GARDENERS' & FLORISTS' CLUB

 the executive Committee. 



After the business of the meeting 

 had been transacted Mr. George 

 I'Anson, head orchid grower for A. C. 

 Burrage at Beverly Farms gave a lec- 

 ture on orchids illustrated by many 

 rare slides. Mr. I'Anson also exhibited 

 a large number of remarkable photo-

 America if not in the world. 



The display of flowers and plants 

 was excellent, and included several re- 

 markable begonias. Among them Op- 

 tima and Melior contributed by Peter 

 Arnott. Janiten & Kunam sent in one 

 of the finest Cleveland Cherries ever 

 seen in the hall. Samuel Goddard had 

 a new late pompon chrysanthemum 

 Sunshine which is one of the best of 

 the class. Few yellows look so well 

 by artificial light.

Louis Dupuy of Whitestone, Long 

 Island, one of New York's crack- 

 erjack plant growers, was a caller In

 plant growers, being particularly im- 

 pressed with the high quality of stock 

 grown around Waltham and Waverly. 

 It is reported that he bought heavily 

 from these growers for shipment to 

 New York. 



On the occasion of Billy Bartlett's 

 62nd birthday, the boys in the market 

 surprised him with gifts, of many 

 kinds, including a cap, sweater, ties, 

 gloves, a pipe and a supply of tobacco.

 among visitors to the market last 

 week.
