The Market. 



With the school exercises and wed- 

 dings, business last week was- good. 

 Roses are small and of summer quality; 

 the suppljr is large. The supply of car- 

 nations IS becoming limited, as the 

 growers are already replanting. Carna- 

 tions show the effects of the heat. In- 

 door sweet peas are past; some outdoor 

 peas are seen in the market. 



Various Notes. 



The barn at Elizabeth park was de- 

 stroyed by fire June 24. The damage is 

 estimated at $5,000, which is covered 

 by insurance. The greenhouses were 

 threatened, but as a result of hard work 

 on the part of volunteers they escaped 

 with a little cracked glass and scorched 

 woodwork. 



June 21 was rose day at Elizabeth, 

 park; 20,000 people visited the rose gar- 

 dens on that day. The interest of the 

 public was shown by the many note- 

 books and pencils. Almost as many vis- 

 itors are expected June 28, when the 

 ramblers will be at their best. 



Albert Brodrib has completed plant- 

 ing out. He undoubtedly has the larg- 

 est bedding trade in the city. Ronald 

 Chinquin, formerly with A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc., has joined the Brodrib force. 



Walter Miller has resigned his position 

 as foreman of the retail department of 

 A. N. Pierson, Inc., to accept the posi- 

 tion of head gardener on the estate of 

 Dr. Williams, of Prospect street. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting June 26. 

 It was perennial night. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, has 

 carnation planting well under way. This 

 has been a banner year for shipments 

 of young stock; express cars loaded en- 

 tirely with young stock left Cromwell 

 daily during the height of the shipping 

 season. Building operations were de- 

 layed by the lateness of spring, but are 

 now well under way. The dimensions 

 of the new range have increased; the 

 rose houses will be five 33x500, one 

 50x500, and one 40x500, instead of 33x 

 300, as first planned and mentioned in 

 The Review. R. C. S.
