stocked. Dahlias are making their ap- 

 pearance in large quantities and, so 

 far, they have not had a ready sale. 

 Other kinds of flowers, both inside and 

 outside grown, are in about the same 

 condition as they have been for the last 

 month and no relief is in sight either 

 in the lessening of the quantity of 

 stock brought in or in the chances for 

 immediate business. 



Varioufi Notes. 



H, Sandkuhle, of the Sunset Nur- 

 series, at Piedmont, has returned from 

 a short trip to Portland, Ore. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. report a heavy

 tire month. 



H. Schluter, of San Eafael, has re- 

 turned from Portland, Ore., where he 

 attended the convention, 



Fred D. Mason is on a two weeks'

 with roses. Richmonds and Killarneys, 

 pink and white, are the leaders, but 

 some Mme. Charles Eussell is also being 

 grown. Over 14,000 plants are benched. 

 The flowers are all handled at the Bos- 

 ton Cooperative Market, Park street, by 

 G. J. Wood, 



Lester H. Mann, of Mann Bros., is 

 away on his annual vacation, which 

 will be quietly spent in the northern 

 part of Maine. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, 

 has the finest summer gardenias arriv- 

 ing. He also has extra fine valley. 



Mayor J. F. Fitzgerald is bound to 

 have a large municipal greenhouse lo- 

 cated in one of the parks of Boston, the 

 money to come from the Parkman be- 

 quest. The city council voted July 2 

 to spend $3,000 for plans of the pro- 

 posed building, which, it is expected, 

 will cost $150,000. 



W. R, Finlay, one of the best known 

 salesmen with the Flower Growers'

 gifts appropriate to the occasion. 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar- 

 ket donated a wagon-load of cut flow- 

 ers July 3 for distribution by the Bos- 

 ton Floral Emblem Society, to poor 

 children. I am glad that our whole- 

 sale markets are thus assisting this ex- 

 cellent organization in its laudable 

 work. 



W. J. Thurston, the genial manager 

 of the Boston Flower Exchange, leaves 

 on his annual vacation July 12. Ru- 

 mor has it that this is to be his honey- 

 moon trip, as he has haunted furniture 

 stores greatly of late. 



Some of the largest shippers of gyp- 

 sophila to the wholesale markets at 

 present are: The W. H. Knapp estate, 

 Newtonville; Charles E. Evans, Water- 

 town, and W. R. Nicholson, Framing- 

 ham. 



F. W. Fletcher & Co., of Auburndale, 

 invited florists, gardeners, park and 

 cemetery men and all others interested 

 in flowers, to come and see the new 

 antirrhinum, Nelrose, as a bedding 

 plant. It is certainly proving to be a 

 top-notcher as a bloomer outdoors.
