irrigation when it is needed. There 

 are no roses being cut from these plant- 

 ings. While gladioli are coming in 

 pretty freely, the spikes are short, with 

 undersized flowers, and are burned by 

 the sun. This week should see better- 

 stock. Asters are making their appear- 

 ance in small numbers, but are of poor 

 quality, not being well filled in the cen- 

 ter. Roses are scarce. In fact, we have 

 seldom seen so little in the iceboxes as 

 at present, and much that we do see 

 has been shipped from Chicago. The 

 heat drove people from the city early 

 this season, so that there has been lit- 

 tle real business for several weeks. Last 

 week, however, stock was well used up 

 by a run of funeral work. 



The growers have been busy renovat- 

 ing their greenhouses and planting 

 their fall stock. Some of our best 

 growers give their empty benches a 

 coat of coal tar, letting the tar dry 

 pretty well befor.e refilling with new 

 soil. They say that it not only pro- 

 longs the life of the wood, but is a 

 powerful insecticide as well. They say 

 that they avoid much trouble with 

 pests in this way. Flats are also thus 

 treated before being used for the plant- 

 ing of seeds. 



Various Notes. 



Mclntyre Bros, had a pretty window 

 decoration last week, showing a country 

 scene, with two rustic houses and a 

 well-kept lawn, decorated with palms 

 and ferns. Their plant display room 

 has a comparatively bare look at pres- 

 ent, as stock is well cleaned up. 



H. S. Joy has returned to Nahant, 

 Mass., from his visit at home. 



At the Joy store most of the help are 

 off on a vacation and those remaining 

 are sweating over a heavy lot of 

 funeral orders. They have had a pretty 

 hard time with their outdoor stock this 

 season, but the houses were never in 

 better condition at this time of year. 



It is reported that Frank Cornell has 

 sold the old place and is rebuilding in 

 the northeast part of the city. He will 

 add cut flowers, in a small way, to his 

 pot plant business. He does not con- 

 template opening a store, however. 



At 'J. F. Corbitt's place everything is 

 in shape for an increased business in 

 growing plants for the trade. Mr. Cor- 

 bitt means to devote his space largely 

 to bedding plants this year. 



Geny Bros, have been inconvenienced 

 of late in getting in and out with their 

 delivery car, as the street has been torn 

 up for repaving. From present prog-
