An electric storm on .\pril 26 

 wrought much havoc in the small towns 

 around Boston. The terrific high 

 wind twisted the heating plant at the 

 greenhouse of Thos. Capers, Wellesley 

 Hills, into a mass of brick and iron. 

 The gale blew with such force that a 

 300-foot greenhouse collapsed, causing 

 damage estimated at $5,000.

The retail florists' club, to which 

 only those engaged in a strictly retail 

 business in this city are eligible to 

 meniliership, has been put on a firm 

 basis, according to Walla<e W. Kim- 

 mel, who was elected as temporary 

 chairman at the meeting of the mem- 

 bers held last week at the Hotel Hud- 

 son, where ways and means were dm 

 cussed for eliminating the street ven- 

 dors. This type of competition was 

 condemned and it is said that it was 

 for the purpose of killing it that the 

 club was formed. Department store 



sales of flowers and bulbs was also 

 disapproved of. Refreshments were 

 served dnrin.t; the meeting. Other tem- 

 porary officers selected were .Mr. 

 .Marche, treasurer, and Mr. Leapley, 

 secretary. 



The dealers here are very much 

 disappointed in the continued dry 

 weather, which prevents them from 

 carrying on the large outdoor garden- 

 ing projects, which usually fall to 

 them at this time of the year. In 

 speaking of this condition "Wally" 

 Kinimel states that it is far too dry 

 for such work and that considerable 

 work has had to he abaiuioned. April 

 is usually a rainy montli, but this 

 year has proved an exception to the 

 rule. A northwest wind has prevailed 

 for the past five or six weeks and the 

 earth balls which protect the roots of 

 the large evergreens rhododendrons, 

 azaleas and other plants, are so dry 

 that they crumble while in transit, 

 making impossible a satisfactory job 

 of planting.
