BBOCKTON, MASS. 



At the Fair. 



In the floral department at the cele- 

 brated Brockton fair there was good 

 compotition for a vase of fifty roses. 

 H. M. Bobinson & Co., of Boston, led 

 with some grand American Beauties; 

 Waban Bose Conservatories were sec- 

 ond with a splendid vase of the beauti- 

 ful new Mrs. Moorfield Storey; H. M. 

 Bobinson & Co. took third with Sun- 

 burst. 



Some of the leading prize-winners on 

 dahlias, which never were better shown, 

 were J. K. Alexander, of East Bridge- 

 water, who was invincible in pompons, 

 as usual; W. A. Hathaway, of New Bed- 

 ford; Wm. H. Symonds, of Marblehead, 

 and Sisson & Thurston, of Newport, 

 E. I. Gladioli were more largely and 

 better shown than ever before; so were 

 wild flowers. 



The hall at the Commercial Club was 

 used for the dinner given October 2 to 

 the governor, his staff and other promi- 

 nent guests of the fair. The decora- 

 tions were tastefully carried out by 

 W. W. Hathaway, the Main street flo- 

 rist. Palms, ferns and baskets of pink 

 roses were used, the latter on the four- 

 teen tables. 



Various Notes. 



Trade, on the whole, in Brockton has 

 been better than for the last several 

 years, reports W. W. Hathaway. While 

 the aster tide has passed, gladioli still 

 are good,^and roses, carnations, mums 

 and other indoor flowers are all going 

 well. W. N. C. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



Trade continues fair, but really live 

 business cannot be expected until the 

 frosts set in. Thanksgiving orders came 

 in freely and used up all available 

 stock. Prices are on a little lower level 

 than last year. 



The members of the Old Country- 

 men's Club, most of whom are engaged 

 in florists' work here, held their annual 

 general meeting October 8. The club is 

 in a flourishing condition and carries 

 forward a credit balance of $108.70 for 

 the following season. The following 

 oflicers were appointed: Patron, T. W. 

 Duggan; president, W. G. Peacock; vice- 

 president, H". Peacock; secretary, A. J. 

 Stewart. 



This week's obituary column con- 

 tains a report of the death of W. W. 

 Mclntyre, son of W. T. Mclntyre; also 

 the death of Wesley Coates, a carnation 

 grower at the Dale Estate. W. G. P.
