chrysanthemums. They are handled by 

 J. S. Manter at C Park street. 



Wax Bros, alwa.vs keep attractive 

 windows. Last week a fine assortment 

 of named dahlias in one window and a 

 fine vase of Souvenir de Gustave Doa- 

 zon were noticed. Nymphseas were an 

 attraction in another window. In or- 

 chids they had Cattleya labiata, gigas 

 and Bowringeana and Vanda caerulea. 



P. L. Carbone, at his Boylston street 

 store, makes excellent use of branches 

 of oak and other autumn leaves in his 

 window displays. Among cut flowers, 

 dahlias and chrysanthemums were the 

 most prominent. Well colored crotons 

 were also a feature. 



William Nicholson, of Framingham. 

 is bringing in some of the finest Poll.v 

 Rose, Pacific and Improved Halliday 

 chrysanthemums seen this season. His 

 carnations are also in the front rank. 



Southworth & rirceue. of Stoughton, 

 handled the first double violets of the 

 season seen at the Boston Flower Ex- 

 change. 



Thomas Roland is sending in extra 

 fine Polly Rose, Pacific and Monrovia 

 chrysanthemums, in addition to the 

 earlier varieties. 



N. F. Comley is still bringing in 

 quantities of asters of good qualit}-, 

 also sweet peas, chrysanthemums and 

 carnations. 



The Jewish holidays, which came Oc- 

 tober 4 and 5, lielped to cause a slump 

 in cut flower trade by taking out of the 

 market many large buyers. Some of 

 the street fakers took advantage of 

 the Brockton fair to soil flowers in the 

 Shoe City during the fair week. Octo- 

 ber 6 one of these salesmen disposed of

no less than 7,500 roses on Main street, 

 Brockton, 



Welch Bros, state that fall business 

 is .starting in satisfactorily with them, 

 shipping trade showing a steady in- 

 crease and being well ahead of a year 

 ago. The}' are handling at present, 

 among other flowers, some extra fine 

 Beauty roses, valley, cattlcyas, chrys- 

 anthemums and gardenias. 



Local nurseries are getting heav}- fall 

 orders. All are eagerly looking forward 

 to rain, which must come before plant- 

 ing can be done. The ground is now 

 so dust-dry that planting is simply out 

 of the question. 



The new rose, Mrs. Cutbush, of the 

 Baby Rambler type, is highly thought 

 of by J. A. Pettigrew. superintendent 

 of the Boston park system. It has 

 bloomed all summer in the nursery. The 

 color is a beautiful pink. The park 

 system, in spite of prevalent dry condi- 

 tions, is beautiful at present, the au- 

 tumn tints being splendid and some of 

 the berried subjects attractive. 



Henry S. Dawson has added a 100- 

 foot propagating house this season at 

 the Easton Nurseries, Holliston. Mr. 

 Dawson 's father, thd redoubtable Jack- 

 son Dawson, celebrated his sixty-ninth 

 birthday anniversary a few days ago. 



Peter Fisher, who is one of the 

 strongest advocates of indoor culture 

 of carnations, is cutting the finest flow- 

 ers seen in Boston at present, with 

 stems equal to midwinter quality. He 

 finds a great improvement in plants 

 grown in sterilized soil and will use 

 more of it another season. A new 

 variegated seedling he has is extremely 

 free and a big advance over Mrs. Pat- 

 ten. He also has a fine cerise. Beacon, 

 White Perfection, Winona, Pink De- 

 light and May Day are all fine. Mr. 

 Fisher has more than doubled his plant- 

 ing of the last named, so well does he 

 like it. 



At a meeting of the trustees of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 October 10, an invitation was extended 

 to fhe Vegetable Growers' Association 

 to hold the next convention in Horti- 

 cultural hall. Plans are under way for 

 a suitable exhibition at the same time. 

 .T. A. Pettigrew, C. W. Parker and 

 W. X. Craig were appointed a com- 

 inittoe to bring in a list of committees 

 for 1911.
