the executive committee. An amendment 

 to the by-laws to create life memberships 

 was proposed. 



The exhibits were fine. Excellent Ivory 

 mums came from Rosemere Conservato- 

 ries. William Doans had white Lady 

 Lenox cosmos and single mums. W. N. 

 Craig showed seedling, pompon and early 

 Knglish mums. Peter Fisher staged May 

 Day carnation, esteemed highly by him, 

 also an excellent variegated seedling. 



Refreshments were served as usual. 



Flower Market Annual Meeting:. 



The annual meeting and banquet of 

 I lie Boston Co-operative Flower Growers' 

 Association (Park Street Market) was 

 h.ld at Young's hotel, the evening of 

 ()( tober 23, and was largely attended. A 

 tii-t-class menu was enjoyed by the com- 

 11,1 ny, after which business matters were 

 ;it once taken up, W. C. Stickel, the presi- 

 lent, being in the chair. The death of 

 K. Sutermeister, one of the board of 

 li rectors, only two evenings previous, cast 

 sdinething of a gloom over the meeting, 

 tlic deceased, for a number of years, hav- 

 \w^ been one of the most respected, and 

 ,if all times sunny-natured, members seen 

 ;it the yearly gatherings. Resolutions of 

 sympathy with the family of the deceased 

 gentleman were adopted, and the same 

 inlered spread on the secretary's records. 



The following board of oiBcers were 

 fleeted: President, W. C. Stickel; vice- 

 president, William Nicholson; secretary 

 Mild treasurer, George Cartwright; direct- 

 or?, Alex. Montgomery, L. W. Mann, 

 Tliomas Pegler, A. Christensen, E. A. 

 I'eirce and S. J. Goddard, the last named 

 succeeding E. Sutermeister. 



It was unanimously voted to liquidate 

 the existing corporation, and it was an- 

 nounced that 534 shares, at $20 per share, 

 liad been taken in the new corporation, 

 nhich will be capitalized at $20,000, the 

 'riginal market only having $1,500 capital. 

 The market, with its good will and other 

 than cash assets, will be turned over to a 

 new corporation. 



The treasurer 's report showed cash on 

 liarid October 1, 1908, $6,837.59; market 

 rentals and other receipts, $10,891.33; 

 interest from banks, $274.74; total, $18,- 

 '•"3.66. Expenditures of the year were, 

 ^10.206.99; bank balance, $7,796.67. 

 ^ome uncollected rentals would bring the 

 -iirplus to $9,200, showing a substantial 

 i^ain during the last year. 



The question of another trade exhibi- 

 tion was voted laid on the table, to be 

 taken up by the new board of officers to 

 '"appointed. 



Various Notes. 



The New England fruit show, which 



•sed October 24, attracted large crowds 

 'i" visitors from all parts of New Eng- 

 ' nd, and was the largest, and most suc- 

 ' ' ssful, show of the kind ever held in the 

 ' ist. It will cause quite a boom in fruit 



'Iture here, and "back to the east" 



ill take the place of "go west, young 

 !iian. '■■ The quality of fruits displayed 

 "liiprised the western visitors, who freely 



'initted that, while their fruit might 

 '•'ve some advantage in size, the eastern 

 : 'oduct in flavor, color and keeping quali- 

 ''fs easily led. New Iiampshire and 

 Maine won the leading apple premiums. 

 '• H. Hale, Prof. John Craig of Cornell, 

 '^^ • A. Taylor of Washington, Prof. E. 

 ' 'wight Sanderson of Durham, N. J., and 



'hers, lectured during the exhibition. 



The death, October 21, of the -whole- 

 '^ "uled and genial E. Sutermeister, cast 

 I'lite a gloom over the markets, where

COLUMBUS, OHIO 



no grower was better known or more 

 esteemed. 



William Sim's new house, to be erected 

 this fall, of Lord & Burnham material, 

 will be the largest one devoted to violets 

 and sweet peas, in the country. The 

 dimensions are 43x500, there being a 

 height of eight feet at the sides. Wide 

 doors will allow teams to enter the house. 

 Violets, Kaiser Wilhelm and Baronne 

 Rothschild, are both promising well, but 

 Princess of Wales and Boston are still 

 the leaders. The new house will be given 

 up, after the violets are gone, to the late- 

 blooming varieties of sweet peas. Mr. 

 Sim is also at work on a handsome new 

 residence for himself. 



Walter Holden, N. F. Comley's sales- 

 man, is the proud father of a fine 11- 

 pound son, born October 21. 



James IF. Leach, of North Easton, is 

 recovering nicely from a dislocation of 

 the shoulder, the result of a fall at the 

 North Easton depot, October 15. 



William Nicholson is one of the few 

 growers still producing fancy mums for 

 the Boston market. He is now cutting 

 some fine Pennsylvania, Crocus, Eosiere 

 and other varieties. 



Willow Hill Greenhouses are sending in 

 an excellent lot of Bouvardia Humboldtii 

 to Park Street market. 



S. J. Goddard is delighted with Car- 

 nation Pink Delight, which he is picking 

 with splendid stems. Beacon, Victory and 

 Helen Goddard are also fine with him. 



Patten & Co. are well pleased with the 

 behavior of Carnation Shasta, which they 

 planted heavily and for which they are 

 eastern agents. A handsome vase of this 

 variety attracted much favorable notice 

 at the Park Street market dinner, Octo- 

 ber 23. 



Samuel Neil, of Dorchester, is growing 

 Christmas peppers heavily and his stock 

 looks unusually well. Carnations, chrys- 

 anthemums, etc., arc all promising. Two 

 of Mr. Neil 's sons are operating a flower 

 store successfully at Meeting House hill. 



S. J. Goddard finished planting his new 

 King construction carnation house Octo- 

 ber 23. Non-arrival of material delayed 

 its erection about six weeks. 



Prospects for the chrysanthemum show, 

 which opens November 5, are good. Nei- 

 ther big blooms nor specimen plants are 

 popular around Boston, as they once 

 were, but a good miscellaneous display 

 will be forthcoming. 



L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, is again 

 having exceptional success with double 

 violets. 



.L T. Gale, also of Tewksbury, has a 

 fine lot of Campbells. 



The white and pink Killarneya. now 

 coming in from Wabah Conservatories, 

 are of such grand quality that Bride and 

 Maid are not in the same class.

Sunday, October 10, doing millions of 

 dollars in damage. Three hundred to- 

 bacco barns are down, almost all bananas 

 are ruined and the orange trees are bad- 

 ly hurt. Many people were rendered 

 homeless, but few fatalities were re- 

 ported. 



Westboro, Mass. — A greenhouse, 22x 

 107, is being erected at the hospital. The 

 house is handsome and substantial in 

 construction, with a foundation of con- 

 crete blocks, and occupies a conspicuous 

 position on the hospital grounds. Next 

 year another house, of similar style, will 

 be built near-by.
