The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Janlaky •ii), 1898. 



NORTHAMPTON, MASS. 



The annual meeting of the Northamp- 

 ton Horticultural Society was held on 

 January lo. All officers were elected 

 with the exception of secretary and treas- 

 urer, those to be elected at the next meet- 

 ing. April 5 and 6 were selected for the 

 spring exhibition, November lo and ii 

 for the clir_vsanthenium exhibition. A 

 committee was appointed to revise the 

 premium list. Mr. Parks had a nice ex- 

 hibit of ver)- good Daybreak carnations, 

 California violets and paper white nar- 

 cissus. Mr. Macgregor showed some 

 seedling carnations. 



Trade since the holidavs has been on 

 the average rather dull, but carnations 

 that have good flower and stems sell 

 readily. The same may be said of flower- 

 ing plants. 



A visit to Mr. Parks shows that he is 

 all right on carnations, especially Day- 

 break, Scott, Jubilee and McGowa'n. His 

 cyclamens, primroses, cinerarias, palms 

 and ferns all show the careful attention 

 they have had.

FALL RIVER, MASS. 



Cliatt. Warburton reports a "bang-up" 

 holiday business, but fears a slump will 

 now happen owing to the cut-down in 

 the mills. Still he is pushing ahead op- 

 timistically. He has an excellent idea in 

 running one house of .-Vlaska disbudded 

 for cutting and another not disbudded 

 for piece work. Freedom is also an ex- 

 cellent variety with him. Flora Hill and 

 Edith Foster are the quartette of whites. 

 C. A. Dana is a splendid keeper and of 

 good color, takes well and will be grown 

 more extensively next season. Quite a 

 number of the pretty Bermuda oxalis is 

 grown; it sells freely. Mr. Warburton, 

 Sr., was in Jamaica recently and is re- 

 turning by way of the southern states. 

 He is deeply interested in the culture of 

 cotton and incidently that of bulbs. 



George Smith is the proud owner of 

 the first daffodils in town. They are in 

 good demand. He cleaned right out at 

 Christmas of a big stock, both plants and 

 flowers. W. M.
