucas.
