Mention The BeTlew whea yon writ*. 



In spite of the scarcity and abnor- 

 mally high cost of labor, landscape gar- 

 den architects are exceptionally busy 

 this season and have many large con- 

 tracts. The freight embargoes have se- 

 riously delayed the arrival of nursery 

 stock from New York, Connecticut and 

 New Jersey and are greatly incon- 

 veniencing planters. 



The Massachusetts department of ag- 

 riculture has started sending out daily 

 market reports to farmers and market 

 gardeners sending produce into the Bos- 

 ton markets. The Boston Market Gar- 

 deners' Association is cooperating with 

 the department in this work. The ar- 

 rivals and prices of all locally grown 

 fruits and vegetables are given, also 

 shipments of fruits^ potatoes, eggs, etc., 

 sent in from other states. Prices of live 

 stock and meats are also included once 

 a week. In the report for April 15 ar- 

 rivals of lettuce are given as 33,222 

 bushels at an average of $2.50 per 

 boflhei, showing how important an in- 

 dustry lettuce growing under glass is 

 near Boston. If it were possible to tabu- 

 late cut flower arrivals in some such 

 way it would surely be of great value 

 to growers. The cost for daily market 

 reports is $3 per year. 



Miss Carrie E. Ball, of Southboro, is 

 sending in extra fine lots of antirrhi- 

 nums. She grows Phelps' White, Nel- 

 rose and Virginia. The latter is a lovely 

 rich, clear pink variety and proves th« 

 best seller. 



Extensive damage by field mice is 

 reported from all local nurseries. Bho- 

 dodendrons, retinisporas, junipers and 

 other evergreens have been destroyed 

 in great numbers. W. N. 0. 



KANSAS OITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Continued cool weather is holding 

 business back to some extent, but there 

 18 a fair demand that keeps stock 

 cleaned up each week. Lack of sunshine 

 h&s shortened the sweet pea crop and 

 several lines of bulbous stock are over 

 for the season. Carnations are the most 

 plentiful flower on the market. Betail 

 business is not rushing, but all the stores
