MARCH 31, 1898. 



WATERING PLANTS IN JADOO. 



We hear of some failures of plants in 

 Jadoo from overwateriug. It should 

 be borne in mind that the Jadoo is 

 more retentive of moisture than soil, 

 and this characteristic should not be 

 overloolied in watering. 



A LOST LETTER. 

 Will the party in Terre Haute, Ind.. 

 who answered the adv. of Boston 

 please write again, as his first letter 

 was accidentally lost. Address Boston, 

 care Florists' Review. 



NORTH CAMBRIDGE, MASS.— Wm. 

 A. Bock has a remarkably fine lot of 

 Easter lilies, the finest around Boston. 

 They are from Japanese bulbs and are 

 perfectly healthy. His spiraeas, hy- 

 drange.ns and other plants are also 

 looking well. 



HARTFORD, CONN.— The premium 

 list of the Connecticut Horticultural 

 Society for 189S has been issued, and 

 copies may be had on application to 

 the secretary, Mr. C. M. Rodgers, Bea- 

 con street, this city. The society will 

 hold exhibitions in June, July, Septem- 

 ber and November. 



BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — Mrs. H. A. 

 Lindsay has purchased a conveniently 

 located tract of land containing seven 

 acres, upon which will be erected a 

 new range of greenhouses, covering 

 about 12,000 square feet, all to be of 

 modern, up-to-date construction. The 

 old place has become much too small 

 for her growing trade. During the 

 coming year Mrs. Lindsay will cele- 

 brate her tenth anniversary as a florist 

 and will suitably commemorate the 

 day. The Birmingham News of March 

 14 prints an extended and very eulo- 

 gistic description of her establishment 

 and ability as a florist.
