A Modern Sacrifice 



To induce you to buy Cut Flower and 

 Design Boxes we made the prices cheap enough 

 (the Flower Boxes are as good as ever) so that 

 you wouldn't mind putting in a stock of 500 

 or more in assorted sizes at these 

 prices, which are much less now 

 than later in the fall when the busy 

 season opens up. We want to over- 

 come the summer dullness and 

 these prices ought to do it.

and have sold at unheard-of prices. The 

 call for these has been slow. 



Sweet peas from outdoors are now 

 abundant and quite good; even these 

 have been in the dumps. For valley there 

 was an irregular call. Cattleyas are now 

 scarce, Mossiees being over. Gardenias 

 are also nearing the end. For miscella- 

 neous flowers the call has been slight. 

 Prospects for business for the next two 

 months are not brilliant and the mar- 

 kets will now lapse to midsummer dull- 

 ness. The pulling out of rose and car- 

 nation crops, preparatory to replanting, 

 will somewhat relieve the congestion in 

 these two staples. 



Rose and Strawberry Show. 



It is doubtful if hotter weather ever 

 was experienced for the annual rose and 

 strawberry show, held June 26 and 27 at 

 Horticultural hall. A solid week of 90 

 to 95 degrees in the shade was alto- 

 gether too much for hardy roses, and 

 while these have been unusually fine this 

 season, the broiling heat reduced the ex- 

 hibits materially. Nevertheless there was 

 a large and interesting show, filling the 

 main hall, side hall and loggia. 



M. H. Walsh was, as usual, the largest 

 and most successful exhibitor of roses. 

 Others who contributed large numbers 

 were: W. J. Clemson, J. 0. Christensen 

 gardener; W. A. Kiggs; George R. 

 "White, F. Galvin gardener; A. F. Esta- 

 brook, George Barker gardener; J. G. 

 Wright, M. Gorman gardener; E. G. 

 Lincoln; Mrs. E. M. Gill; Charles W. 

 Parker; Robert Seavee; E. L. Lewis and 

 Jackson Dawson. 



The last named exhibitor secured a sil- 

 ver medal for a pretty new single rose, 

 named Professor Sargent, secured by 

 crossing Wichuraiana with Crimson 

 Rambler and the resultant cross with a 

 pink hybrid perpetual. The flowers were 

 of a pleasing pink color. 



Frau Karl Druschki showed up splen- 

 didly in all collections and seemed to 

 be the most popular hardy rose in the 

 show. Peonies were largely shown by 



E. J. Shaylor, R. & J. Farquhar & Co., 

 T. C. Thurlow, George Mollis and other 

 specialists. There was a grand show of 

 hardy perennials. Farquhar & Co. had 

 the largest and most impressive display 

 in competition for the gold medal, 

 massed for effect among rocks and suit- 

 able greenery. Bellevue Nurseries had 

 a table tastefully arranged. Oak Town 

 Nurseries also had a fine collection, also 

 Walter Hunnewell, T, D. Hatfield gar- 

 dener, W. A. Manda and others. Mar- 

 tin SulHvan had an extensive display of 

 sweet Williams and Canterbury bells. 

 W. A. Riggs also had a fine display of 

 hardy herbaceous plants. Mrs. Fred- 

 erick Ayer, George Page gardener, had 

 two long tables of sweet williams and 

 Canterbury bells, 250 vases in all. 



Charles Sander, gardener to Prof. C. 

 S. Sargent, received a silver medal for 

 a new pink rhododendron, a pleasing 

 shade of color, the result of a cross be- 

 tween maximum and an Italian hybrid. 



F. J. Rea had herbaceous plants and 

 nymphffias. W. W. Rawson & Co. had 

 a big collection of the newer sweet peas, 

 awarded a first-class certificate, also 

 Spanish iris and Lilium Martagon. A 



few specially good sweet peas noted 

 were: Apple Blossom Spencer, Miss 

 Evelyn Hemus, Gladys Deal, Kitty Clive, 

 Mina Johnstone, Paradise, Mrs. H. C. 

 Philbrick and Hester. 



Bellevue Nurseries received a bronze 

 medal for their artistic display of her- 

 baceous perennials. W. G. Postings had 

 a display of Delphinium Belladonna of a 

 branching habit, awarded a first-class 

 certificate, also a selection of Sutton's 

 Pink Beauty sweet william. 



Strawberries were unusually well 

 shown. Golden Gate proved to be the 

 champion variety. This promises to be 

 the most widely grown strawberry in 

 New England when better known. Mar- 

 shall was largely shown and in color and 

 flower still holds a high position. Barry- 

 more and The Hub, among the new candi- 

 dates, seemed to be the most desirable. 



Various Notes. 



An exact reproduction in miniature of 

 the house and grounds of President W. 

 H. Taft's summer residence at Beverly, 

 Mass., filling one of T. F. Galvin 's big 

 show windows on Tremout street, has at- 

 tracted large crowds of spectators dur- 

 ing the last few days. W. W. Rawson & 

 Co. were responsible for the work, which 

 was finely carried out under the super- 

 vision of Maurice Fuld. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club's 

 j)icnic will be held at Randolph grove, 

 July 28. It would be difficult to find a 

 more ideal spot for the annual outing, 

 the grove being comparatively easy of 

 access, yet insuring privacy. There is 

 a large lake, ample open spaces for 

 sports, suitable buildings for refresh- 

 ments and about every convenience re- 

 quired. Randolph grove was the scene 

 of the picnic a few years ago. 



John K. M. L. Farquhar, who starts 

 on his European tour next week, will go 

 by the Scandinavian line to Copenhagen. 

 His itinerary will include Denmark, Hol- 

 land, Germany, Sweden, Norway, France, 

 Great Britain and southern Spain, re- 

 turning from the latter country via 

 Azores and reaching New York about 

 the end of September. 



W. W. Rawson & Co. will be large ex«
