. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. Catalogue No. 61— Parks and Cemeteries Catalogue No. 48-A— Residences and Churches. Mention Tb» R»t1»w when yow wrttw. JSL. HABTFOBD, CONN. The Market. With the school exercises and wed- dings, business last week was- good. Roses are small and of summer quality; the suppljr is large. The supply of car- nations IS becoming limited, as the growers are already replanting. Carna- tions show the effects of the heat. In- door sweet peas are past; some outdoor peas are seen in the market. Various Notes. The barn at Elizabeth park was de- stroyed by fire June 24. The damage is estimated at $5,000, which is covered by insurance. The greenhouses were threatened, but as a result of hard work on the part of volunteers they escaped with a little cracked glass and scorched woodwork. June 21 was rose day at Elizabeth, park; 20,000 people visited the rose gar- dens on that day. The interest of the public was shown by the many note- books and pencils. Almost as many vis- itors are expected June 28, when the ramblers will be at their best. Albert Brodrib has completed plant- ing out. He undoubtedly has the larg- est bedding trade in the city. Ronald Chinquin, formerly with A. N. Pierson, Inc., has joined the Brodrib force. Walter Miller has resigned his position as foreman of the retail department of A. N. Pierson, Inc., to accept the posi- tion of head gardener on the estate of Dr. Williams, of Prospect street. The Connecticut Horticultural So- ciety held its regular meeting June 26. It was perennial night. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, has carnation planting well under way. This has been a banner year for shipments of young stock; express cars loaded en- tirely with young stock left Cromwell daily during the height of the shipping season. Building operations were de- layed by the lateness of spring, but are now well under way. The dimensions of the new range have increased; the rose houses will be five 33x500, one 50x500, and on
