William, which was awarded honorable 

 mentioD. 



George Hoffis bad a table of seedling 

 ■double peonies, two of which received 

 honorable mention. 



The Boston Mycological Club had its 

 irst exhibit of mushrooms. 



Ebchibitorg should bear in mind that 

 they can bring plants, flowers or other 

 •exhibits every Saturday to Horticultural 

 Tiall. Even when no prizes are offered, 

 the committee will make suitable awards, 

 and commercial growers especially will 

 find these Saturday shows splendid ad- 

 vertisements, as the public attendance is 

 largd. 



Variota Notes. 



Penn, at 43 Bromfield street, took 

 first prize for decorated wagon in the 

 parade at Somerville July 4. The horses 

 took first prize May 30 in the Boston 



work-horse parade in which 917 horses 

 were entered. 



The sports committee of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club is hard a,t work 

 on the program for the annual picnic 

 in Dorchester park, July 25. They in- 

 tend to far outdo anything carried out 

 at similar preceding affairs. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. report that 

 the season has been an exceedingly busy 

 one until now and they are more than 

 satiafled witit- ikaiM shaxe of busin^as. 



W. B. Goodenoagh, of South Stongh- 

 ton, will add another house, 26x125 feet, 

 for violets this season. At present he is 

 growing tomatoes in his houses, but may 

 change to cucumbers another year. 



William Sim is now marketing big 

 quantities of Comet tomatoes of his 

 usual high quality- 



Thomas Roland, of Nahant, will sail 

 for Europe this week. He will espe- 



cially be on the lookout for new and 

 desirable plants for pot culture. 



James Farquhar has gone to Porto 

 Rico for a visit. His firm has business 

 interests there which may detain him for 

 some time. .... 



W. H. Elliott is making good progress 

 on his big new rose house, at Madbury, 

 N. H., and expects it to produce some 

 grand Richmond and Killarney. 



Carbone, the Boylston street florist, is 

 on his annual European trip. 



Not much convention talk is heard 

 yet, but, .the probabilities are that Boston 

 will send an extra good delegation to 

 Philadelphia. 



Glorious weather was vouchsafed us 

 on the great and glorious Fourtii. We 

 have not heard of any casualties among 

 the craft. W. N. CltAia. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastcra Market. 



The week commencing with the glori- 

 ous Fourth and ending on Wednesday 

 has been extremely dull. Flowers are 

 being sold now and then, that is all. 

 Beauties, Kaiserins, Maids (when good) 

 and valley are in demand. Carnations, 

 sweet peas and outdoor flowers are not. 

 There are a few good Cattleya GaakeUi- 

 ana, plenty of Harrisii and candidum 

 lilies. Coreopsis does hot sell. The dou- 

 ble blue cornflower continues to be taken 

 in preference to the single. White car- 

 nations average better in quality than 

 pink. Greens are in fair demand. The 

 statistics for the week ending July 6 

 show that there were 300 less deaths in 

 the city than during the corresponding 

 week of last year. 



The Adcnowlcdgmcnt of a D^. 



In the early days of the wholesale cut 

 flower business in this city it was an 

 understood thing that every grower who 

 could possibly afford the time carried his 

 own flowers to the retailers and sold 

 them himself. Later, as the market be- 

 came more critical, requiring his pres- 

 ence in the greenhouses 9, larger part of 

 the day, a representative did the selling, 

 but always direct to the retailer, not 

 through a wholesale oonunission house.
