worse at this time in both 1911 and 

 1912. 



Good flowers are not numerous. Such 

 as there are meet with a moderate sale. 

 Roses are handled chiefly by the street 

 men, but even these aids to the cut 

 flower trade have hard work to make 

 people buy flowers when they are mak- 

 ing desperate efforts to keep cool. Car- 

 nations are dwindling rapidly in size 

 and they must be good to bring $1 per 

 hundred. Sweet peas are overabundant 

 and many can not be sold. Lilies have 

 had for a day or two a fairly good sale. 

 Valley is good, but drags badly. Gyp- 

 sophilas, of both the annual and peren- 

 nial sorts, are plentiful and fairly popu- 

 lar. Their presence hurts the sale of 

 asparagus. Cattleyas are going slowly, 

 and of the miscellane^BS flowers it can 

 only be said that a wge part has to 

 go to the rubbish barrels daily. 



Vari6us Notes. 



Robert Montgomery, of Natick, has 

 just completed ^ new rose house and 

 has planted it., with Killarneys. He 

 hopes to finish planting his rose stock 

 this week and will then give his atten- 

 tion to hay-making, taking a vacation 

 at his cottage at Bastin 's Island, Me. 



Many visitors from distant parts are 

 expected for the exhibition of the Amer- 

 ican Sweet Pea Society, July 12 and 13. 

 The intense heat and the lack of rain 

 will make stems short unless some moist- 

 ure is vouchsafed to us this week. 



Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., is now lo- 

 cated at 126 Tremont street, next door 

 to the old site, where tearing down and 

 rebuilding operations are in progress. 



The Mathieson Greenhouses, Clematis 

 Brook, Mass., now leased by A. G. Cart- 

 wright, are practically all replanted 

 [Ooncladad on pace 34.]
