SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



There has been an abundance of cut 

 flowers, notwithstanding the fact that 

 there has been little rain in this part of 

 New England. Garden flowers, asters 

 and carnations are the best sellers. The 

 demand for roses is small. Carnations 

 are scarce and poor in quality. Gladioli 

 improve day by day and are much more 

 profitable as fall comes on. Asters are 

 coming along in fine shape and are good, 

 considering the drought. Lilies of the 

 valley are small, and, fortunately, there 

 is little demand for them. Orchids sell 

 occasionally for funerals, but that is all. 

 Asparagus and cut ferns are abundant. 

 Sweet peas are on the wane and are 

 therefore quite poor. Centaureas are 

 good sellers just now. Some florists are 

 making up combination bouquets of gar- 

 den flowers of various colors and kinds 

 and they sell readily tor hospitals, siek 

 y rooms, verandas and cemeteries. 



Private gardeners find it quite a task 

 to keep their lawns in good condition 

 this summer, because df the drought. 

 The high water rates here are also a 

 hindrance to the keeping of fine lawns. 



Various Notes. 



L. D. Robinson is producing some 

 good gladioli and he has them in large 

 quantities. His asters are mostly late 

 ones. 



Osterman & Steele are showing some 

 extra good Lilium auratum in their dis- 

 play window this week. 



Bobert Schoch, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, was in town for a few 

 hours last week. He was headed for 

 Minneapolis. 



N. F. Higgins had an attractive dis- 

 play of fancy baskets, arranged with cut 

 flowers, in his window last week. 



Mark Aitken has closed his sale on 

 jardinieres, baskets and glassware, and 

 has moved into his fine new store, at 

 484 Main street. The new store is most 

 attractively finished in white enamel 

 throughout, and has large display win- 

 dows and two skylights, which make it 

 practically a daylight store. 



Mrs. E. C. Armbrust has returned 

 from her home in New Britain, Conn. 



The first of the fruit and flower shows 

 under the auspices of the Springfield 

 Horticultural Society, the Hampden 

 County Improvement League and the 

 Springfield Union, were held August 19 

 and 20, in the Science Museum. There 

 were $40 in awards for the flowers, while 

 ribbons were given to the winners of 

 the fruit prizes. E. C. A. 



Lebanon, Pa. — Joseph F. Vavrous, 

 proprietor of the Guilford Street Green- 

 houses, is building an addition, 16x30 

 feet, t» his greenhouses and making a 

 number of improvements to meet the 

 demands of his rapidly growing busi- 

 ness.
