Mention The HeTlew when too write, 



in high regard in Boston seed trade 

 circles. J. M. Gleason, for many years 

 with him in the Schlegel & Fottler Co., 

 and also a member of the firm of the T. 

 J. Grey Co., died six years ago. 



The Gardeners' and Florists* Club's 

 annual picnic at Cunningham park, 

 East Milton, is being eagerly looked for- 

 ward to. There are no less than twenty- 

 seven sporting events, and these include 

 baseball games for men, ladies and boys, 

 a football game, a tug of war and an 

 obstacle race. In case of rain there is 

 abundant shelter in the gymnasium on 

 the grounds. 



E. & J. Farquhar & Co. invite those 

 interested in hardy lilies to see their 

 field of Lilium regale (myriophyllum) at 

 their Eoslindale nurseries. The plants, 

 of which there are several acres, will be 

 in fine bloom about the end of the 

 present week. 



The efforts of the board of directors 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety to eliminate largely the smaller 

 shows of the society and limit them to 

 three per y*ar meet with little favor 

 among the army of cultivators, who are 

 greatly interested in the free summer 

 shows. A wealthy lady, keenly inter- 

 ested in horticulture, has offered $1,000 

 to help carry out the summer shows in 

 1920, and it is hoped that this, added to 

 the public sentiment favoring their con- 

 tinuance, will force a change of heart 

 among the directors. 



The wholesale flower markets and 

 commission houses close at noon on Sat- 

 urdays during July and August, as in 

 former years. It would be probably 

 just as well if the wholesale markets 

 could close at 1 o'clock during these 

 two months, as all necessary business 

 could easily be transacted by that time.

NEW YORK. 



Tbe Market. 

 With the passing of June the market 

 is settling down to the usual summer 

 condition, and the arrangement of vaca- 

 tions is an all-absorbing topic. For a 

 few days recently the common field 

 daisy held a prominent place in the mar- 

 ket, or at least that section of it de- 

 voted to the sale of green goods and 

 field flowers. Some of the dealers got 

 as high as $2 per hundred for their 

 stock, disposal of which was largely to 



saloons, the daisy being the floral em- 

 blem of the wets, to whom they were 

 in turn distributed. Needless to say, 

 one saw many wets upon our streets. 



Peace day did not mean anything to 

 the florists. Few, if any, banquets were 

 held, and public rejoicing was not con- 

 spicuous. 



Fourth of July business was not really 

 as good as usual, the weather being hot- 

 ter on that day and the previous day 

 than has been experienced for many 

 years. Everybody that could leave the 

 city did so, and full advantage was 

 taken of the opportunity to make a 

 3-day holiday. 



The outdoor stock coming in shows the 

 effect 0% continuous dry weather, but 

 copious thunder showers Sunday, July 6, 

 freshened things considerably.
