One or two small bunches of aiixgle vio- 

 lets appeared last week. In two or 

 three weeks there will be good pickings 

 from outdoors. 



Asters are abundant and good, with 

 the prices a little lower. Gladioli con- 

 tinue overabundant and they move 

 slowly. Lilium longiflorum and aura- 

 tum have been selling better. Valley 

 is good and in fair demand. The few 

 sweet peas that come in are poor. A 

 good many dahlias arrive; the cactus 

 and peony-flowered sell well. Good 

 cosmos sells well, but a lot of poor ma- 

 terial is seen. A considerable number 

 of montbretias are arriving, and Hy- 

 drangea paniculata grandiflora is used 

 freely in window decorations. Green 

 stock shows a little more activity with 

 the arrival of cooler weather. 



Various Notes. 



The annual auction sale ut stalls at 

 the Boston Flower Exchange, Winthrop 

 square, took place September 6. The 

 weather was clear and crisp and a large 

 number of growers were in attendance. 

 First choice fell to W. W. Edgar Co., at 

 a premium of $85 over and above the 

 rent, which is $25 per stall. N. E. 

 Boyle, of Maiden, secured second 

 choice. The bidding was animated, 

 aijd, while prices did not reach the high 

 figures of last year, the general average 

 held up better and the net receipts were 

 satisfactory to the directorss. 



Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Houghton are 

 home from a vacation spent in a log 

 f-abiu on an island in Lake Winnepe- 

 saukee, N. H., which theyfounj^ V\»*ftul 

 and enjoyable. Mr. Houghton says fall 

 trade is starting up nicely and that 

 summer business was good. 



William W. Tailby is the candidate 

 of the Democratic party for representa- 

 tive to the general court from the 

 eleventh Norfolk district. 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar- 

 ket disposed of 110 stalls at its auction 

 August 30. The rentals were dropped 

 from $25 to $20 per stall. The gross 

 receipts from the auction werr $1,200 

 ahead of 1912. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. keeps its 

 windows attractively arranged at all 

 times. Baskets of yellow montbretias 

 and Richmond roses, and scarlet mont- 

 bretias with Mrs. Aaron Ward roses, 

 made an effective display September 6.
