The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



At-ausT 24, l&ll. 



was some well flowered pans of Calluna 

 vulgaris, or Scotch heather. 



The annual show of products of chil- 

 dren's gardens comes September 2 and 

 3, and the general autumn exhibition 

 of dahlias, fruits, etc., September 8, 

 9 and 10, while the big vegetable show, 

 to be held in conjunction with the con- 

 - vention of the American Vegetable 

 Growers' Association, with several 

 thousand dollars in prizes, opens Sep- 

 tember 21. This latter show will far 

 excel anything of the kind formerly 

 seen in Boston. 



Various Notes. 



Most of the Boston visitors to the S. 

 A. F. convention returned home Au- 

 gust 19. All had a pleasant time, their 

 only regret being the failure to elect 

 their excellent candidate for president. 



Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab- 

 ington, have their carnations all 

 housed. A ^ew house, just completed, 

 will give them more growing space. 

 The plants are as large as usual. 



Several local members of the trade 

 who are in Europe are being held up 

 by the extended strike prevailing in 

 England. Thomas , Pegler is one of 

 them. 



Charles Leach, of J. Leach & Sons, 

 North Easton, is recovering from a 

 severe attack of Bright 's disease. The 

 illness cpme on at an inopportune time, 

 when carnation housing was under 

 way. The new Pink Supreme, one of 

 the Leach seedlings, is looking fine. 



S. J. Goddard enjoyed his Baltimore 

 trip immenjjely. He is sending in some 

 fine asters to the market, and small 

 lots of new crop carnations. 



J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, is ship- 

 ping quantities of fine long-stemmed 

 asters to the Boston Cooperative 

 Market. His carnations are all housed 

 and they look first-class. 



A special electric car will leave 

 Scollay square, opposite the « Quincy 

 house, at 12:30 Saturday, AngHst 26, 

 with members and friends of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club bound 

 for B. Hammond Tracy's gladiolus farm 

 at Wenham, where a field day will be 

 held. A large attendance is already 

 assured. 



W. F. Eaton, of Haverhill, is just 

 starting on his new season's crop of 

 Killarney and White Killarnev, which 

 he knows well how to grow. These are 

 handled by William H. Carr at the 

 Boston Flower Exchange. 



John W. Foote, of Maiden, is already 

 cutting excellent Beacon carnations. 

 Bouvardia Humboldtii still comes from 

 him. He grows it better, probably, 

 than any one else in the country. 



J. Newman & Sons had a jdeasing 

 d window August 19 of Rose Golden 

 I Gate, with large vases^of Gladiolus 

 ■ America and ferns as a Rackground. 



William S. Phelps, of Marlboro, loves 

 to produce gilt-edged stock. He grows 

 asters of magnificent quaUty under 

 glass. These he disbuds a?k<l...:^rows 

 like mums, selling them in bunches of 

 one dozen. The flowers are equal in 

 size to the average mum, with stems of 

 remarkable length. Mr. Phelps is just 

 starting to cut these. His carnations 

 are all benched and looking well. 



John K. Alexander, of East Bridge- 

 water, the dahlia specialist, gave a 

 first-class clam bake to 100 of his 

 friends at Bobbins grove August 18, 

 which every one heartily enjoyed. 



A. R. Hutson, chief salesman for W. 

 H. Elliott, has been enjoving a well 

 earned vacation on Cape Cod. 



W. J. Collins, representing Joseph 

 Breck & Sons, was at last report doing 

 the German seed-growing districts and 

 having an enjoyable time. 



Over 200 members of the New png- 

 land Association of Market Gardeners 

 had their annual outing at the Lynn- 

 way Club, Point of Pines, August 19. 

 The games included bowling and pool 

 tournaments; also baseball, married vs. 

 single, the latter winning by a score 

 of 8 to 4. President H. F. Hall ad- 

 dressed the members during the after- 

 noon. 



John Barr's fine new carnation house 

 is completed and planted. In spite of 

 the dry summer, his plants are quite 

 up to the average in size.
