 July's intolerable heat and humidity. 

 There is no great amount of business 

 outside of funeral work and an occa- 

 sional wedding. It continues to be a 

 aladiolus market and these jiopular 

 summer flowers are everywhere in 

 evidence, of grand (piality. l'ri<'es 

 \;iry considerably. Such varieties as

orange-colored primnlinus hybrids, 

 whicli are more decorative and better 

 in floral work than the showier but 

 heavier gandavensis types. Asters are 

 in increased supply, all being Queen of 

 the Market. White sells the best, blue 

 the slowest. 



Hoses meet with a fair demand,, es- 

 pecially whites. Columbia remains the 

 favorite, with Premier, Hadley, Scott 

 Key, Crusader, Russell and Miller next 

 in favor. Few carnations and sweet 

 peas come in and the quality is low. 

 Speciosum lilic^s sell better than longi- 

 florums. Del]diiniums are more plenti- 

 ful and in good demand; so are bou- 

 vardias and buddleias. Such garden 

 flowers as gaillardias, gypsophilas, 

 candytuft, everlastings, bachelor's but- 



tons, silencs and scabiosas are soea and 

 sell slowly. 



There is a decided scarcity of cat- 

 tleyas, and retailers having orders have 

 great difficulty in securing any flowers. 

 Valley is also scarce, but there is little 

 demand for it. There are sm.all lots of 

 gardenias, mostly on short stems. The 

 demand for asparagus is light. 



Field Day at Lexington. 



Tlie annual field day of market grow- 

 ers at the market garden field station 

 at Lexington, Mass., was held August 3. 

 The day was quite i)leasant, a maximum 

 temperature of 75 degrees and clear 

 skies drawing a record attendance of 

 over 800. About 300 automobilea were 

 I)arked on or near the grounds. Many
