BLACK HALL, CONN. 



The new, and first, passenger and 

 vehicle bridge spanning the Connecti- 

 cut river between the towns of Old 

 Lyme and Old Saybrook was opened 

 to public use Thursday, August 24. 

 Twelve thousand people watched the 

 parade during the celebration and 550 

 automobiles, decorated with flowers, 

 made a grand spectacle. 



Thomas L. Brown, superintendent 

 of products for the great Connecticut 

 fair at Hartford, reports large entries 

 in his department. 



Harry Griswold, who has spent some 

 years in New York city, is to go info 

 lettuce growing at Old Lyme. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade was rather dull last week. 

 Asters are coming in freely now; these 

 are the late varieties and they retail at 

 35 cents per dozen. Boses are good; 

 they sell at $1 and $1.50 per dozen, re- 

 tail. Camatione are not yet plentiful; 

 they retail at 35 cents per dozen. 

 Some nice gladioli retail at $1.50 and 

 $2 per dozen. Sweet peas sell at 50 

 cents per hundred blogms. Candytuft 

 and alyssum help out in funeral work. 

 Funeral work is good. 



At last we have had some good rains, 

 and as a result everything seems 

 freshened up. About all the growers 

 have housed their carnation plants. 



Various Notes. 



S. S. Peckham is cutting some nice 

 snapdragons. 



Early closing is still the rule. 



George N. Borden, of R. H. Wood- 

 house's force, is spending two weeks 

 at Jolly Island, N. H. W. L. 



New Haven, Conn. — The Doolittle

Westerly, E. I. — Conrad Schultz re- 

 ports increasing business at the sum- 

 mer resort of Watch Hill. He ships 

 quantities of stock at wholesale. Lilies 

 and carnations are leaders. His carna- 

 tions in the field did remarkably well 

 and are in big demand, owing to the 

 dry summer.
