The Market. 



Business shows an improvement and 

 all varieties of flowers arc selling much 

 better than a week ago. Tlie torrential 

 rains we had from August oO to Septem- 

 ber 3 ruined many outdoor flowers, being 

 especially hard on asters, and prices on 

 these have advanced sharply, so that 

 good flowers now realize $',i to $4 i)er 

 hundred, with some fancy greenliouse- 

 grown stock even higher. Gladioli are 

 still abundant, but the quality is not so 

 good. The bulk sell at $1 to $3 per 

 hundred. Some nice dahlias are coming 

 in, but most of the other outdoor flowers 

 are of rather inferior quality. 



Boses centinue in brisk demand, 

 whites being especially strong. Other 

 favorites are Ophelia, Columbia, Francis 

 Scott Key and Miller. There are a good 

 number of American Beauties coming 

 in, without much call for them. Quite a 

 few carnations are arriving. The ma- 

 jority are, however, of inferior quality 

 and short-stemmed and compare un- 

 favorably with asters. There are prac- 

 tically no sweet peas and Lilium lougi- 

 florum is unprocurable. There are, how- 

 ever, some speciosums. Small lots of 

 Chrysanthemum Golden Glow are seen, 

 but they move slowly. 



Valley has sold at exceptionally high 

 prices, as much as .$16 to $18 per hun- 

 dred being recorded last week. The few 

 cattleyas coming in wholesale at $18 to 

 $24 per dozen. A few bunches of bou- 

 vardia come in, but not enough for the 

 demand. 



There was a fair call for asparagus 

 last week. 



Ferns are moving well and realizing 

 double the price of a year ago. The old 

 Boston still leads in popularity here. 



Various Notes. 



J. K. Chandler & Sons, of Tewksbury, 

 have four fine houses of chrysanthe- 

 mums. They grow pompons heavily and 

 have large batches of Golden Glow, 

 Early Frost, Bonnaffon and other popu- 

 lar sorts. At present they are cutting 

 gladioli and asters heavily. 



Columbia, Ophelia and Ward are 

 Thomas Roland 's leading trio of roses at 

 Revere at present. He is selling large 

 lots of Smithii, Boston and Teddy Junior 

 nephrolepis from Nahant. 



Recent drenching rains wiped out the 

 year's deficiency in precipitation. Sep- 

 tember 5 temperatures fell to 34 degrees 

 in some parts of New England and we 

 may look for a frost almost any time 

 now. 



Patrick Welch returned from Old 

 Orchard, Me., September 6, looking well 

 tanned and fit for business. His firm is 

 handling the finest greenhouse asters I 

 have seen this season and is strong on

Martin Wax reached home from the 

 Maine fishing grounds September 10. 

 Salmon were less plentiful or more wary 

 than usual, but Mr. Wax secured some 

 grand trout, one weighing twelve 

 pounds. This specimen he has had 

 mounted. 



John A. Nelson, of Framingham, has 

 all his carnation houses in prime shape 

 and is just starting to pick. He is 

 growing Mrs. Ward more heavily this 

 season.
