SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON 



has made good and we have had high 

 praise for it. Having perfected this 

 strain TEUE FBOM SEED 



I can now distribute it to any part of 

 the Globe. Figuring increased expense 

 to get perfect seed, principally #n ac- 

 count of drought, I am forced tQ make 

 a uniform price of $1.00 per packet of 

 over 500 seeds; 3 packets $2.50; % 

 packet 60c. This is new crop seed, ab- 

 solutely pure and true, grown upon our 

 premises under my personal supervision, 

 and is backed by my reputation and 

 guarantee. 



STRONGEB AND BETTER PLANTS 

 can be had from seed and you are sure 

 of a stock at one-fourth cost of cuttings.

The Market. 



Business continues quiet in the mar- 

 ket. Asters easily overtop all other 

 flowers in importance. The flowers of 

 the early varieties are now getting 

 smaller, but are overabundant. The 

 late kinds are not in good crop, yet 

 some of the ostrich plume section are 

 remarkably fine. The best command 

 $1.50 per hundred, while some small 

 flowers can scarcely be moved at this 

 price per thousand. Gladioli from out- 

 doors are now plentiful and are hard 

 to move. Augusta, America and Mrs. 

 King continue the favorites. Sweet 

 peas have been coming longer stemmed, 

 but the frequent rains and humid 

 weather make them weather-marked. 



In roses Kaiserins are in strong de- 

 mand, and for the season are fine in 

 quality. Tafts, Wards, Beauties and 

 Christy Millers are other favorites. 

 There is a heavy overplus of short 

 stemmed stock. Two thousand flow- 

 ers for $1, sold August 17, did not 

 leave much profit for the grower. 



Carnations are few and poor in qual- 

 ity. Valley sells tolerably well. Cos- 

 mos is more abundant and in fair de- 

 mand. Miscellaneous annuals and per- 

 ennials are little called for. Cattleyas 

 are practically nil. It took a lot of 

 scurrying around for a leading retailer 

 to secure a dozen blooms August 17. 

 Asparagus and adiantum are plentiful, 

 but the call for these is slim. 



Various Notes. 



The Boston delegation to the S. A. F. 

 convention left the South Station at 

 2 p. m., August 18. They comfortably 

 filled a special car. A good number of 

 friends gave them a hearty send-off. 

 Among those making the trip were Mr. 

 and Mrs. Peter Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Patten, Mr. and Mrs. Goddard, William 

 Sim, E. Allan Peirce, J. K. M. L. Far- 

 quhar, Patrick Welch, W. J. Stewart, 

 Frank Gibbs, B. Hammond Tracy, Mr. 

 and Mrs. H. H. Bartsch and W. A. Mc- 

 Alpine. Some of the party will return 

 at the end of the week, but others will 

 spend some additional time in and 

 around Chicago. 



The wholesale flower markets are re- 

 ceiving their annual overhauling and 

 cleaning, preparatory to the auction 

 sales of stalls August 31. The Boston 

 Cooperative Market anticipates a rec-
