The Florists' Review

stock and are busy replanting. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are of good quality for 

 summer. Scott Key is good, Columbia 

 holds up well, and there are some nice 

 Ward, but the Killarneys, Ophelia and 

 Butterfly are not at all up to the mark. 

 There are some nice Crusader, Hadley 

 and Premier, but good quality flowers 

 are now scarce. Outdoor roses cut but 

 little figure in the wholesale market, 

 but at present they are of splendid 

 quality and such hybrid perpetuals as 

 Brunner, Laing, Druschki, Magna 

 Charta, Jacqueminot and Luizet quite 

 outclass any indoor roses coming in. 

 The outdoor hybrid teas also, like Lady 

 Ashtown, Caroline Testout, Duchess of 

 Wellington, Los Angeles, J. B. Clark 

 and Kadiance, are fine. 



Carnations are being pulled up on all 

 hands, and while large numbers still 

 come in, they realize low prices. Last 

 week one sale of 10,000 realized $21 

 for the grower. Good flowers bring $2, 

 but a great many, if sold at all, make 

 exceedingly low prices. Quality is now 

 down to a low ebb. There are as yet 

 only limited supplies of outdoor sweet 

 peas, and the recent heat wave spoiled 

 the indoor crop in great measure. Most 

 of the flowers seen are poor. For white 

 and yellow marguerites there is no 

 great demand. Bachelor's buttons of 

 good quality sell well, as does also del- 

 phinium, now available in quantity 

 from outdoors. Peonies continue to 

 straggle in, but they are practically 

 over; the season for them has been 

 ainusually short. 



('alias are still coming in, but arc not 

 much wanted. There is a fine supply of 

 Lilium longiflorum, and to this is to be 

 added Lilium regale, which is seen in 

 considei'able numbers for the first time. 

 The flowers now seen are grown under 

 glass, but the outdoor crop will appear 

 in a few days. There are small lots of 

 snajidragons, feverfew, stocks, candy- 

 tuft, digitalis, gaillardia, gypsophila, 

 aquilegia and other miscellaneous 

 flowers. 



With the numerous weddings, there 

 has been a good call for valley, and the 

 small supplies of white bouvardia are 

 readily absorbed. Several varieties of 

 cattleya, such as gigas, Harrisonise, 

 Mendelii and Mossiae, are still obtain- 

 able. Gladioli are rather overdone and 

 are not selling especially well. 



Flowering plants are now rather scarce 

 and are mainly hydrangeas, gloxinias 

 and begonias. There are still some sales 

 of bedding plants, of which stocks are 

 largely exhausted. Salmon pink gera- 

 niums are about the only sorts now ob- 

 tainable. . .. .^j 



Peony Exhibition. 



Some years there are no peonies in 

 flower here June 17, although that date 

 usually fits well as a show date for 

 Boston and vicinity. The recent heat 

 wave entirely upset calculations and 

 reduced exhibits at Horticultural hall 

 materially; in fact, but for T. C. Thur- 

 low's Sons, Inc., there would have been 

 hardly any show at all, and most of 

 that firm's flowers had been cut June 9 

 and kept in cold storage. As it was, 

 the peonies more than half filled the 

 main exhibition hall and were of ex- 

 tremely fine quality. Although there 

 were no classes for any flowers but 

 peonies, seasonable displays of sweet 

 Williams, roses, herbaceous perennials 

 and shrubs added interest to the show 

 and gave pleasure to the large numbers 

 of visitors each day. In connection
