In its first year in the commission business has already become the most popular 

 cut ilower market in Boston. 



It is CENTRALLY LOCATED, CONVENIENT and conducted on 

 the same liberal policy which has made our fern and greens business for years the 

 largest in New England.

MR. PARSONS MISREPRESENTED. 



Comniissionei' Samuel Parsons of 

 New York parks has denounced as "a 

 tissue of falsehoods" the charges 

 which had been published in a sensa- 

 tional New York daily that in his for- 

 mer capacity as landscape architect 

 he had profited personally through the 

 sale of trees to the city at an advanced 

 price, iind that in his recommendation 

 for the expenditure of $2,500,000 on 

 park reconstruction he had been actu- 

 ated by the business that this would 

 bring to companies in which he is in- 

 terested. Mr. Parsons asserts that he 

 has no financial interest whatever in 

 Parsons' Sons & Co.'s nursery, the 

 Rare Tree and Plant Company, or the 

 Landscape Engineering and Construc- 

 tion Company, and denies that these 

 companies have ever enjoyed any ad- 

 vantages over other fii-ms in the sale 

 of trees in the park department. Gen- 

 tlemen among our acquaintances who 

 are in a position to judge correctly, 

 have expressed to us personally titeir 

 conf'dence in Mr. Parsons' integrity, 

 a)id we are willing to take Mr. Par- 

 sons' word every time as opposed to 

 the disreputable sheet that attacked 

 him. 



A CORRECTION. 



We arc advised by Messrs. Robt. 

 Scoot & Sons that our mention of 

 Killarney and Liberty as the parents 

 of rose Mrs. Jardine was incorrect. 

 The rose is a jirodiict of seedlings of 

 Messrs. Alex. Dickson & Sons, but 

 whether named seedlings or otherwise 

 we are not informed. Mrs. Jardine 

 will be on exhibition in Boston at the 

 (Chrysanthemum Show November S.
