OILING THE MACHINERY. 



The members of the working com- 

 mittees, judges and press representa- 

 tives of the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society were entertained by 

 President R. M. Saltonstall at luncheon 

 at the Hotel Somerset on Friday, 

 March 23. There was a very earnest 

 interchange of views as to what course 

 should be pursued to increase the 

 public value of the exhibitions and 

 maintain for the society that prestige 

 which it has hitherto held as an active 

 force in the advancement of Horticul- 

 ture in America. President Saltonstall 

 emphasized strongly the necessity for 

 all interests to pull together and the 

 splendid results that can be accom- 

 plished by thorough organization and 

 business methods. The remarks that 

 followed. l)y James Wheeler, manager 

 of the spring exhibition: Ex-President 

 J. K. M. L. Farquhar: Cliester I. Camp- 

 bell, publicity promoter; President Jas. 

 Methven, of the Gardeners' and Flor- 



ists' Club; C. S. Strout, vice-president 

 of the American Carnation Society; 

 Henry Penn, of the local retail florists' 

 organization and W. N. Craig, secre- 

 tary of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, were all enthusiastic and ringing 

 with assurance of a great concerted 

 movement, the purposes of which is to 

 pull all together and hustle for Bos- 

 ton's flower show supremacy. The out- 

 door show to take place next June, the 

 Ter-centennial of the Landing of the 

 Pilgrims now near at hand and the 

 Centennial of the organization of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 soon to follow were mentioned as oc- 

 casions for which preparedness is now 

 in order. The atmosphere of the meet- 

 ing was decidedly stimulating and th« 

 sentiments expressed were full of vim. 

 Boston proposes to hold her place on 

 the horticultural map. 



PHILADELPHIA ROSE FESTIVAL. 



The Robert Craig Co. made a good 

 showing of their new fern, Nephrolepis 

 "Norwood." 



Wm. K. Harris had an excellent dis- 

 play of Easter plants in variety cov- 

 ering some 200 square feet. 



Wm. Kleinheinz added a touch of 

 variety to the exhibition with his col- 

 lection of specimen acacias, ericas, 

 and other ornamental flowering plants. 



By special request the rose show 

 was kept open on Saturday, making 

 five days instead of the four planned 

 originally. All the exhibits were kept 

 freshened up every day so that a cred- 

 itable display greeted visitors to the 

 last. 



At the windup when the exhibits 

 were being removed some skunk florist 

 stole three plants of Dreer's wonder- 

 derful new hybrid tea "Golden Em- 

 blem," one of the features of the show.
