BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Business has been quiet during the 

 last week. There seems to be no great 

 surplus of flowers, but the demand as 

 yet lacks snap. Summer dullness has 

 not yet given place to fall activity. It 

 is hoped that the return of vacationists 

 will this week improve matters some- 

 what. Asters are still the predominant 

 factor in the market and the quality is 

 unusually good, but they are so abun- 

 dant that their values have sunk to a 

 rather unprofitable level. Few pass over 

 $1 per hundred and others are cleared 

 as low as 300 for the same price. Gla- 

 dioli are still in heavy supply and in- 

 clined to drag. 



Roses, while not of good quality, are 

 steadily improving and are meeting 

 with a fair sale, as are the few carna- 

 tions coming in of the new season's 

 crop. Lilies are ample for all demands, 

 longiflorum being the best seller. Such 

 sweet peas as are seen are of poor qual- 

 ity. Quite a little Texas heath, Physos- 

 tegia Virginica, is seen. It is an ex- 

 cellent perennial for cutting, lasting re- 

 markably well. There is an abundance 

 of cosmos, candytuft, cornflowers and 

 other outdoor flowers. 



Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus 

 and adiantum are of fine quality, but 

 selling slowly at present. Pot plant 

 trade shows signs of starting up a 

 little. 



Various Notes. 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar- 

 ket, at 2 Park street, had its annual 

 auction sale of stalls September 3, at- 

 tracting as usual a large crowd of buy- 

 ers. First choice of stalls went to 

 William H. Elliott, at a premium of 

 $125. N. F. Comley followed with $90. 

 Other high bidders included Robert 

 Montgomery, A. Roper, Donald Carmi- 

 chael, Elijah Cartwright, Edward 

 Wood, John McFarland and L. E. Small. 

 Bidding was animated throughout and 

 over 100 stalls were disposed of, only 

 eight now being unsold. William W. 

 Tailby made, as usual, an excellent auc- 

 tioneer. Refreshments were served to 

 everyone. 



Thomas Roland among his other spe- 

 cialties is sending in a fine lot of well 

 berried Christmas peppers at present.
