The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 18, 1907. 



BOSTON. 



The Market 



Intense dullness prevails in the flower 

 market, with hardly a ripple to disturb 

 it. A little funeral work, and some ship- 

 ping to seaside and other points, are ap- 

 parently about the only factors which 

 keep trade alive at all. Prices are hard 

 to quote. A few good summer roses are 

 seen, of Carnot and Kaiserin. All others 

 are of poor quality. Carnations are de- 

 cidedly inferior. Many growers are pull- 

 .ing out and replanting and few decent 

 flowers will be seen for a couple of 

 months. There is an abundant supply of 

 outdoor sweet peas, which sell as well as 

 anything. Owing to the dry weather, 

 stems are rather short. Asters appeared 

 this week in small numbers, but it will 

 be a fortnight before there is an ade- 

 quate supply. Some Lilium candidum of 

 fair quality were seen last week and 

 there is the customary supply of coreop- 

 sis, cornflowers and other outdoor stock. 



Various Notes. 



The attendance at the annual picnic of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, in 

 Dorchester park, July 25, promises to 

 easily break all records. The location 

 selected is convenient of access for all 

 and will prove an ideal place for the 

 games. Captains for the rival baseball 

 nines, representing the commercial and 

 private growers, have secured strong 

 teams, while in the tug of war the gar- 

 deners are again determined to pull their 

 opponents all over the park. Duncan 

 Finlayson, Peter Miller and Wilfred 

 Wheeler have selected a splendid lot of 

 prizes and the numerous athletic events 

 promise to be more keenly contested than 

 ever. 



The garden committee of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society visited the 

 estate of J. R. Leeson, of Newton Cen- 

 tre, July 13. James Cartwright, who is 

 in charge, had everything in fine shape. 



A fine show of sweet peas and other 

 seasonable flowers is expected at Hor- 

 ticultural hall July 20. 



W. W. Kawson & Co. have a hundred 

 varieties of sweet peas on trial at their 

 Marblehead farm and hope for a large 

 number of visitors during old home 

 week, which comes July 27 to August 3. 

 There will be no horticultural attraction 

 in Boston for the visitors, the committee 

 finally deciding not to change the date 

 of coming exhibitions. 



Patrick Welch is enjoying his annual 

 vacation at Old Orchard, Me., but hopes 

 to be on hand for the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion at Philadelphia. 



William Swan is at Holderness, N. H., 

 recovering from a bad attack of the 

 grip. W. N. Craig. 



MANCHESTER. MASS. 



The annual rose show of the North 

 Shore Horticultural Society was held in 

 a tent on the grounds of the Essex 

 County Club July 10 and 11. Lager & 

 Hurrell showed a fine exhibit of orchids. 

 Julius Huerlin had a collection of liliums 

 in variety and Alstroemeria aurantica. 

 Henry A. Dreer exhibited the new dou- 

 ble lobelia, Kathleen Mallard, and 

 Nephrolepis Amerpohlii. The J. H. 

 Troy cup offered for the best collection 

 of roses, to be won three times before 

 becoming the property of the exhibitor, 

 was won for the third time by Fred 

 Brasch, gardener to Mrs. James 

 McMillan. The cup offered by Julius 

 Huerlin for the best collection of herba-
