and a general assortment 



of all varieties of seasonable stock.

There were only ten cloudy days and 

 even these gave a few hours of sun- 

 shine. There were 125 hours more sun- 

 shine than last year and fifty hours more 

 than the average. The rainfall was un- 

 usually light. 



Berries on the loniceras are attractive 

 at present in the Boston park system. 

 The fruit has ripened about three weeks 

 earlier than usual. 



Many sweet pea lovers are taking ad- 

 vantage of the invitation of W. W. 

 Bawson & Co. to visit their sweet pea 

 trial grounds, at Marblehead. The col- 

 lection includes all the best novelties. 



There promises to be an unusually at- 

 tractive prize list for sports at the com- 

 ing picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club in Pine Banks Park, Maiden, 

 July 29. 



The Lars Anderson gardens, in Brook- 

 line, are now open to the public each 

 Thursday afternoon and Duncan Fin- 

 layson is kept well employed answering 

 queries from the crowds who attend. 



The great and glorious Fourth gave 

 us a smaller lot of casualties than usual. 

 A good shower the previous night les- 

 sened danger from fire. It was a humid 

 and uncomfortable feeling day climatic- 

 ally. W. N. Cbaig. 



William R. Finlay and Miss Alice M. 

 Moring were married at the home of 

 Mr. Finlay, 10 Auckland street, Dor- 

 chester, July 1. The wedding and re- 

 ception were attended by a large gather- 

 ing of relatives and friends of the bride 

 and groom, and many costly and useful 

 presents were tendered. The bridal 

 party left on a late train for New York, 

 amid many good wishes from their 

 friends. From New York they will visit 

 Chicago, after which they will spend a 

 short time in Winthrop, Me. They will 

 be at home after September 1, in Stough- 

 ton, where the groom has purchased a 

 home and farm. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



There is not much doing here in the 

 good old summer time, except funeral 

 work, which is heavy here at all times. 

 Carnations are beginning to get scarcer 

 and scarcer and also smaller. Roses are 

 not much better in quality. Sweet peas 

 are now arriving in immense quantities. 



The bedding out season is about over. 

 Everyone reports a good demand for 

 geraniums, salvias, etc. Nearly all are 

 cleaned out. 



H. A. Jahn has begun to cut asters in- 

 doors. A good strain of candytuft was 

 seen at his place. 



William P. Peirce is receiving some 

 nice Fair Maid carnations. W. L. 



WASHINGTON. 



Doings at the Capital. 



Everything is quiet along the Potomac, 

 not much of anything doing. 



The decorations at the Municipal build- 

 ing July 4 were a g^and success. The 

 work was done by George Cooke, F. H.
