The Market. 



Last week was a somewhat trying 

 one; but for the intense heat, however, 

 business would have been quite good, 

 owing to the numerous school and col- 

 lege graduations and commencements, 

 in addition to a considerable number 

 of weddings. The heat ruined many 

 flowers and prices slumped all around, 

 indoor roses being particular sufferers 

 in this respect, it being almost impos- 

 sible to cut and keep them in the bud 

 state. Good Carnot, Kaiserin and Kil- 

 larney made fair prices and nice out- 

 door hybrids were eagerly bought. Good 

 Beauties sold well, but these were not 

 abundant. Other roses were rather 

 neglected. Peonies were a hard propo- 

 sition, dropping badly even when cut 

 partially open. The present week will 

 see the end of these. 



Carnations are rapidly nearing the 

 end and such as are now arriving are of 

 poor quality, with few exceptions. Fair 

 prices are being made by good flowers. 

 Other grades sell low. Sweet peas from 

 outdoors are in abundant supply and 

 now selling much lower. The present 

 weather being cooler, these are now of 

 good quality, the Spencer varieties still 

 being the most popular. Lilies are 

 ample for all demands. For valley de- 

 mand has been good during the present 

 month. Gypsophila sells fairly well. 

 Stocks, candytuft, gladioli and a good 

 variety of other flowers are seen. Some 

 water lilies, asters and Cattleya Har- 

 ' risonisB are among bther flowers noted. 

 Demand for a/diantum and asparagus 

 lias dropped off considerably, and the 

 market will probably lapse into a state 

 of midsummer dunness for some time. 



Various Notes. 



John F. Flood, of Dedham, who re- 

 cently bought the Mrs. David Fisher 

 estate in Woburn, moves there to take 

 possession this week. Mr. Flood will 

 grow Asparagus Sprengeri, adiantums, 

 carnations and bedding stock as spe- 

 cialties and will be a welcome addi- 

 tion to the ranks of Boston's trade 

 growers. 



Charles ,T. Harvey, of Needham 

 Heights, who has had a seven weeks' 

 siege of whooping cough, is once more 

 to be seen in his customary place in 

 the wholesale market. 



Samuel Hudson, of the Harvard Bo- 

 tanic Gardens, leaves this week to en- 

 ter the employ of W. J. & M. S. Vesey, 

 of Fort Wayne, Tnd., who are planning 

 to grow orchids in the near future, in 

 addition to their present lines. 



Henry W. Vose. of Hyde Park, is 

 sending in some of the finest outdoor 

 candytuft we have seen this season. 



William W. Edgar Co., of Waverly, 

 is busy finishing the benching of chrj'- 

 santhemums. The genial manager, 

 Herman H. Bartsch, is hoping to at- 

 tend the coming Rochester convention 

 of the S. A. F. 



J. T. Butterworth, of South Framing- 

 ham, is starting to cut a fine lot of 

 Cattleya Harrisonia*. He is still cut- 

 ting some of the earlier large flower- 

 ing cattleyas. 



E. O. Orpet, since June 21, has been 

 visiting many friends in this ivicinity 

 before leaving to lasgume charge of his 

 new place at Lake Forest, HI., July 1. 



James Wheeler has the work of glaz- 

 ing on his big new greenhouse well ad- 

 vanced. He hopes the Gardeners' and
