The Market. 



Flowers are now much more abundant 

 and prices have taken quite a tumble. 

 Those who managed to get a good crop 

 of really early asters made money, but 

 now prices are away down. Asters are, 

 and will be for some time, the leading 

 flower on the market. Recent copious 

 rains have wonderfully improved them 

 and they are now of good quality. 

 Queen of the Market is the leading sort, 

 but some good Comets also are seen. 

 Gladioli are more abundant and down 

 in price. Good sweet peas are not plen- 

 tiful and are worth 50 cents per hun- 

 dred. Quite a lot of poor, short-stemmed 

 ones are seen, however. Quantities of 

 short-stemmed roses are in evidence and 

 hard to move. Beauties are good and 

 there are some nice Kaiserin, Carnot 

 and Taft. Carnations are, with one 

 or two exceptions, poor and their place 

 has been taken by asters. Valley sells 

 moderately well, as do lilies, sweet sul- 

 tans and cornflowers. Cattleyas are 

 scarce. A few dahlias have appeared 



and herbaceous perennials are freely 

 used in store windows. 



Various Notes. 



A. G. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, is one 

 of the largest and most successful grow- 

 ers of asters for the local market. He 

 is now sending in 15,000 to 20,000 

 blooms daily to the Boston Cooperative 

 Market. 



Chrysanthemum Golden Glow (not 

 Bonnaffon, as one of our contempo- 

 raries would have it) was seen at the 

 Boston Flower Exchange July 29, W. A. 

 Hastings receiving them from Nelson & 

 Johnson, of Framingham. R. T. Mc- 

 Gorum marketed some of the same va- 

 riety August 1. 



Among the kilted sons of Scotia in 

 evidence in the procession prior to the 

 annual Scotch picnic at Caledonia 

 grove, West Roxbury, August 3, were 

 P. M. Metter, W, J. Collins, George 

 Melvin and W. A. Eiggs. 



Robert Montgomery, of Natick, is 

 having two new lOO horse-power steam 

 boilers installed. Daniel Iliffe is doing 

 the work. 



H. R. Comley, on Park street, reports 

 a fair summer business. 



John W. Poote, of Reading, con- 

 tinues to ship Beacon carnations equal 

 to midwinter quality, also fine Fink De- 

 light.

A. N. Eaton, of South Sudbury, and 

 Malcolm Orr, of Saugus, have fine 

 asters at the Boston Coop^erative 

 Market. 



William Sim, in addition to his heavy 

 pick of tomatoes, has been marketing 

 splendid sweet corn at remunerative 

 prices. He has six acres of this, all 

 started under glass. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, is 

 changing his heating system from hot 

 water to steam and is installing two 

 steam boilers. He has a new house 

 planted with gardenias, two planted 

 with Bonnaffon mums and one filled 

 with poinsettias in pots. 



Robert Montgomery, wife and family 

 are enjoying their vacations in their 

 summer cottage at Bustins Island, Me. 



Thomas Pegler has given up the sale 

 of cut flowers for good at the Boston 

 Flower Exchange, where he has been 

 a leading salesman for some years. His 

 genial presence will be much missed
