The Market 



Such improvement as there is in the 

 market is slight. With continued warm 

 weather and an abundance of outdoor 

 flowers, better conditions are out of the 

 question. An early frost is. about due 

 and fervent prayers are heard that it 

 may come soon. Asters continue abun- 

 dant, but less so than a week ago. We 

 never remember to have seen so many 

 of them, nor of finer quality than this 

 season. Gladioli and sweet peas are each 

 growing less. Of indoor flowers, roses 

 are more than enough for all needs and 

 do not advance in price. Carnations are 

 more plentiful daily, but sell rather 

 ■lowly. Violets are seen in good num- 

 bers, mostly singles. Of lilies there is 

 a small but steady supply, ample for all 

 needs. Lily of the valley remains much 

 the same. There is no change in prices 

 of asparagus, adiantum and smilax. 



Quite a few Cattleya labiata are now' 

 seen at the better stores. 



Various Notes. 



Much sympathy is being expressed for 

 Mrs. E. M. Gill, the well known Medford 

 florist, who lost her daughter. Miss E. F. 

 Gill, September 21. Miss Gill had for a 

 number of years be^ a teacher in the 

 Medford schools. • ■ ' ^ ' 



The Brockton fair is the great attrac- 

 tion for many of the craft this week. 

 The gates opened September 29 and an 

 attendance approximating 200,000 is 

 looked for on the four days during which 

 it will be open. Dahlias make a big 

 showing. 



P. W. Fletcher Co. has leased for five 

 years the Seaverus Lane greenhouses, just 

 across the Charles river in Weston. After 

 a thorough overhauling, the houses will 

 be filled with the firm's specialty, mar- 

 guerites. -

The present month has been a busy 

 one with the growing body of New Eng- 

 land dahlia specialists. The numerous 

 fairs are incomplete without their com- 

 plement of the popular fall flowpr and 

 all make good advertising for the ex- 

 hibitors. 



A complimentary banquet was tendered 

 Lawrence Cotter September 26 at the

 Dorchester to assume the superintendency 

 of the Lake View Rose Gardens, James-
