vaae of White Killarney shown by Waban 

 Conservatories through their agent, W. 

 W. Hathaway, secured a first-class cer- 

 tificate. Tarquhar & Co. had a big and 

 unique dahlia display. Some of the lead- 

 ing dahlia prize winners were: J. K. 

 Alexander, Mrs. H. A. Jahn, W. D. Hath- 

 away, F. L. Tinkham, George H. Walker 

 and many others. There were no less 

 than sixteen entries for display of cactus 

 varieties and nearly as many in the 

 other dahlia classes. 



The mean temperature for September 

 in Boston was 66 degrees, against an 

 average for thirty years of 63 degrees. 

 The rainfall was only .68 of an inch; a 

 year ago we had 7.63. inches. There 

 were thirteen clear days, ten cloudy and 

 seven partly cloudy. 



Farquhar & Co. report bulb trade as 

 ahead of last year. They bought heavily, 

 but orders coming in promise to soon ex- 

 haust the stock. The late killing frost 

 has stimulated buying. 



Galvin's window displays of dahlias 

 from W. W. Rawson & Co. have been 

 attractive and instructive for some time 

 past. 



F. J. Dolansky is marketing some fine 



■Monrovia chrysanthemums. He also has 



a good line of ficus and other foliage 



plants, in charge of Thomas Pegler, at 



the Park Street market. 



There will be no contest now over 

 the will of the late W. W. Rawson. The 

 prospective fight of grandchildren has 

 been dropped, Herbert W. Rawson being 

 appointed trustee of their estate. 



Recent visitors include J. R. Fother- 

 ingham, representing F. R. Pierson Co., 

 and Louis Dupuy, Whitestone, L. L 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. report a 

 decided improvement in business. They 

 are receiving some splendid southern smi- 

 lax, and the cut flower department is 

 picking up nicely. 



Thomas Roland, of Nahant, will, 

 among other stock, have a magnificent 

 lot of cyclamens right for Christmas. 



H. A. Jahn reports the Lloyd carnation 

 as doing splendidly with him. It looks 

 promising on several other places where 

 recently seen. W. N. Cbaiq. 



VERBENAS AS MARKET PLANTS. 



It is remarkable how well Verbena Miss 

 Willmott has been received by the flo- 

 rists and decorators, says a writer in the 

 Horticultural Advertiser (English). We 

 hear of improved varieties, such as Kew 

 ,Pink, The King, etc., but in the market 

 they all sold as ' ' Willmotts. ' ' Most grow- 



ers are careful in selecting stock, and 

 some have a decided improvement, yet I 

 have noted some of a pale shade of color. 

 Here we again see the advantage of care- 

 ful selection. Culture also makes a great 

 difference. Verbenas must have all the 

 light possible, also plenty of top air, but 

 they do not like a cold draught passing 

 between them. They do best on a cool, 

 moist bottom, with light and a little 

 warmth above. For early flowering sev- 

 eral plants may be grown together in 

 each pot, and these come into flower much 

 sooner than those which have to be 

 stopped several times to get good, bushy 

 plants. Manure water may be used freely. 

 Some growers have tried various other 

 sorts, and they may sell well for home 

 nursery trade, but they are of little use 

 for market. Scarlet King sold fairly 

 well last season, also Purple King and a 

 white variety, but for the mixed colors 

 there is practically no demand. 



Abgenta, Aek. — At the Vestal green- 

 houses here a new brick stack has been 

 erected, sixty-five feet high and three 

 feet inside diameter. 



Fort Dodge, Ta. — The North Floral 

 Co. has made official announcement of 

 its incorporation, with authorized capi- 

 tal stock of $10,000, of which .$3,000 

 has been paid in cash, the balance to be 

 issued as the needs of the business de- 

 mand. The corporation is to continue for 

 twenty years, unless sooner dissolved by 

 a two-thirds vote of the stockholders. 

 The limit of indebtedness is two-thirds 

 of the capital stock, the private prop- 

 erty of stockholders being exempt from 

 corporation debts. The president is Otto 

 Hansen, Elmer E. Nordwall being sec- 

 retary and treasurer.
