The Market 



Business remains extremely quiet and 

 a good many flowers coming in cannot be 

 sold. The glut of asters and gladioli 

 is about the worst ever seen in this 

 market. These two flowers seem to have 

 done remarkably well under the droughty 

 conditions prevailing this summer. Gla- 

 dioli are not selling well and many are 

 wasted. Sweet pShp are getting small in 

 quantity and deficient in quality. Koses 

 of good quality continue to meet with 

 a fair sale, but there is little call for the 

 many small, inferior flowers arriving. 

 Carnations are almost out of the run- 

 ning; few are coming in and these are 

 of inferior quality. 



The supply of lilies is overabundant, 

 and speciosums and auratums are not 

 selling at all well. Some good callas 

 are still seen. A few Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums are appearing. These 

 are too early, there being a super- 

 abundance of fine asters to compete with 

 them. Cosmos is plentiful; some days 

 it sells well, and on others nothing will 

 move it. Dahlias are getting common 

 and sell a little better than two or three 

 years ago. 



A Trip to Whittiet's. 



A good delegation of members of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston 

 journeyed to South Framingham, August 

 14, per Boston and Worcester electric 

 cars, to see the nurseries of W. B. Whit- 

 tier & Co.; but for many members being 

 away on vacations, the attendance would 

 have been much larger. The party on 

 arrival was met by Mr. Whittier, and an 

 inspection of the extensive and well kept 

 nurseries, which cover an area of 175 

 acres, was made. The stock of ever- 

 green and deciduous trees and shrubs, 

 climbers and hardy perennials was in 

 superb condition. Frequent cultivation 

 had kept the ground clean of weeds and 

 the plants showed but little effects of 

 the severe and long continued drought. 



After several hours had been spent in- 

 specting the nurseries, the party returned 

 to Boston, well pleased with the day 's 

 instructive outing. Refreshments were 

 served during the afternoon and several 

 short but felicitous addresses were made 

 by the visitors and host.
