A VISIT TO W/AVERLEY. 



The members and friends of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- 

 ton, to the number of sixty, enjoyed 

 their customary annual visit to the 

 W. W. Edgar Company greenhouses 

 at Waverley, .Mass., on .March 16. The 

 number participating was not as large 

 as on some former occasions but there 

 were a good many ladies in the party, 

 so they made up in quality for the 

 lack in numbers. All were well repaid 

 for the trip for tliey were hospitably 

 entertained at luncheon and they saw 

 a most beautiful display of the Easter 

 plants in the culture of which Mr. 

 Bartsch has no superior. Especially 

 handsome were the lilacs — stock wliich 

 was received from the S. S. N'ieuw 

 Am.'iterdam on February 28th and was 

 already in luxuriant bloom I Rhodo- 

 dendron Pink Pearl, Tausendschoen 

 roses and tlie finest lot of hybrid roses 

 in flower ever seen in this neighbor- 

 hood were among the other attractions. 



Brief remarks were made by Presi- 

 dent Rogers, Ex-President Methven 

 and Secretary Craig of the Florists' 

 Club, Robert Comeron and others. 



Lincoln, Va. — Among those who 

 have suffered heavy damages as a re- 

 sult of the fuel shortage is F. B. 

 Davis, who lost the contents of all his 

 greenhouses. At a critical time he 

 was unable to get fuel of any kind and 

 the loss, aggregating $3.0(10 or more 

 resulted. He has now planted early 

 vegetables in some of the houses.

 however, about the prize awards may 

 be of interest to many of our readers.
