The Market 



Outside of funeral orders, which have 

 called for a good many flowers, little 

 has occurred during the last week to 

 break the ripple of summer dullness. 

 The best roses are still Beauty and 

 Kaiserin. White roses have been rather 

 scarce. So far, White Killarney as a 

 summer bloomer is not a great success. 

 The flowers are too single and show con- 

 siderable pink. My Maryland is well 

 liked and is evidently going to displace 

 Killarney to a large extent as a summer 

 variety. Many flowers seen are short- 

 stemmed and mildewed. Good flowers 

 bring fair prices. 



A few carnations of the new crop are 

 appearing. The remnants of the old 

 crop still linger, but are worth little. 

 Asters are abundant and of splendid 

 quality. Prices vary greatly, some bring- 

 ing $1 per 100, others a fourth that 

 price. 



Gladioli are fine, but far too numerous. 

 Sweet peas since the recent rains have 

 improved and are now quite abundant. 

 Good callas are still seen. Lilies are 

 quite plentiful ; longiflorum and speci- 

 osum album sell the best. Tuberoses are 

 not in much demand, and neither are 

 cosmos. 



The demand for lily of the valley is 

 moderate. Golden Glow chrysanthemums 

 of excellent quality are coming from 

 several growers. Prices on green stock 

 remain about the same. 



Exhibition. 



The main exhibition hall was com- 

 pletely filled August 21 and 22, on the 

 occasion of the second weekly show held 

 in August. It would almost seem as if 

 the withholding of many prizes improved 

 the summer shows, for exhibits are much 

 more extensive than in former years.

the largest exhibitors. Their sloping 

 bank of herbaceous perennials, covering 

 500 square feet, was a whole show in 

 itself. Included were large bunches of 

 many liliums, including Henryi, myri- 

 ophyllum, longiflorum, Batmannise, tigri- 

 num, etc. The same firm showed a large 

 table of hybrid tea roses. 



W. W. Eawson & Co. had a fine collec- 

 tion of dahlias and choice gladioli. 



B. Hammond Tracy had an unusually 

 extensive and well arranged display of 

 gladioli, one or two beds planted on the 

 floor being quite effective. 



T. C. Thurlow & Sons had a large col- 

 lection of perennial phlox, as had F. J. 

 Rea. Old Town Nurseries and Bellevue 

 Nurseries each had fine collections of 

 herbaceous plants. 



W. Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener, 

 had two tables of asters, one of peren- 

 nial phlox, as well as fine displays of 

 Lilium tigrinum and a general collection 

 of annuals and perennials. 



Mrs. J. L. Gardner, William Thatcher 

 gardener, showed annuals in great va- 

 riety. Mrs. E, W. Gill had excellent 

 dahlias, as well as a general assortment 

 of greenhouse and outdoor flowers. 



C. W. Parker had a collection of roses 

 and Mrs. Alvin Fuller fine HohenzoUem 

 asters. There were the usual fine dis- 

 plays of fruits, vegetables and fungi. 



Special awards were: B. Hammond 

 Tracy, silver medal for collection of

Various Notea. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will 

 hold its next field-day with the Bay State 

 Nurseries, North Abington, September 11. 

 Regular club meetings will resume Sep- 

 tember 21. The speaker of the evening 

 will be J. W. Duncan, whose subject will 

 be ' ' Some Facts About the West. ' ' 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Market 

 anticipates an excellent auction sale of 

 stalls at the market in Music Hall place 

 August 28. 



Thomas Roland states that in spite of 

 the dry summer he has never had his oat- 

 door stock in finer condition, all plants 

 making a fine, sturdy growth. 



The decision of the S. A. F. to hold a 

 national spring show in Boston in 1911 

 meets with general favor locally. There
