NEWPORT, E. I. 



At the last regular meeting of the 

 Newport Horticultural Society, held in 

 Mercury hall on the evening of July 

 12, the special attraction was an exhibi- 

 tion of sweet peas. 



Though the tables were well filled 

 with exhibits, there was but one class 

 in competition. This was for the best 

 six vases of not less than three varie- 

 ties, for which there were three entries. 

 The first prize was awarded to Mrs. 

 William G. Weld, Paul Volguardson 

 gardener, and Mr. Volguardson also 

 received a first-class certificate from the 

 society for this exhibit, besides the 

 regular prize. The second prize was 

 awarded for exhibits that came from 

 the gardens of Colonel Daniel B. Fear- 

 ing, James Baumgartner gardener, 

 while the third prize was awarded to 

 Miss Ellen Mason, Samuel Langford 

 gardener. 



Special awards were granted to other 

 exhibitors, including the following: 

 James Robertson, gardener for Mrs. T. 

 O. Richardson; Colin Robertson, gnr 

 dener for Mrs. Robert Goelet; C. M. 

 Bngholt, gardener for Miss Fannie Fos- 

 ter; William Matson, gardener for Miss 

 Alice Keteltas; James Hooper, gar- 

 dener for Mrs. Theodore K. Gibbs. 



The . judges were Andrew Meikle, 

 Bruce Butterton and William MacKay.

The Market. 



Absolutely nothing doing, is the 

 unanimous verdict on business for the 

 first half of July. This period always 

 is looked upon as a specially dull one, 

 bet with the extreme heat it really 

 seemed duller than ever this year. It 

 would be di£Scult to make quotations, 

 as a wholesale slaughtering of prices 

 was necessary to make sales. The 

 weather at the time of writing is a 

 trifle cooler and business is, iF anything, 

 a shade better, but there is little like- 

 lihood of any great improvement for 

 some weeks yet. 



Some fine Kaiserin roses are coming 

 in, but these have been so far strangely

neglected by buyers. Bride and Maid 

 are down and out. A few small Rich- 

 monds are still seen, but no one wants 

 them. Killarney also is poor. Of Car- 

 not a few nice blooms are seen. Car- 

 nations are still overabundant and of 

 poorer quality; 25 cents per hundred 

 has been as much as fair flowers have 

 been making, and sales even at this 

 price have not been easy. Sweet peas 

 are generally short-stemmed. Some se- 

 lects may make 25 cents per hundred, 

 while 300 will go in other cases for the 

 same money. There are plenty of gladi- 

 oli and longiflorum, speciosum and aura- 

 tum lilies, with light sales. Sweet sul- 

 tan has sold moderately well. There is 

 a good supply of pink cosmos, which 

 makes a pleasing addition. There is no 

 sale for candytuft, stocks and bache- 

 lor's buttons. Few gardenias and cat- 

 tleyas are wanted and valley is in light 

 demand, as are asparagus and adiantum.

Martin Wax, of the enterprising firm
