LOWELL, MASS. 



The Market. 



A sharp frost came on the night of 

 October 28, the first real frost of the 

 season, sufi^ciently severe to make the 

 ground hard. The killing of outdoor 

 stock will be acceptable to many flo- 

 rists, since greenhouse flowers are be- 

 coming more plentiful now that chrys- 

 anthemums are out. 



Business in all lines continues to be 

 good. New store openings have been 

 frequent, with a consequent demand for 

 baskets of flowers. A satisfactory fea- 

 ture of these events is that usually the 

 vases and baskets continue to be re- 

 filled for a time after the opening cere- 

 monies. Tactful encouragement from 

 the trade would probably increase this 

 practice. 



Various Notes. 



The Frank P. Putnam greenhouses 

 have now a gorgeous display of single 

 mums; over 100 varieties are in bloom. 

 Mrs. Putnam manages the cutting and 

 shipping part of the business, making 

 an entry of the number and value of 

 the flowers from each variety. By this 

 record these growers learn the merits of 

 each kind and the most profitable kinds 

 from a specified number. This firm is 

 growing inside about 60,000 anemones 

 and 10,000 ranunculus, all in flats. 

 Their 30,000 carnations are in excellent 

 condition and, being sprayed every 

 week, are always clean. The neatest 

 and most secure packing is done here. 



Forbes Bros., of Woburn, who started 

 in the greenhouse business this fall, have 

 already planted over 5,000 violets and 

 are growing some vegetables. William 

 Forbes recently returned from overseas, 

 where he was with the Tenth Battalion, 

 Canadian Infantry, spending over four 

 years in the trenches in France. Michael 

 Forbes was a visitor here buying stock. 



J. B. Halley, who was formerly in 

 business in Lawrence, Mass., and more 

 recently in J. J. McManmon 's store, has 

 returned from visiting in Florida and 

 Alabama and was calling on friends in 

 the trade in this city last week. 



Miss Corrigan is now with J. L. Ken- 

 ney, on Central street. E. E. R.

 ral Co. has added another greenhouse 

 to its range.

Here's Something to Think About 



The most economical for you to buy 

 is the longest service paint. Labor 

 for repainting is more costly than 

 the higher pnce asked for the best 

 protective paint—
