BOSTON. 



N. F. McCarthy is down in Maine, 

 getting primed up for the fall cam- 

 paign. ■ 



Daniel J. Sullivan is now at Camp 

 Lee, Petersbury, Virginia, in the office 

 of the quartermaster, from where he 

 expects to proceed to France in the 

 near future. 



In a letter just received by Prof. 

 Sargent, E. H. Wilson, who is now in 

 Korea, says he has discovered there 

 two remarkably fine lilacs, which 

 should prove splendid additions to 

 the species now being grown in the 

 Arnold Arboretum grounds. One of 

 these he writes, is the most fragrant 

 of any with which he is familiar, and 

 for that reason should be taken up 

 with enthusiasm by garden-makers in 

 this country. Mr. Wilson will doubt- 

 less bring home seeds which will be 

 planted in the Arboretum trial ground, 

 and which should produce flowering 

 plants by the end of the fifth year. 

 There is every reason to believe that 

 these new lilacs will thrive in New 



England, and if they do it is likely 

 that they will be put into the hands 

 of nurserymen and spread abroad. 

 The Arboretum has already given 

 many fine plants to American gardens, 

 not a few of which have been intro- 

 duced by Mr. Wilson. 



Officials of state, county, city or 

 town who announced that preparations 

 had been made for the summary pun- 

 ishment of garden marauders this 

 year evidently didn't have Natick in 

 mind. Many farmers in that town 

 have been the victims of plant pilfer- 

 ers. The employes of the Waban 

 Rose Conservatories have been the 

 victims of the thieves, also. Manager 

 Montgomery had a large tract of land 

 ploughed, fertilized and prepared for 

 gardening this spring, and the em- 

 ployes were given all the space they 

 wished for planting, together with the 

 use of the conservatory tools and 

 horses. The men planted a quantity 

 of potatoes, and now that these have 

 reached the harvesting stage, garden 

 thieves are making nightly visits and 

 digging the potatoes themselves.

August 10th we got a glimpse of 

 John Burton in Philadelphia — and tO' 

 his friends it looked like greeting a 

 long-lost brother — as this was his first 

 appearance since he went to the hos- 

 pital, June 22nd, nearly seven weeks 

 ago.

This is an Unusual Year! 



Expensive Flowers are selling better than cheap ones. The poorer people are 

 not buying flowers. Your trade this year will come from the wealthier class and you 

 must use more boxes than ever before. 



Did you ever sell American Beauties, Orchids or Mrs. Russell Roses and deliver 

 them wrapped in a paper ? Of course not ! You used the best box you had and 

 wished you had a better one.
