 the fronds now being well ripened. A.

 For asparagus the sales are down to 

 their usual summer level. 



Various Notes. 



Henry M. Kobinson & Co. are doing 

 a good midsummer business in cut flow- 

 ors. They report valley, Beauty roses 

 and sweet peas as specially good qual- 

 ity. They sell a large quantity of 

 Adiantum Croweanum. They recently 

 acquired three additional floors one or 

 two doors from their old stand, cover- 

 ing 13,000 feet of floor space. These 

 are devoted to florists' sundries. One 

 floor is given up to wire designs and 

 a force of men were busy at work on 

 these. It is the intention of the firm 

 to have these new floors packed with 

 floods before fall, and quite a number 

 of new lines will be added. They will 

 make a large exhibit at the coming S. 

 A. F. national show. At present 

 Charles E. Eobinson is the man in 

 charge. His brother, Henry, is enjoy- 

 ing his vacation at Green Harbor, 

 Mass., while Joseph Margolis, the third 

 member of the firm, is in Europe, look- 

 ing out for desirable novelties. 



Alfred L. Hutson, the popular sales- 

 man for William H. Elliott, left August 

 4 for Bermuda, where he will spend his 

 vacation. Mr. Hutson usually goes a 

 good distance afield, a year ago taking 

 in the A.-Y.-P. exposition and Alaska. 



H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, is 

 one of our aster kings. He is ship- 

 ping fine consignments to George Cart- 

 wright, at C Park street, and will have 

 quantities of superb long-stemmed flow- 

 era a little later. 



B. Hammond Tracy, of Wenham, is 

 our principal commercial grower of gla- 

 dioli near Boston. Just now his fields 

 are looking fine, in spite of the con- 

 tinued drought. Mr. Tracy has all the 

 newest and most up-to-date varieties 

 in quantity, and it is a treat to visit 

 his place at this season. He expects to 

 make an exhibit at the Rochester con- 

 vention, 



Andrew K. Rogers, of Readville, has 

 been sick in a hospital with typhoid
