NEW BEDFORD HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The memliers of this society at their 

 meeting on Monday evening were 

 treated to a very interesting address 

 by Wn'. N. Craig, of North Easton, 

 on i)erennials. Mr. Craig considered 

 that the herbaceous border gave more 

 satisfaciinn than did the carpet beds 

 of thirty years a.ao. Among a choice 

 list of plants and bulbs recommended 

 were Anemone japonica, digitalis, 

 aquilegia, clematis recta, lupins of 

 various colors, delphiniums. the 

 Chinese varieties of which may be 

 town in June and will bloom the same 

 year, and phloxes. He spoke highly 

 of the useful character of Darwin tu- 

 lips for Memorial Day and of their 

 freedom from disease. Also of the 

 German iris and narcissi. The Shas- 

 ta daisy is valuable if properly and 

 persistently culled. The broad pelaled 

 Lilium canndense excels in beauty and 

 utility; if used for outdoor planting it 

 should be planted one foot deep and 

 it use-i. fni- forcin.g should be weli 

 frozen befo-'e being placed inside. 



Mr. Craig received a rising vote of 

 thanks.
