 James Stuart gave an interesting descrip- 

 tion of the Boston flower show, cotnparinij 

 some of the exhibits with those shown at 

 the New York International Exhibition. 

 Mr. Stuart and Mr. Morrow were congrat- 

 ulated on the fine e.xhibits they made at 

 the New York exhibition. The labor ques- 

 tion came up for considerable discussion. 

 It is humiliating to find that Italian and 

 Polisli laborers are receiving higher wages 

 than the professional gardener. On the mo- 

 tion of Mr. Seeley the question of holding 

 a Summer flower show was left over until 

 our ne.xt meeting on May 14. Prizes from 

 the John H. Troy and A. N. Pierson fund 

 will be awarded for exhibits, and a general 

 discussion will be brought up on matters 

 concerning the gardening profession. Mr. 

 Whitton and his committee received a 

 hearty vote of thanks for the concert and 

 dance held at Greenwich March 23.

Modern Houses of the Better Type 



Just look at one of these modern hou.'^es and you will 

 "be surprised at the attention given every detail of con- 

 struction. 



You will find for instance that the framing members 

 are very strong yet so constructed that they cast very 

 little shade. That's why Kings have the reputation of 

 being such splendid growing houses. 

 Write us for the name of some gar- 

 deners near you who have King 

 houses. Ask them or go and see the 

 house. That will tell you the entire 

 story.
