BOSTON. 



The Market. 



There is little change to report in mar- 

 ket conditions. Demand continues ex- 

 tremely light and more flowers are ar- 

 riving than the market needs. This state 

 of afifairs is likely to continue for some 

 weeks longer. Boses are very poor. Few 

 good flowers are seen and prices are very 

 low. Carnations are practically out of 

 the market. A few flowers of the new 

 «Top are seen; not enough, however, to 

 make any impression. Prices vary from 

 .10 cents to $2 per hundred, the latter 

 for new crop blooms. The first crop of 

 jisters is about over and there is some 

 slackening up of supplies of these useful 

 summer flowers. Prices hold fairly firm 

 on- these. Gladioli are quite abundant, 

 selling from $3 per hundred upwards. 

 Sweet peas still arrive in fair quantity. 

 The stems, however, are short. The qual- 

 ity must be extra good to make 25 cents 

 per hundred. Liiium longiflorum is rath- 

 er scarce at present, but a nice supply of 



white and colored speciosum is coming 

 in, which sells well. A few dahlias are 

 seen, but these are not popular market 

 flowers in Boston. Some miscellaneous 

 lots of hardy flowers are arriving, which 

 meet with an erratic sale. 



Exhibition. 



The closing Saturday show of the sea- 

 son was held at Horticultural hall on 

 August 10, and in spite of the severe 

 drought there was a fine show of flow- 

 ers. For a collection of thirty or more 

 vases of perennial phloxes, T. C. Thur- 

 low led, followed by F. W. Spinney, C. 

 S. Pratt and J. L. McKissock. Gladioli 

 were not largely shown. W. "Whitman, 

 M. Sullivan, gardener, had the best 

 twelve named varieties and was also first 

 for fifty vases of asters, representing 

 all classes. The Blue Hill Nurseries 

 had an extensive display of herbaceous 

 perennials and a large and representa- 

 tive collection of phloxes. W. Whitman 

 also had a collection of phloxes and 

 liliums. Mrs. E. M. Gill had a general 

 display. E. L. Lewis showed thirty va- 



rieties of sweet peas. Mrs. J. B. Lau- 

 rence also had a good collection of the 

 latter, in addition to annuals and herba- 

 ceous plants. Charles W. Parker had 

 a nice collection of hardy roses, mostly 

 hybrid teas. W. W. Rawson & Co. had 

 a splendid collection of cactus dahUas in 

 some seventy-five varieties; also Glad- 

 iolus Harvard, which was awarded hon- 

 orable mention, and G. Kathryn, a beau- 

 tiful carmine colored seedling with im- 

 mense flowers. The flowers have a large 

 ivory-white lip, blotched with crimson 

 and maroon. This was awarded a cer- 

 tificate of merit and is a very promising 

 novelty, said to have originated from 

 the same seed as G. Harvard. 



At Marblehead. 



One of the most interesting private es- 

 tates on the Massachusetts north shore 

 is that of C. W. Parker, on Marblehead 

 Neck. Mr. Parker has for a number of 

 years been actively identified, with the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, be- 

 ing at present chairman of the garden 

 committee. Redgate, as Mr. Parker's es-
