While there have been some light frosts, 

 many gardens continue gay with dahl- 

 ias, asters, salvias and many other out- 

 door flowers. These conditions are not 

 conducive to activity in the cut flower 

 trade. Roses are doing better than 

 other flowers and clean up well at from 

 $4 per hundred upwards. The greatest 

 call is for Columbia, Premier and 

 Ophelia. Reds are not abundant. Some 

 growers have cut them out as unprofit- 

 able and others have reduced their 

 plantings considerably. 



Carnations are advancing a little and 

 are of better quality, but their keeping 

 properties are poor while the weather 

 remains so warm. A few fancies bring 

 $4 per hundred, but the bulk sells at 

 half price. Such violets as come in arc 

 mainly single and the flowers are as yet 

 rather small. Chrysanthemums are in 



larger supply and move somewhat more 

 sluggishly. Outside of October Frost 

 and Golden (Jlow, there is not much 

 variety yet. 



Lilium lougiflorum keej)s up in price, 

 although there is no great call for it. 

 White bouvardia is good at .$1 to $2 per 

 bunch. This is valued for bridal bou- 

 quets. Dahlias are still seen in good 

 numbers and gladioli have not given up 

 the ghost by any means. Asters are 

 also quite numerous, although they sell 

 poorly. 



There are ample supplies of cattleyas 

 and a fair lot of cypripediums. Valley 

 is ample for all needs and some nice gar- 

 denias come in. Nerines are seen at a 

 few high-class stores, as well as spikes 

 of pancratiums. Miscellaneous outdoor 

 flowers still come in, but calls for them 

 are quite erratic. 



Chrysanthemum plants are now plenti- 

 ful and good, the yellow pompon, Bon 

 Ton, l)eing a leader. Cyclamens, bego- 

 nias and ericas are also seen. Calls for 

 ferns, crotons and other decorative 

 plants are good. Berried solanums are 

 seen at nearly all the stores. These are 

 heavily fruited and have ripened un- 

 usually early this season. 



Various Notes. 



The Boston Flower Exchange will 

 hold its annual business meeting and 

 dinner October 22. With an addition of 

 twenty-nine new stockholders, the out- 

 look for the future is good. 



The many friends of Robert Cameron, 

 superintendent of Castle Hill Farm, Ips- 

 wich, who is well known in the trade, are 

 congratulating him on his election as 

 president of the National Association of
