Auctions of Market Stalls. 



The annual auction sale of stalls of 

 the Boston Cooperative Flower Growers' 

 Association took place at Park Street 

 market August 29. J. F. Carroll, as 

 usual, oflSciated as auctioneer and there 

 was a large attendance of growers, bid- 

 ding Being unusually spirited. 

 " First choice fell to Waban Conserva- 

 tories for $110; John J. Fee gave $85 

 Budlong & Son, $80; Peirce Bros., $80 

 William Nicholson, Mann Bros, and An 

 drew Christensen, $75 each ; Peirce Bros., 



a second stand at $72.50; E. Sutermeis- 

 ter, $72.50; S. J. Goddard, Thomas Peg- 

 ler and Montrose Greenhouses, $67.50

 liott, Edgar & Co., W. C. Stickel, J. F. 

 Calder, F. J. Dolansky and several others 

 from $62.50 to $65 each. A total of 

 ninety-five stalls were sold for a gross 

 premium of about $4,500, making it the 

 most satisfactory auction the market has 

 yet held. The premiums are in addition 

 to the regular rentals, which are $25 per 

 stall. 



The members of the Boston Coopera- 

 tive Flower Market held their annual 

 auction sale of stalls August 29 at Music 

 Hall market. There was, as usual, a 

 large and animated attendance of buyers. 



Bidding was brisk and about 100 stalls 

 were disposed of, the sale being' consid- 

 ered an eminently satisfactory one by 

 the management. 



Various Notes. 



Peirce Bros, handled some nice Golden 

 Glow chrysanthemums last week. S. J. 

 Goddard had the distinction of bringing 

 in the first mums of the season, the va- 

 riety also being Golden Glow. 



Minimum temperatures of 38 to 40 de- 

 grees were recorded in and around Bos- 

 ton August 27, but we have heard of no 

 damage being done by the cold as yet. 



Remember the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club field day at the New-England

 England Nurseries. The running time to 

 Bedford via trolley is about one and one- 

 fourth hours. 



H. H. Barrows & Son, of Whitman,

 with splendid stocks of nephrolepis. In 

 addition to Whitmani, Bostoniensis and 

 Barrowsii, their new sports are promising 

 and likely to be seen at the fall shows. 



H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, is as 

 usual bringing in some of the finest as- 

 ters seen in the Boston market. 



Vacation experiences will be the topic 

 at the opening meeting of the Gardeners ' 

 and Florists' Club September 15.
