best about May 24. Practically every 

 variety of lilac procurable, inchuling all 

 the latest European novelties, are to be 

 seen here. In aiWition tn the lilacs a

 the Harvard Botanic Gardens. Three 

 large ones have also been forwarded to

The annual rhododendron show of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Socielv 

 scheduled for June 4 and -5, will probablv 

 have to be postponed a week, owing to 

 the lateness of the season. The show of 

 rhododendrons is likely to be a small one, 

 as many plants are killed and practicallv 

 all flower buds, except where heavily pro- 

 tected. Many azaleas are also killed ami 

 flower buds generally destroyed. Classes 

 97. 98 and 99 in the schedule of the so- 

 ciety were by an error not properly classi- 

 fied. They are for hardy azaleas. 



Henry J. Elwes, the noted English 

 hardy plant and bulb authority, has been 

 visiting friends in Boston. 



Carnation men have had ideal weather 

 for transferring their stock to the fields. 

 Last May we had no rain, but at pres- 

 ent we are having good rains, which in- 

 sures a good start to all newly planted 

 carnations. W. N. Craig.
