VISIT TO WAVERLEY, MASS. 



The aiiiuml Easier invitation to Iho 

 Gardeners" and Florists' Club mem- 

 bers to visit Iho plant houses of the 

 W. W. Edgar Company at Waverley, 

 Maes., on Saturday, March 20, was re- 

 sponded to by a record crowd. They 

 found plenty in attraction and inter- 

 est to repay them well for the trip. 

 Mrs. KdRar and Mr. Bartsch were in- 

 defatigable in thoir liind attention 

 and hospitality and after the luncheon 

 which followed the inspection of the 

 houses, the gratitride of the visitors 

 was voiced by a number of speakers 

 and emphatically endorsed by cheers 

 of appreciation. 



As our readers are aware, this is 

 one of the headquarters for high-class 

 plants in the Boston section. Tliis 

 year we see fewer Acacia arniata, met- 

 rosideros and big genistas than in 

 former years but more azaleas, French 

 hydrangeas and "Baby Rambler" roses 

 — the last named now far out number- 

 ing the older strong-growing Ramblers. 

 The roses most abundantly grown are 

 Mrs. Cutbush, Orleans. Rubin, Jessie, 

 Tausendschoen and Excelsa. A house 

 of 4-inch geraniums in full bloom will 

 be a welcome addition to the Easter 

 list. We have never seen a better lot 

 of lilies than here. They are mostly 

 giganteums and although not potted 

 until December 14, are just right for 

 Easter trade. Hydrangeas for May sales 

 and lilies for Decoration Day are 

 eagerly awaiting accommodation on 

 the benches as soon as vacated. There 

 are 7,000 young cyclamen, but no 

 large ones, as it is the rule here to 

 dispose of all the cyclamen at Christ- 

 mas. 



King of Prussia, Pa. — J. W. Thomas 

 & Sons, nurserjTnen, suffered serious- 

 ly from fire on March 20. "Grand- 

 father, the barn is on fire!" Two grand- 

 children, one 3 and the other 5, ran to 

 Mr. Thomas, at his home on County 

 Line road with this announcement, and 

 in 10 minutes the structure, one of the 

 largest in the region, was a flaming 

 mass, doomed to ruin. The loss was 

 estimated between $10,000 and $20,000. 

 A horse was burned to death and a 

 horse and a mule were badly burned.
