the great variety of other annuals com- 

 ing in. 1 



There arc not many lilies apart from 

 short-stemmed speciosums and they sell 

 poorly. Carnations with Short stems 

 are arriving, mostly outdoor picked. 

 They are small and of inferior quality, 

 and few people want them while splen- 

 did asters go begging. Eoses have 

 had a hard time, but, thanks to the 

 present cooler weather, are recover- 

 ing a little. Prices last week fell to 

 new low levpls. A few montbretias, 

 tritomas and aconitums are seen. Lark- 

 spur is abundant and sells poorly. 



There are no cattleyas except a few 

 hybrids, which realize high prices. Some 

 bouvardia and poor quality valley are 

 about the only choice flowers procur- 

 able. A little stephanotis this week, a 

 one-time favorite,' seemed something of 

 a novelty. 



Club Field Day. 



' The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 was favored with clear, warm weather 

 September 3 for the field day at Fram- 

 ingham. The shade temperature of 93 

 degrees was tempered, how«yer, by a 

 pleasant breeze, and about fifty ladies 

 and gentlemen spent a pleasant and 

 profitable afternoon. The Framingham 

 Nurseries and . the nurseries of the 

 American Forestry Co. were visited. 

 Description will be found in the Nurs- 

 ery Trade department of this issue. 

 Everyone enjoyed the field day im- 

 mensely and those who failed to at- 

 tend missed a great treat.

houses have all been planted some time 

 with carnations to the total number of 

 200,000 and the stock looks remarkably 

 good. This year Mr. Sim changed the 

 soil in all his greenhouses for the first 

 time in twenty years and it was a huge 

 task, but, from present appearances, 

 the added vigor of plants j)roves that 

 it will pay. 



A crowd of boys was busy finishing 

 the second tier of strings to the carna- 

 tions and quickly and deftly they 

 worked. It takes two and one-half tons 

 of galvanized wire each season to at- 

 tach the cross strings to. No wire is
