The Market. 



Prices are somewhat lower on nearly 

 all flowers, but business continues fair- 

 ly good. On some days there is a good 

 clean-up; on others there is a consider- 

 able surplus. This is something which 

 has always existed in the cut flower 

 trade and will continue while existing 

 methods of distribution are in force. 

 Some day we hope to see the trade on 

 a more normal basis. Boses are arriv- 

 ing in larger numbers and are lower in 

 price. Eussell now is coming in nicely, 

 being preferred by many to Beauty. 

 Ophelia, Stanley, Hadley and Miller 

 also are of improved quality. Carna- 

 tions are more abundant and, while 

 still short-stemmed, clean up at $1 to 

 $2 per hundred. Sweet peas are tem- 

 porarily practically out pi the market. 

 Lilies have been in gooa «emand, with 

 only a moderate supply. 



Asters are, on the "whole, of poorer 

 quality than a week ago and the best 

 flowers have difficulty in making $1.50 

 to $2 per hundred. Second grades go 

 much lower. There is a continuation of 

 the gladiolus flood, which should rapid- 

 ly wane from now on. Lily of the val- 

 ley makes $4 to $6, but is not in heavy 

 demand. Its high price has hurt its 

 sale. A few Golden Glow mums come 

 in, but the quality is not yet good. 

 Cosmos, salpiglossis, bachelor's buttons, 

 gomphrenas and other annuals meet 

 with a moderate sale. The cattleya 

 scarcity is passing. A week ago sales 

 were made at $12 to $15 per dozen; 

 now they are down to $6 and $7.50. 

 Some oncidiums, odontoglossums and 

 cypripediums also are coming in. More 

 gardenias are seen. Adiantum sells 

 slowly, but trade in asparagus is a little 

 better. 



Club Meeting. 



There was a large and enthusiastic 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, the first since the summer recess, 

 at Horticultural hall, September 19. 

 About 300 members and friends were 

 present. Reports on the last club pic- 

 nic and the outing to Bar Harbor, Me., 

 were received and accepted. It was 

 announced that classes in landscape 

 gardening and floral art would be 

 started as soon as a sufficient number 

 of students were enrolled. A commit- 

 tee was appointed to draw up resolu- 

 tions on the late Jackson Dawson, for 

 some years an honorary member of 

 the club. E. H. Forbush, state 

 ornithologist of Massachusetts, gave a 

 most fascinating lecture, illustrated by 

 the stereopticon, on "How the Birds 

 Help Us and How We Help the Birds. ' ' 

 The lecturer showed most convincingly 

 the supreme value of birds to gardeners 

 and florists and answered a number of 

 queries at the close of his lecture.
