 five acres of beautiful scenic grounds

 land, and will be used for the growing

BOSTON. 



The Market. 



So far August business has been 

 fully as good as could be expected — a 

 little better, on the whole, than a year 

 ago, although some growers are prone 

 to say each summer is a little worse 

 than its immediate predecessor. Roses 

 are somewhat improved in quality since 

 we had a cessation of extreme heat. 

 Some nice Beauties still are seen. Kai- 

 serin is exceptionally good, while White 

 Killarney and My Maryland are of 

 fair quality for August. Carnations are 

 poor and rapidly nearing the end. A 

 few decent flowers are seen, but the 

 majority are of little value. Asters 

 are more abundant. They are still 

 mostly Queen of the Earlies. Small 

 lots only of the Comet or Ostrich Plume 

 section are seen. These take the place 

 of carnations in design work. 



Sweet peas are, except in rare cases, 

 of poor quality. Double gypsophila 

 still is seen. Demand for valley is light, 

 while cosmos sells slowly. Gladioli 

 from outdoors are more numerous and 

 move more slowly. Lilium longiflorum, 

 L. auratum and L. speciosum . all are 

 plentiful, but none of them is in much 

 demand. A few gardenias still come 

 in, but there is no great demand for 

 them, any more than for cattleyas,
