SPBINGFIEU), MASS. 



The Market. 



Koses, asters, gladioli and all garden 

 flowers are plentiful. Trade is im- 

 proving each week and the weather is 

 cooler now. There are still no carna- 

 tions. Boston ferns are quite plenti- 

 ful. Fall openings are beginning to 

 add their volume of business to the 

 fall trade. 



An Italian Garden. 



The Italian garden of Walter H. 

 Wesson is one of the most beautiful 

 and artistic pieces of landscape archi- 

 tecture in Springfield. It is situated 

 on the top of a hill surrounded by a 

 stone wall and overlooking the Con- 

 necticut valley, a beautiful view of 

 which is obtained from the pergola. 

 Fountains, canopied seats and statuary 

 imported from Italy add to its attrac- 

 tion. Circular beds of marguerites, 

 lemon verbenas and sweet alyssum sur- 

 round the fountains. Henry Dicarlo, 

 the Italian gardener, keeps this garden 

 in typical Italian style. 



The terraced gardens on the hillside 

 directly below the Italian garden have 

 been a place of beauty all summer, 

 with the pink and crimson ramblers, 

 the rose garden, rare shrubbery and 

 old-fashioned garden flowers. The 

 lawn itself is unusually green, in 

 spite of the drought, which has made 

 the other places dry and brown; Mr. 

 Dicarlo has achieved this result by spe- 

 cial care and watering all summer. 



Various Notes. 



The store of L. D. Robinson has 

 been remodeled and the front dropped 

 to a level with the street, so that now 

 one can enter the store without step- 

 ping up to reach the door. 



A surprise party was given Walter 

 Nelson at his home on Wellington 

 . street on the evening of September 4, 

 in honor of his twenty-first birthday. 

 The employees of the store presented 

 to him a pair of gold cuflf links. About 

 thirty were present and all had a most 

 enjoyable time. 



Miss May French and her mother 

 visited Huntington, Mass., on Labor 

 day. 



William Schlatter has returned from 

 Indian Neck, Conn., where he has been 

 spending his vacation. 



P. S. Caldwell, who started a florists' 

 store in connection with his father's 

 undertaking business last spring, has 

 • given it up for lack of patronage. 



H. F. Midgley, of Worcester, was in 

 town last week, visiting the trade, and 

 looked over the greenhouses of Mark 

 Aitken, in Agawam. 

 ^ Mark Aitken has a new electric 

 sign, which improves his new store 

 greatly. His new refrigerator is being 

 constructed by the United Refrigera- 

 tor £ Ice Machine Co. E. C. A.
