 were: Marshall, Donaldson, Schreiner,

 shall as captain, and Messrs. Berry, 

 Traendly and O'Mara in reserve, should 

 sudden illness or absence prevent any 

 of the regulars participating. Follow-

The Market 



Outdoor flowers, of which gladioli and 

 asters are in heavy supply, are domi- 

 nating features in the market at pres- 

 ent. There are few carnations, these lat- 

 ter being of poor quality. A good sup- 

 ply of roses is still forthcoming, the 

 small blooms being hard to dispose of. 

 Lilium speciosum album is in good sup- 

 ply, and proves popular for funeral 

 work. The colored forms are also meet- 

 ing with a fair call. Lilium longiflorum 

 is of good quality for the season and 

 L. auratum comes from one or two grow- 

 ers. A few tuberoses are seen, but these 

 are not in favor now. Sweet peas are 

 of poor quality and evidently nearing the 

 end. For asparagus and adiantum there 

 is a fairly steady demand. Quiet condi- 

 tions will probably prevail for some 

 weeks, but the glut period is over and a 



slow but steady improvement is likely 

 from now onwards. 



The Exhibition. 



Although there were only ten classes 

 for cut flowers on August 8, at Horti- 

 cultural hall, the main hall was well filled 

 with many interesting exhibits. Owing 

 to the early season, the perennial phloxes 

 were hardly up to the average. For 

 twelve named varieties first prize went to 

 William Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener; 

 George Hollis, second; T. C. Thurlow & 

 Co., third; Bellevue Greenhouses, fourth. 

 There was a fine display of annuals. For 

 display of not less than thirty species, 

 filling not less than 100 bottles, the win- 

 ners were William Whitman, Mrs. J. L. 

 Gardner and Mrs. E. M. Gill. 



There were a number of miscellaneous 

 displays, including fine collections of her- 

 baceous plants, from Bellevue Green- 

 houses, F. J. Rea, Blue Hill Nurseries 

 and R. & J. Farquhar & Co. Th© latter 

 firm had a large collection of dahlias, 

 receiving honorable mention for Charles 

 Lanier and Queen Wilhelmina. They also 

 had a splendid display of Lilium aura- 

 tum. 



B. Hammond Tracy received honor- 

 able mention for seedling gladioli and 

 F. J. Rea a similar award for Delphinium 

 hybridum Persimmon. Blue Hill Nurs- 

 eries had a large collection of phloxes 

 and William Whitman and Mrs. A. W. 

 Blake, J. L. Smith gardener, general 

 displays.
