BOSTON. 



The Market 



Business has been fairly good ami 

 flowers have cleaned up better than for 

 some time. Rosea are gradually improv- 

 ing, but need cooler weather than we are 

 now getting to give them size. Carna- 

 tions are increasing in quantity, but are 

 not nearly sufficient for requirements yet. 

 The quality is not yet high class. A 

 few single violets made their appear- 

 ance this week. They are, however, 

 small and pale. A few cold nights will 

 improve them. Gladioli are still fairly 

 abundant, but will not last much longer. 



Asters still dominate the market and 

 are quite abundant at a wide range of 

 prices, some first-class stock bringing 

 $2.50 to $3 per hundred, while small 

 stock has only made 25 cents to 30 cents. 

 Lilium Harrisii and L. speciosum are 

 both in fair supply and there is plenty 

 of cosmos. The early mums should make 

 their appearance in a day or two, but 

 meanwhile the best quality asters will 



discount them. A few sweet peas are 

 still coming in. Some dahlias are seen, 

 but these are not popular market flowers 

 in Boston. 



Qub Meeting. 



About 150 members attended the club 

 meeting September 19, which opened the 

 fall season, the gathering being a rous- 

 ing and enthusiastic one. The lecture of 

 the evening, by Dr. R. G. Leavitt, of the 

 Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Eas- 

 ton, on * * Hybridization, ' ' proved e.K- 

 tremely interesting. What takes place 

 after fertilization, the Mendelian law, the 

 jirobable effects of using double pollen. 

 and other phases, were all touched upon 

 by the lecturer, who used the blackboard 

 to illustrate some of his remarks. A dis- 

 cussion followed and a rising vote of 

 thanks was tendered Dr. Leavitt. 



The report of the picnic committee 

 was read and accepted and the committee 

 and prize donors thanked. Prizes of $2, 

 $4 and $6 offered last October for gera- 

 nium plants to be started at that time, 

 from cuttings, and shown in September, 



1907, were competed for by young gar- 

 deners and some excellent specimens were 

 shown. The exhibition was further added 

 to by a goodly number of names. Re- 

 freshments were served, as usual. Ar- 

 rangement was made for the coming field 

 day, at Marblehead, with W. W. Rawson 

 & Co., September 21. A special coach 

 for club members will be attached to the 

 12:44 train at North station. Tickets, 

 free. Other business kept the meeting 

 until quite a late hour. 



Various Notes. 



Oakes Ames, of North Easton, has dis- 

 posed of his collection of orchids, the 

 largest portion being donated to Bronx 

 park. New York. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold its annual exhibition of 

 fruits and vegetables October 10 and 11. 

 The chrysanthemum show, November 8 

 to 10, promises to be better than any 

 held of late years. The liberal special 

 prizes are proving a great attraction.
