portance to the members. Mr. Fulgraf

The Market 



Business in cut flowers has been quite 

 good of late and chrysanthemums have 

 not yet overwhelmed the market, al- 

 though they are now exceedingly abun- 

 dant. Quite a variety of the queen of 

 autumn is now offered. In addition to 

 such earlies as Polly Bose, Pacific, 

 Adele, Monrovia, Halliday, Ivory, Touset 

 and others, some of the midsea.son and 

 even late ones are seen, Bonnaffon be- 

 ing noted on several occasions. Few- 

 fancy prices are being made, $2.50 to $3 

 per dozen being the top-notch figures. 

 Roses continue to improve in quality and 

 have been plentiful, due to the continu- 

 ance of clear skies. Prices are, if any- 

 thing, inclined to sag a little. 



Carnations also have been coming for- 

 ward in increasing numbers, but have 

 sold quite well for the season. Numer- 

 ous society weddings have helped to re- 

 lieve the market of late. 



Violets are plentiful, but are not yet 

 in special favor. A large proportion are 

 being picked outdoors, many growers 

 having only started to house their plants 

 of the single sorts. LiKums are rather 

 scarce. Some cosmos, tuberoses, gladioli, 

 mignonette and snapdragon are arriv- 

 ing, but only sell moderately well. As- 



paragus and ferns remain about the 

 same. Supplies of boxwood and other 

 greenery are now coming to hand. 



Various Notes.

 Massachusetts Horticultural Societjr an- 

 nounces the following list of candidates

The committee on prizes and exhibi- 

 tions met October 19 and perfected ar- 

 rangements for the coming chrysanthe- 

 mum show, which opens November 8. A 

 ladies' ojchestra will give concerts dur- 

 ing the exhibition, which promises to be 

 superior to any held of late years. The 

 special premiums promise to be keenly 

 contested for. These are mostly offered 

 for commercial growers. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners'' 

 and Florists' Club, unless all signs fail, 

 wiU be the banner one of the year in 

 point of attendance. The election of of- 

 ficers for the ensuing year will be the 

 prime attraction, but there will be other 

 interesting features. 



The emporium of Welch Bros., at 22e 

 Devonshire street, is a busy place these 

 days. An enormous quantity of flowers 

 is received and dispatched each day. 

 They are getting some Beauty, Rich- 

 mond and Killarney roses especially fine 

 for the season. 



Daniel Iliffe lias recently had con- 

 tracts for new iron benches, heating,, 

 ventilating, etc., at Ced&r Grove cem- 

 etery and Woodlawn cemetery, Everett. 

 He has also been making heating 

 changes for the Spaulding estate. Prides 

 Crossing; Weld estate, Brookline, and 

 Plant estate, Groton, Conn. 



J. F. Flood & Co. are, as usual, mak- 

 ing a specialty of mushrooms at thei^ 

 Dedham establishment. Their carna- 

 tions are doing especially well this sea- 

 son, five houses being devoted to them. 



The numerous private gardeners along 

 the north shore are planning to have 

 landscape gardening classes and lectures 

 the coming winter at Manchester. 



William Spillsbury and A. T. Kidder 

 are among those who are marketing ex- 

 cellent Princess of Wales violets. 



William Sim is bringing in some fine
