urgently needed and crops of all kinds 

 are burning up. Growers of carnations 

 are in many cases watering them to 

 keep them alive and some crops are 

 almost a dead failure. 



The flower market is dull these days; 

 still plenty of stock and trade slim. 

 Good roses are getting scarce, but of 

 short stems there is a heavy surplus. 

 Shippers of carnations are getting dis- 

 couraging returns and many, in disgust, 

 are pulling out their plants preparatory 

 to replanting. Sweet peas are seen 

 everywhere, of every conceivable color 

 and quality. They bring anywhere from 

 $1 to $5 per thousand, with a heavy 

 surplus. Callas, lilies, cattleyas and 

 candytuft are all hard to move. Corn- 

 flowers and sweet sultans sell fairly 

 well, and there is a moderate call for 

 gypsophila, valley and Gladiolus Amer- 

 ica. A light crop of early asters are 

 arriving, and various other outdoor 

 flowers, for which there is little call. 



Various Notes. 



Boston will this week welcome a 

 large delegation of sweet pea enthu- 

 siasts. President Sim has thrown him- 

 self body and soul into the preparations 

 for this shpw and has worked like a

veritable Trojan. Much of its success 

 will be due to his hard, plodding work 

 and visitors will be surprised to see 

 how much enthusiasm has been created 

 for this finest of all annuals for flo- 

 rists. In spite of the abnormal dryness 

 of the last few weeks and intense heat, 

 the display of sweet peas, judging from 

 entries received, is going to be an im- 

 mense one. The Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club will serve a lunch at 6:30 

 p. m. July 13 to all visitors from a dis- 

 tance, and an auto ride over the Boston 

 park system will be enjoyed on the 

 following day. A phenomenal attend- 

 ance at the exhibition is assured. The 

 halls will be open until 10 p. m. each 

 evening. 



S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, is 

 busy throwing out his carnations and 

 will start replanting this week. He 



will grow Rosette, Benora, St. Nicholas 

 and some other novelties" the coming 

 season. He finds Gloriosa a fine sum- 

 mer variety, away ahead of Winsor. 

 Mr. Goddard, with his wife and daugh- 

 ter, will spend their vacation in St. 

 Johns, N. B., leaving about the end of 

 July. 



I regret to report the death, July 5, 

 of John McManus, buyer for Galvin's 

 Back Bay store and widely and favor- 

 ably known in the trade. 



William Sim visited the Asbury Park 

 show last week and spoke enthusiastic- 

 ally of the big sweet pea display. He 

 shipped 10,000 sweet peas by express 

 for this show, which had not arrived 

 when he left for home thirty-six hours 

 after he had shipped them.
