The Market. 



There is no great change in the cut 

 jlower market. If anything, business 

 was a little improved last week, the 

 shiii])ing trade to seaside resorts being 

 better. In the way of roses, Kaiserin 

 are extra good and meeting with a fair 

 sale, also Caruot. Tiie majority of the 

 Killarney are rather small. Xot many 

 Beauties are seen, but some My Mary- 

 land are coming in. Quite a few small 

 sized tlowers are bard to move. Carna- 

 tions are nearly down and out. The 

 idd cro)) is practically finished, and 

 what blooms arrive are small. A few 

 outdoor-grown flowers are seen, and 

 some of the ncAV crop is about due. 



Asters are growing in quantity and 

 imjiroving in quality. While the ma- 

 jority are Queen of the Market, some 

 of the Comet and Ostrich Plume sec- 



tion are also coming in. Values on 

 these have declined. Lily of the vallev 

 shows rather more life and lias mci 

 with quite a good sale of late. Ot 

 lilies there is an abundant supply, not 

 only in longifiorums, Init auratnni- 

 iind sjteciosums, both white and rose 

 The two latter do not sell well. GIti 

 dioli are abundant- and of good quality, 

 but do not meet with a ready sale: 

 neither do cosmos and the variety ot 

 other outdoor annuals now arriving; 

 Supj)lies of green stock are ample, bu' 

 the dcmtind at present is not heavy. 



Various Notes. 



The Boston visitors to the S. A. Y 

 convention at Rochester left in twe 

 special cars via the ]?oston and Albanv 

 railroad, August 15 at 10 a. m. It wn- 

 both a substantial and jolly crowd, the 

 largest Boston has sent to a convention 

 for many years. Evidences were abun 

 dant that there would be unlimited 

 jollity on the journey, and anyone com 

 ing in contact with them would have 

 no doubt of where the party haileil 

 from, any more than any convention ists 

 at Rochester would do. Great praise is 

 due E. Allan Peirce, state vice presi 

 dent, for his strenuous work to secure 

 ;i substantial delegation. He threw 

 both time and money into it, and the 

 results must be particularly pleasing te 

 him. The Boston train stopped at 

 Worcester, Palmer. Springfield and 

 Pittsfield, where other conventionisl- 

 were picked up. 



Robert Cameron returned from B;ii 

 Harbor, Me.. August 15. His stay was 

 briefer than intended, as extensive 

 changes in the greenhouses at Harvanl 

 Botanic Gardens are being made or are 

 in immediate prospect. 



A. G. Lake, of Wcllesley Hills, h.i- 

 his usual grand field of asters, wbiidi 

 are among the finest to be seen in 

 Massachusetts.
