SOUTHINGTON, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business seems to be good, consider- 

 ing the season of the year. Many people 

 are on vacations. Since the rain the 

 florists have been overstocked with 

 flowers. Outdoor stock continues to be 

 plentiful, such as asters, gladioli and 

 sweet peas. Carnations are scarce and 

 short-stemmed. Hydrangeas are begin- 

 ning to make their appearance. The 

 long looked-for rain arrived last week. 



Various Notes. 



Olson & Lunden have five houses of 

 carnations and mums. The firm is look- 

 ing forward to a good business this 

 coming season. 



William Fischer, of the Buckland 

 greenhouses, has about completed his 

 two new houses and will start to erect 

 another house before fall. 



Earl S. Bavier, of Marion, was a 

 business caller in Plantsville last week. 



The Blatchley Co. is growing fine car- 

 nations for its Meriden store. B. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



There is an .ibundance of stock in 

 nearly all lines and an over abundance 

 of asters and white roses. Tuesday 

 morning, September 5, after a half 

 holiday Labor day, the trade was brisk, 

 both as to local and shipping orders, 

 and stock cleaned up nicely. The bal- 

 ance of the week, however, saw a fall- 

 ing off in sales and an increase in the 

 supply of stock.

Asters, both indoor and outdoor stock, 

 are in heavy supply. There are few 

 complaints from the growers this sea- 

 son as to the aster beetle. The heavy 

 rains of the last few weeks seem to 

 have drowned them out.

A large and lively crowd turned out 

 at the last meeting of the Florists' 

 ('lub, Monday evening, September 11.

 year were in order and it was equiva-

 its waving graceful branches in the 

 desert sands.
