Roslindale's premier grower, A. 

 Leuthy, gladly T'lts himself on record 

 with the statement that the older 

 varieties of azaleas are in danger of be 

 ing supplanted by any of the recently 

 introduced novelties. Tb.e Scliruy-veri- 

 anum, Vander Cruyssen and Madame 

 Jean still prove to be the most popu- 

 lar for the early spring trade, for Mr. 

 I.euthy has sold more of these this 

 year than ever before, and he can well 

 be quoted as authority on azaleas. 

 Owing to the late Easter. Mr. Leuthy 

 has given his lilies the minimum of 

 heat, with the result that each blos- 

 som is firm and full. He corroborates 

 the statements of Henry Penn and 

 .Julius Zinn when he claims that his 

 white azalea— the A. Leuthy — is the 

 prize package in the white line. 



Members of the Gardeners' and Flor 

 ists' Club of Boston to the number of 

 more than one htindred particijiated in 

 the annual Easter visit to the plant 

 growing establishment of W. W. Edgar 

 at Waverley, on Saturday. April 8. 

 After a pleasant and profitable stroll 

 through the plant houses, gay with 

 hydrangeas, lilies, azaleas and other 

 timely products, a social hour was 

 spent as the guests of Mrs. Edgar, who 

 extended open-hearted hospitality. 

 There was a big surprise for her, how- 

 ever, in the form of a handsome ma- 

 hogany tea wagon stocked with a 

 hand-painted afternoon tea set, and 

 also a mahogany "mussing" stand. The 

 presentation was made by President 



Methven on behalf of the visitors and 

 was appreciatively responded to by the 

 hostess. Brief addresses were made 

 by several gentlemen, including Her- 

 man Bartsch, to whose skill and in- 

 dustry as manager much of the success 

 of this establishment is due. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Commodore John Westcott has just 

 returned from his first spring visit to 

 Ills farm at Waretown. Habitues of 

 that delectable resort will be pleased 

 to learn that he reports all well — no 

 births, deaths nor marriages to speak 

 of. The derelict, McTavish, is still 

 high and dry on the rocky shore near 

 the club house. Jaunty and Charley 

 Chaplin liotli alive and on speaking 

 terms. The Ailanthus trees are all 



killed off by the winter storms, but the 

 Tamarisks are holding their own very 

 well. Spring plowing and seeding is 

 now the order of the day on the farm.
