Erne & Klingel report that the orders 

 for valley have been coming so fast that 

 it is hard to keep the supply up to the 

 demand, regardless of the fact that sev- 

 eral new growers have been added to 

 the list.

The Market. 



Far too many flowers are arriving for 

 the demand, and prices, which a week 

 ago were holding fairly well, are now 

 on the down grade. Peonies are now 

 almost at their height and add to the 

 weight of unsalable goods. For first- 

 class white and pink peonies there is a 

 good call. Of other colors few are 

 wanted. The quality is splendid, thanks 

 to the long continued spell of cool 

 weather and abundant moisture. Car- 

 nations are away down in price; 50 

 cents per hundred is an average price, 

 and $1 buys fine flowers. Quite a few 

 of inferior quality are seen. Roses are 

 abundant and hard to move. Mrs. Aaron 

 "Ward, Killarney and Hillingdon sell 

 well. Sweet peas of the Spencer type 

 are in demand. The outdoor crop will 

 make its appearance this week and it 

 has never been finer. 



Marguerites of good quality continue 

 to sell well. Mrs. F. Sander is particu- 

 larly fine. Gladioli, both large and 

 small-flowered, are overabundant; so is 

 Spanish iris, which latter will also be 

 available from outdoors this week. The 

 demand for antirrhinum is poor, only 

 one or+wo special shades being wanted. 

 "Valley for weddings has sold well. Or- 

 chids are druggy. Callas and lilies are 

 each away down in price. For miscel- 

 laneous flowers there is little demand. 

 Adiantum and asparagus are each of 

 poor quality and there is not much call 

 for them. 



Exhibition. 



A prize exhibition was held at Horti- 

 cultural hall June 8 and 9 and some 

 interesting exhibits were forthcoming. 

 R. & J. Farquhar & Co. received a 

 bronze medal for a fine display of 

 double pyrethrums. They also received 

 honorable mention for their new lilium,

Tracy, of Wenham, recording the fact 

 that he secured a silver cup for his 

 collection of gladioli in pots, shown at 

 London, stated that he and others were 

 being royally entertained by the Brit- 

 ish horticulturists. The Americans were 

 almost overwhelmed by the Interna- 

 tional show in London and the magnifi- 

 cent exhibits. 



The grounds of Prof. C. S. Sargent at 

 Holm Lea, Brookline, were thrown open 

 to the public June 8 and 9 and thou- 

 sands availed themselves of the privi- 

 lege to inspect the displays of rhodo-
