space to them than to the single- 

 stemmed varieties and find them more 

 profitable. Some handsome blooms of 

 William Turner, Yellow Turner and 

 other fancy varieties are seen. 



Carnations are doing rather better 

 and the somewhat cooler weather is im- 

 proving their quality. Ward, Matchless 

 and Pink Delight continue to be the 

 favorites here, with Laddie supreme 

 among the fancies. Roses have had a 

 hard time of late and quotations on 

 them are diflScult, the motto being ' ' Sell 

 as best you can." 



Sweet peas are abundant; in fact, I 

 never saw so many good peas here at 

 this time of the year. Sales are good. 

 Calendulas are fine, but overabundant. 

 Pansies are of splendid quality and sell 

 better than violets. Paper White nar- 

 cissi sell steadily. Small lots of astei's 

 and gladioli are still seen, but the pres- 

 ent week will see the end of them and 

 dahlias, cosmos and other outdoor 

 flowers. 



A few nice gardenias are seen, while 

 Bouvardia Humboldtii still arrives in 

 small lots. A fair supply of cattleyas 

 continues to come in and more of the 

 insigne type of cypripedium, some of 

 the yellow type being also offered. 

 Nerines in small lots are also coming 

 in and these beautiful bulbous flowers 

 sell well. 



There is a little better demand for 

 adiantum and asparagus. 



Fall Horticultural Show. 



While a mere ghost of many of the 

 autumn exhibitions held in Boston two 

 decades ago, when big blooms were all 

 the rage and competition in both plants 

 and cut flowers was keen, there were 

 nevertheless some fine exhibits at the 

 show held November 6 and 7. Spring 

 i>xhibitions have potent attractions 

 here, while fall shows are just the re- 

 verse. It was not always thus and 

 some day we may be able to present a 

 creditable fall show in Boston. 



There was little competition in tlie 

 chrysanthemum cut bloom class and 

 practically none for pot plants, but some 

 fine material was shown just the same. 



Walter II. Golby, superintendent for 

 Edward A. Clark, won first prize for 

 specimen trained white with Garza, first 

 for yellow with Mrs. William Diickham 

 and first for bronze with Ilortus Tolu- 

 sanus. In the cut bloom classes James 

 Nicol, the veteran octogenarian mum 

 fancier from Quincy, won for twelve 

 Japanese incurved with splendid flowers 

 of that grand old variety, Mrs. Jerome 

 Jones, still without a peer when well
