The Market 



Summer heat prevails and market con- 

 ditions are the reverse of encouraging. 

 Much of the stock now arriving is of 

 such poor quality that it is woith little. 

 Boses are, in many cases, coming badly 

 mildewed and only a limited number of 

 really good blooms are arriving. Kai- 

 serin takes the lead, some remarkably 

 fine ones being seen. Prices are low 

 and it is hard to dispose of the cheaper 

 grades. Carnations are also showing the 

 effects of the warm weather and are 

 getting small. Many also show the rav- 

 ages of red spider. Sweet peas are now 

 coming in small lots from outdoors and 

 sell quite well. There is little sale for 

 such lilies as are coming on, but lily of 

 the valley is in fair demand. Gladioli 

 are still quite plentiful, without any spe- 

 cial call for them. Peonies are abun- 

 dant, being several weeks earlier than 

 last year. Both singles and doubles are 

 seen, the latter predominating. There 

 is^ a fair demand for these, especially 

 pink and white varieties. 



There has been an active demand for 

 all bedding plants and some of the 

 larger speclialists in these are already al- 

 most sold out of stock. 



Rhododendron Show. 



There was a splendid show of rhodo- 

 dendrons and other seasonable flowers at 

 Horticultural hall June 6, the large ex- 

 hibition hall being entirely filled. For 

 largest collection of rhododendrons, six 

 trusses of each, Walter Hunnewell, T. D. 

 Hatfield gardener, was first with a splen- 

 did collection; Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wil- 

 liam Thatcher gardener, was second. 

 Walter Hunnewell filled three large ta- 

 bles with a great variety of hardy and 

 tender varieties. R. & J. Farquhar & 

 Co. had forty finely flowered rhododen- 

 drons in tubs, also numerous kalmias and 

 Canterbury bells, all beautifully flowered 

 and well arranged, the best group the 

 firm has ever shown, and were awarded 

 a silver gilt medal. They also had a 

 large and representative collection of 

 German iris and other herbaceous plants. 



Blue Hill Nurseries was first and sec- 

 ond for thirty bottles of herbaceous 

 plants. They received a certificate of 

 merit for the new Lupinus polyphyllus 

 Moerheimi. Thurlow & Co. were in the 

 lead for thirty-six vases of German iris; 

 F. J. Rea, second. Mrs. J. L. Gardner 

 had the best twenty-five orchids arranged 

 for effect, with foliage plants. J. E. 

 Kothwell had a large collection of cut 

 orchids. Harvard Botanic Gardens re- 

 ceived a cultural certificate for Cereus
