The Market. 



We are in the midst of the dull sea- 

 son, broken only by an occasional 

 funeral. The local cut flower crop is 

 now limited to some good outdoor roses 

 and tuberoses, the latter especially 

 being first-class and cut by some grow- 

 ers in abundance. The rainy season 

 has somewhat abated and at present 

 the weather is ideal for all kinds of 

 plants. 



On account of the exceptionally large 

 demand for poinsettias last Christmas, 

 this splendid seller is grown this year 

 by several florists in large quantities, 

 and the plants seen at present look 

 strong and healthy. These plants grow 

 here quite easily and are vigorous, and 

 it is to be expected that in the future 

 some large grower will make a spe- 

 cialty of them for shipping purposes. 

 The heavy frost last January killed 

 hundreds of them planted in the open 

 ground all over the city, and the de- 

 mand this season will be heavy. 



The growing on of winter flowering 

 plants is limited here on account of 

 our climatical conditions and most of 

 them are either imported or shipped 

 from northern markets. This city, with 

 its natural advantages, is surely the 

 place to grow tropical and semi-tropical 

 foliage plants, ferns and orchids. Al- 

 though only the last named are at pres- 

 ent imported and grown for wholesale 

 purposes, some enterprising florist will 

 one day take the advantage and estab- 

 lish a wholesale business for all kinds of 

 stock profitably grown here. 



Various Notes. 



Many of the local florists took ad- 

 vantage of the dull season and went on 

 their yearly summer trips and no doubt

Foxboro, Mass. — F. H. Baldwin has 

 erected two greenhonses, each 25x150, 

 on Baker street property, and will plant 

 them with chrysanthemums, to be fol- 

 lowed by a crop of violets. The houses 

 are some distance from the street, with 

 which they run parallel, and a glass- 

 covered house extends from them to' a 

 new, two-story oflBce building in front. 

 Next season the three Baldwin houses 

 on Main street will be removed to 

 Baker street, so as to have all the 

 houses in one compact range.
