While all Ferns are good in summer, ours are a 



little better than the best. If you order 



one shipment, you will use no others.

cated in the basement of Music Hall, 

 will relocate on the street floor in Oc- 

 tober, where they have better light and 

 air than at present. 



Dahlias are remarkably fine here this 

 season, thanks to the copious moisture 

 we have had. John K. Alexander, of 

 East Bridgewater, who grows some 550 

 varieties, has a splendid show, as have 

 the other large growers in this section. 



There was a large display of choice 

 flowers at the funeral of Mrs. Thomas 

 W. Lawson last week. McMulkin fur- 

 nished flowers for the family.

The Market. 



Trade ia quiet, and thousands of pink 

 and white Cochet roses are thrown out 

 daily. Good asters are scarce, but plenty 

 of poor stuff is dumped on the market, 

 for which there is no sale. Gladioli and 

 auratums of good quality are coming in 

 and sell fairly well. Asparagus is plen- 

 tiful, but smilax is out of the question. 



Horticultural Society. 



The annual meeting of the State Hor- 

 ticultural Society was held at Orlando 

 Harrison's place, in Berlin. The Gar- 

 deners' Club, being the guest of the So- 

 ciety, was largely represented, about fifty 

 members .taking advantage of the spe- 

 cial invitation. The trip was one that 

 will be long remembered, from a social 

 point of view, as well as for the in- 

 structive good which the guests derived. 



Three hours each, by boat and by 

 railroad, was the time it took to get to 

 Berlin. After arriving, dinner was at 

 once served on the lawn at Mr. Harri- 

 son's place. The table was decorated 

 with flowers and fruits, and plenty of 

 good things to satisfy the inner man 

 were provided. After dinner there were 

 several addresses delivered, which lasted 

 until 4 o'clock. Mr. Harrison then had 

 every vehicle in Berlin that could be 

 utilized for passengers, even one of the 

 large hay wagons, pressed into service. 

 About forty of the visitors rode over the 

 7-mile drive to inspect the Harrison nurs- 

 ery of over a thousand acres of trees. 

 The nurseries comprise fourteen farms, 

 and each farm has its superintendent 

 and employees. The visitors saw col- 

 ored men, women and boys, who are 

 largely employed on the place, engaged 

 in budding peach trees that had been 

 grown from seed. An idea of the im- 

 mensity of these nurseries can be real-

 are also large numbers of apples, pears
