son's pure culture mushroom spawn, 

 their crops being heavy. 



J. T. Butterworth, among other Christ- 

 mas specialties, has a splendid lot of 

 valley in pots, also good batches of 

 Dutch bulbous stock. Of cattleyas and 

 cypripediums he has a heavy crop. 



S. J. Eeuter, of Westerly, E. I., is the 

 latest new stall-holder at the Music Hall 

 market. 



A. Roper's new variegated carnation, 

 Bay State, is showing up well at present 

 and realizing fancy Christmas prices. 

 Mr. Boper also has several other fine 

 seedlings. 



Mann Bros., Peirce Bros, and one or 

 two other growers are sending in nice 

 lots of Lilium speciosum at present. 



Carnation Winona with Peter Fisher 

 is proving a first-class sort. Of the 

 same shade as Winsor, it produces much 

 longer stems than that variety and prom- 

 ises to largely displace it.
