has brought in a heavy crop, and as 

 stems are in the main rather short, the 



lemand is only moderate. Koses are in 

 rhe same predicament and are a much 

 -lower sale, short-stemmed stock being 



lifficult to dispose of. A continuation of 

 ^\a^m weather \vill aggravate existing 



onditions. 

 Violets aio mostly coming from out- 



iuurs and are quite abundant for so early 

 111 the season, singles predominating. 

 Valley sells well. Lilium longiflorum is 

 rather more plentiful. The clear weather 

 has caused a coming again of outdoor 

 supplies, such as asters, gladioli, cosmos, 

 dahlias, celosias, etc., which only a sharp 

 rrost will put an end to. This cannot be 

 long deferred. There is a good call for 

 idiantuni and asparagus and more of an 

 ]!K|niry for hnrdy ferns and sinilax.

Vatloui Notes. 



_,-Wir uaw lM_-en cii .joying for Icn days 

 most magnificent weatlier. with cloudless 

 skies. Never weri' tlic autumn tints on 

 •rees and shruljs more beautiful and sel- 

 lom has there been such a wealth of fruit 

 on Crataegus, CornUs florida, euonymus 

 ind many other slirubs. The parkways 

 'ind arboretum have been the Mecca for 

 losts of visitors of late. Rain October 

 11 ended one of the finest spells of fall 

 veathcr we ever experienced. 



At the NovemV)er meeting of the Gar- 

 leners* and Florists' Club, Miss L. L. 

 Hetzer, of the Ladies' School of Horti- 

 •nlture. Oniton, Mass., will speak on 

 •'.Tottings on a Journey Abroad." Miss 

 lletzer is a member of the club and an 

 -■nthusiastic floriculturist. There will be 

 no meeting October 19, owing to the 

 New England fruit show occupying the 

 halls, but J. K. M. L. Farquhar's sterc- 

 •pticon bulb lecture will be given Octo- 

 l.pr 26. 



The members of the Boston Cooperative 

 i"'lower Market were apportioned their 

 stalls October 9. Of the 127 stalls, all 

 l)ut a small number arc taken, and Park 

 Street Market No. 2, as the newest mar- 

 ket is being trommonly called, starts off 

 with brilliant j.rospects. There was a 

 livrge attendance! of growers at the mar- 

 ket October 9 and a general spirit of 

 ■ptimism prevailed. 



At the Brockton fair. New England's 



fading outdoor carnival, which closed 



' )ctober 8, there was the usual large at- 



lendance, 158,000 paid admissions being 



^ho record for the four days. Dahlias

 exlu))it constructed a model of Bunker 

 Hill monument, ten feet high, of white 

 dahlias. 



William A. Walke. of Salem, at Park 

 Street Market No. 2, has an extra fine 

 lot of longiflorum lilies and excellent 

 pink antirrhinums. Mr. Walke is one of 

 the best growers of pot plants and cut 

 flowers for the Boston market. 



For the New England fruit show, to 

 be held at Horticultural hall, Boston, 

 October 19 to 24, entries for 500 boxes 

 and barrels and 2,000 plates of apples 

 are already to hand. Everything points 

 to the show being a grand success. 



OvvJng to the warm weather, violet spe- 

 cialists are later than usual in housing 

 their stock of singles this season. Will- 

 iam Sim, who is the largest local grower, 

 with about 100,000 jilants, is just com- 

 mencing to i)lant. 



The present corporation of the older 

 Park Street Market will probably be dis- 

 solved and a new one formed. Definite 

 action will probably be taken in a few 

 days. The aYinual banquet at Young's 

 hotel will occur October 23. 



N. F. Comley is already in the market 

 witli a good crop of indoor grown sweet 

 peas, of which he makes quite a specialty.
