classes devoted to chrysanthemums, also 

 carnations, groups of plants, begonias, 

 etc. It is pleasing to see a resuming 

 of fall flower shows here, although it 

 must be admitted that chrysanthemums 

 as an exhibition flower have lost their 

 old-time magic in Boston. 



Fred E. Palmer, of Brookline, has a 

 splendid house of cyclamens, some 1,500 

 in number, in from 5-inch to 9-inch pots 

 and pans. He has saved seed of some 

 specially fine varieties and germination 

 is excellent. Fine batches of Begonia 

 Prima Donna, an excellent seller here, 

 primulas, chrysanthemums, solanums, 

 ferns and other plants were noted and 

 frames contained an excellent stock of 

 French hydrangeas, biennials and peren- 

 nials. 



At the next meeting of thf? Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, October 19, John 

 K. M. L. Farquhar will be the lecturer 

 of the evening and will speak on "Im- 

 pressions Gained During a Recent Trip 

 to Europe." There will be special ex- 

 hibits of chrysanthemums and other sea- 

 sonable flowers, as well as fruits and 

 vegetables. 



September proved to be a warm 

 month, with temperatures above normal. 

 There were no less than twenty-three 

 clear days. Rainfall was much below 

 the average. Maximum temperature was

87 degrees and minimum temperature 

 39 degrees. No frosts were recorded in 

 or around Boston during the month, 

 but some damage was done outside 

 Greater Boston. 



The Boston Florists' Association met 

 for the first time since the summer va- 

 cation period at the City Club, October 

 5. There was a good attendance and the 

 members enjoyed a fine dinner. Later 

 Mr. Danforth, credit manager for the 

 R. H. White Co., gave an excellent ad- 

 dress on "Credit." 



The finest gladioli noted last week in 

 Boston came in large shipments from 

 Homer Chase, Wilton, N. H. The spikes 



were just as fine as those seen here a 

 couple of months ago. 



Brockton fair, the biggest agricul- 

 tural gathering held near Boston, which 

 attracts enormous crowds of people and 

 should, therefore, be an excellent exhibi- 

 tion in which to display all seasonable 

 plants and flowers, has no floral depart- 

 ment at all this year outside a few chil- 

 dren 's displays. It is surely not credit- 

 able to find this noted fair not offering 

 a solitary premium for flowers, while a 

 new fair like Waltham in its first year 

 quite outclasses any of the displays 

 Brockton has ever given.
