The dahlia «how of the Henry F. 

 Michell Co., held last week, proved a 

 great success. There were dahlias from 

 Andalusia, from Ateo, from Williams- 

 town Junction and from the private 

 gardeners, 5,000 blooms in all. There 

 was a great throng of visitors, who 

 freely tised the gift notebooks for re- 

 cording names of desirable sorts for 

 their home gardens. Phil.

The Market. 



Business continued quite satisfactory 

 during the greater part of last week. We 

 had cool weather and this started up 

 business with the retailers with a de- 

 cided snap. This ¥;as followed by a 

 spell of Indian summer heat, which 

 caused a little cessation in buying. On 

 the whole, however, trade is good and 

 the daily clean-up all that could be 

 expected. 



Boses are easily the leaders and are 

 more in evidence than any other flow- 

 ers. Chrysanthemums are rapidly com- 

 ing to the front and will dispute suprem- 

 acy in a few days. At all the lead- 

 ing stores Mme. Charles Bussell is prov- 

 ing a great seller and is the rose sensa- 

 tion of the season here. A good second 

 is Christy Miller, which finds general 

 favor. Each of these is now of fine 

 quality. Prince de Bulgarie, Cardinal, 

 Killarney and White Killarney and Kil- 

 larney Queen are all good, while the 

 various yellows, including Sunburst, 

 are selling well. 



Carnations are steadily improving and 

 cut more of a figure each day. Some 

 double as well as single violets are ar- 

 riving. Lilies are up in price and sell 

 well, as does lily of the valley. While 

 we have had some frosts, they have not 

 been sufficiently severe to finish off

outside flowers and a good variety is 

 still coming in. Among chrysanthe- 

 mums Polly Bose and Pacific are now 

 the leaders, but Golden Glow, Smith's 

 Advance, G. S. Kalb, Halliday, October 

 Frost and one or two others are arriv- 

 ing. Cattleyas are getting quite abun- 

 dant and there are more gardenias. 

 The trade in asparagus and adiantum 

 is quite good. 



Among pot plants, cyclamens and 

 Lorraines are now good and in demand. 

 Nephrolepis and other ferns are also 

 moving well. Plant business in general 

 is taking on new life. 



Various Notes. 



The cyclamens at Thomas Boland's, 

 Nahant, are a grand sight. There are 

 eight houses of them, over a quartec 

 of an acre, every plant a specimen. At 

 Revere this season Mr. Roland grew 

 forty tons of tomatoes in his new house, 

 60 X 500. He now has this house planted 

 with white and pink sweet peas for 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. Ma- 

 terial ifci -ig this week for another 

 Lord & .'. iJam house, 61x500. The 

 contyf .alls for completion by No-
