the house in which he resides and a sub- 

 stantial sum of money, and provision is 

 made for a college education for his 

 children. It is pleasing to see faithful 

 services thus rewarded. 



Everything points to a fine attend- 

 ance June 21, at the ladies' night of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- 

 ton. A splendid entertainment has been 

 prepared by the committee, including a 

 noted male quartette, a lady violinist, 

 several soloists and a reader. Every- 

 thing will be equal to last year's high 

 standard. Refreshments and dancing 

 will follow the entertainment. 



Last year Waltham fair was started, 

 and the floral committee, E. A. Peirce, 

 Frank Edgar and Henry Stewart, got 

 up a schedule which produced a really 

 grand show of flowers, in which retail- 

 ers took a prominent part. This year 

 the same committee has prepared an 

 even finer premium list, which will 

 guarantee a superb show. 



Janiten & Kunan, of Arlington, have 

 about 10,000 cyclamens, some in 6-inch 

 pots, all in splendid condition. Several 

 houses are being planted with chrysan- 

 themums and ferns. At their farm, 

 about 7,000 roses are planted put, also 

 quantities of hydrangeas, berried sola- 

 nums, etc. W. X. C.

The Market. 



Business is keeping up unusually 

 well, and the wholesalers are cleaning 

 up daily. In fact, there have been days 

 this month when orders were turned 

 down, because the desired stock was not 

 available. In the retail stores, on many 

 occasions, the florists have been hard 

 put to it to find flowers enough to make 

 up baskets and the heavy run of funeral 

 designs that have been ordered. 



The month of June this year will 

 prove one of the heaviest non-holiday 

 months in the history of the business. 

 There has been some unusually desir- 

 able wedding business; funeral busi- 

 ness has been heavy, and the weather 

 has been cool enough to foster the sale 

 of cut flowers for general purposes. The 

 call for delphiniuiu has been so heavy 

 that it far. exceeds the supply. Its pop- 

 ularity is increasing and it is always 

 called for in the making of graduation 

 bouquets, baskets and wedding decora- 

 tions. It is a flower that is suitable for 

 all purposes. 



That Shasta daisies this year are bet- 

 ter than in any previoiis year is the 

 unanimous declaration. They are com- 

 ing in large and in quantities, and find 

 ready sale. Phlox, too, is all used as it 

 comes into the wholesale houses. How- 

 ever, it does not last and is not, there- 

 fore, 80 popular. 



Lily of the valley is in good demand 

 and sells readily. Some of the whole- 

 salers report they always sell out of this 

 flower and do not get enough to fill the 

 demand. Orchids are scarce. Some 

 snapdragon is to be had, but it is small 

 and not desirable. A good many Dorothy 

 Perkins sprays from outdoors are ar- 

 riving. These are exceptionally nice 

 for making up baskets and table deco- 

 rations. 



Considering the lateness of the season, 

 the quality of carnations now offered 

 is good and they are bringing a good 

 price. The outdoor sweet peas now 

 offered are as good as tlie indoor stock. 



Gladioli are wonderful. They are sell- 

 ing at a .slight reduction from the prices
