The Market. 



Business since the Knights Templar 

 conclave has been decidedly flat. There 

 are some fine asters on the market, but 

 there is no demand for them. Sweet 

 peas and gladioli are about gone. Good 

 roses are still scarce. Some new-crop 

 carnations are on the market, but the 

 stems arc short. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Valentine and N. A. Benson 

 are spending their vacation fishing. 



John Sked, of the Park Floral Co., 

 is taking a well earned rest. 



The Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop had a 

 novel decoration last week, being called 

 on to arrange a summer garden for a 

 private theatrical performance. 



The park superintendents held their 

 fifteenth annual convention in this 

 city, August 25 to 27. The park board 

 was assisted by the Denver florists in 

 entertaining the guests. L. 



Manchester, Mass. — At the annual 

 flower show of the North Shore Horti- 

 culturar Society, B. Hammond Tracy, of 

 Wenham, took the silver medal ofifered 

 for the best display of gladioli by com- 

 mercial growers only, showing Dawn, 

 Sunrise, Mrs. Francis King and others. 

 Southworth Bros., of Beverly, showed 

 a fine collection of hardy phlox and 

 Axel Magnuson, of Manchester, had 

 a table of annuals, not in competition.
