them and prices rule quite low; $1 per 

 hundred is a fair price, though some 

 fancy spikes may reach $6 per hundred. 

 Many are sold lower than quoted prices 

 or not at all. Asters are excellent, 

 thanks to the pleasant weather which 

 we have enjoyed for some time; some 

 fine flowers sell up to $5 per hundred, 

 while others sell as low as 25 and 50 

 cents per hundred. 



Carnations and sweet peas are both 

 temporarily out of the market. Ar- 

 rivals of roses are not large, but ample 

 for all needs; their quality is fair for 

 the end of August. The best hybrid 

 teas sell at $10 per hundred, with some 

 grades at one-tenth these prices or less. 



Lilies have varied in price from day to 

 day; with a little demand they sell at 

 $15 per hundred and a day later are in 

 the doldrums at $8 to $10 per hundred. 

 Some dahlias, buddleias, heliehrysums, 

 cosmos and other outdoor flowers are 

 seen, but they are not abundant; the 

 call for them is light. Cattleyas are 

 scarce and bring $18 per dozen. The 

 demand for asparagus is light.

 mobiles. Walton G. Wyman, of Little- 

 field & Wyman, and W. H. Wyman, Jr., 

 of the Bay State Nurseries, met the 

 visitors on arrival and conducted them 

 over the various nurseries. The Bay 

 State Nurseries were first inspected 

 and a visit was made to the commodious 

 and up-to-date oflBces, packing sheds and 

 large storage houses before going 

 through the numerous fields. Railroad 

 sidings run alongside the large pack- 

 ing sheds and traveling cranes pick up 

 boxes and cases. A sawmill adjoins, 

 where all cases are made. Not much 

 stock is placed in the storage houses in 

 the fall, but a great amount of Stock is
