Discuss New Wholesale Market. A well-attended meeting of growers was held at the Parker House, Boston, Mass., December 6. An excellent dinner preceded the meeting. Guests from a distance included W. R. Pierson, Crom- well, Conn., and A. M. Henshaw, New York. S. J. Goddard presided and, after a few introductory remarks, asked W. C.

On the Warren avenue side there will be j)arking space and in addition a long platform leading to the market proper through double doors. By this means l)oxes can be loaded and unloaded ((uickly with a minimum amount of handling. There will be additional parking spaces in Montgomery square and on adjoining streets. A large hall way in one corner of the building lias just been discovere
