the wholesale flower market on Park 

 str' et, twenty-three in number, went 

 ^own the harbor July 21, their object 

 being a boat load of the finny tribe. 

 W] ile the catches of the members did 

 io* quite reach expectations, all had an 

 un imited amount of fun. Lester Mann, 

 of Randolph, proved the most expert 

 fisherman, landing more fish than any- 

 on<' else, also getting the heaviest 

 sp'cimens. 



'he Rev. W. T. Hutchins, the sweet 

 Pe • specialist, has been spending a few 

 davs in town. 



'^Villiam Glidden, Back Bay salesman 

 for the Budlong Co., Auburn, R. I., is 

 ^iijoying a well-earned vacation. 



^Jeorge Dunn, one of the popular 

 clcT-ks at Thomas F. Galvin's Tremont 

 street store, left last week for his an- 

 nual vacation. 



Mann Bros., of Randolph, are handling 

 ^^ extra fine lot of Gladiolus America, 

 ^uMoor grown, at their stand at C 

 I'a'-k street. 



A. Leuthy, of Roslindale, left this 



week on his annual European trip, 

 which will take in several countries. 

 Azaleas, palms and other plants, in 

 which Mr. Leuthy specializes, will be 

 bought in large numbers. 



After a cool and invigorating week, 

 the hot wave returned July 23. The 

 two following days, with maximum tem- 

 peratures of 94 degrees, were about the 

 most disagreeable of the present sum- 

 mer. We continue to have a serious 

 deficiency in rainfall. 



W. E. Turner is back from a vaca- 

 tion spent at Jefferson, Me., and re- 

 ports fishing as being extra good. 



The hot weather does not prevent 

 active canvassing for the S. A. R con- 

 vention at Rochester, and everything 

 points to a fine delegation from Boston. 



A. S. Parker, of Stoneham, has a field 

 of asters which promises to surpass in- 

 quality previous years' crops. Few 

 growers can get such stems on their 

 flowers as Mr. Parker. 



The Waban Conservatories are ship- 

 ping extra fine Kaiserin roses at pres- 



ent. They are planting a house of W. 

 H. Elliott 's specialty, Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 this season. W. N. Craig. 



SHADINa FOB HOUSES. 



Will you kindly tell me how to make 

 a preparation for shading my house f I 

 want something that will wash off 

 easily. I do not want to use white- 

 wash, as it is so hard to remove. 



L. M. S. 



Kerosene or naphtha and white lead 

 make as neat and satisfactdry a prepa- 

 ration as any you could use. It can be 

 either sprayed on with a force pump, 

 or on smaller houses put on with a long- 

 handled, flat whitewash brush. Frost 

 and snow will remove this. It can also 

 be rubbed off when desired. Be sure 

 not to use any linseed oil, or the shad- 

 ing will be very hard to remove. If 

 you want a shading to come off more 

 easily still, use whiting and kerosene. 

 This will be more liable to wash off, 

 however, during heavy rains. C.
