pairs to their establishment on Myrtle

Carl Reck, of John Eeck & Son, is on 

 a motor trip through New Hampshire. 



Miss Jennings' private estate at Fair- 

 field, Conn., was thrown open to the 

 public for a week recently. The rose 

 garflen holds a great mass of pink and 

 white ramblers on trellises on either side 

 of an artificial lake, while Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward roses were in profusion. A mar- 

 ble urn filled with dark purple petunias 

 of a rare variety, and the rock garden, 

 were interesting. I. L. B.

The Market. 



*rra"de'#'' frightfully dull and ship- 

 ments arrive in- none too good condition. 

 s ThQ extreme iieat is responsible for this. 

 > putdobi:.^ stock is arriving in large quan- 

 *■ titles awd much of it goes to waste on 

 •1 account of existing conditions. There 

 :'^ is an excessive supply of carnations and 

 they are offered at sacrifice prices to 

 clear. Good quality stock is bringing 

 from $1 to $1.50. The daily shipments 

 of roses are not extra large at this time, 

 but as soon as the blooms arrive they 

 open completely, and consequently the 

 sales are not so good. Francis Scott 

 Key is one of the best sellers. Ophelia 

 and Double White Killarney move fairly 

 well, but prices are low on all stock. 



There is a mammoth supply of sweet 

 peas in all shades, but the stock does 

 not move fast. Bachelor's buttons and 

 calendulas are popular at this time for 

 window decorations. There are many 

 Easter lilies, but there is little demand 

 for them. Rubrum lilies have made 

 their first appearance, but they are soft 

 and practically unsalable. Achillea and 

 gypsophila are used largely in baskets. 

 Early Market asters in pink, white and 

 lavender are making their first appear- 

 ance this week. Outdoor gladioli are 

 coming in well now, but chiefly in the 

 red shades. Candytuft, Shasta daisies, 

 gaillardias and coreopsis are in large 

 supply. The receipts of greens are large. 

 Most" of the fern leaves are being 

 brought in from local points. 



Various Notes. 

 The vacation season is well under 

 way and many are enjoying the lake 

 and ocean breezes. Mrs. K. Owen is at
