BOSTON. 



The flower market shows a decided 

 improvement, which means that both 

 growers and dealers are in better 

 spirits. Peonies from native sources 

 have been good the past week and have 

 sold well. Easter lilies are in demand 

 but scarce. Only a few callas are left. 

 White peas and what might be called 

 peas of the wedding pink shade have 

 been selling well. Some spirea is com- 

 ing and looks well, but the supply is 

 short. 



BOSTON HORTICULTURAL CLUB. 

 The members of the Boston Horticul- 

 tural Club had a field day at Farqu- 

 har's Nurseries at West Barnstable 

 last week. The trip was made over 

 the road by automobile and was par- 

 ticipated in by 22 gentlemen, including 

 Mr. P. R. Pierson of Tarrytown. A 

 lunch was enjoyed at Sagamore on the 

 way to the cape. When the nurseries 

 were reached, several hours were spent 

 in going over the grounds, which were 

 found to be very extensive and filled 

 with growing plants in splendid condi- 

 tion. Among the chief items of inter- 



est were the rhododendron fields, in 

 which tens of thousands of plants were 

 growing. These rhododendrons are 

 given no winter protection but thrive 

 amazingly. Many of them have been 

 raised from seed. The azalea fields 

 also excited much interest. The fine 

 growth of this class of plants on the 

 cape was remarked upon by all pres- 

 ent. Much pleasure was found in in- 

 specting the conifers, in which the firm 

 of Parquhar specializes. Acres of them 

 were seen, including fine new Chinese 

 firs and spruces, and the Japanese 

 taxus. Particular attention was given 

 the extensive lily fields. It is an in- 

 teresting fact that Lilium auratum 

 grows better in the Parquhar nurser- 

 ies on the Cape than in Japan itself. 

 The fields given over to the Regal lily 

 looked very fine. After leaving the 

 nurseries a shore dinner was enjoyed, 

 and the party reached Boston at a late 

 hour in the evening. 



NASSAU COUNTY ROSE SHOW. 



At the Annual Rose Show of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 there was an excellent display of flow- 

 ers, fruit and vegetables, which re- 

 sulted in keen competition in all the 

 thirty classes. Seven splendidly ar- 

 ranged tables were in competition, 

 Robert Jones, gardener to Percy 

 Chubb, was awarded 1st; Angus B. Mc- 

 Gregor, gardener to J. P. Morgan, 2nd; 

 Wm. Milstead, gardener to A. C. Bed- 

 ford, 3rd; Thos. Henderson gardener 

 to P. S. Smithers, 4th. 



The judges were Messrs. Alex Mo 

 Kenzie, William G. Carter and Thos. J. 

 Meech. 



Ernest Westlake tendered his resig- 

 nation as Secretary, of this society. 

 Mr. Westlake has been Secretary for 

 over six years and during that time 

 has proven himself a faithful work- 

 man and member of the craft. It was 

 with exceeding regret that his resig- 

 nation was accepted. 



Our next meeting will be known as 

 "Sweet Pea Night" and will be held 

 on Wednesday, July 9th at 7 o'clock. 

 Competition, 25 sprays of Sweet Peas, 

 white, 25 pink and 25 any other color.

PLANNING FOR THE FLORISTS' 

 FIELD DAY. 



Elijah S. Gorney, recently elected 

 secretary of the Forists' Association of 

 Boston, sees visions of a wonderful time 

 at Wardhurst. Lynnfield. July 12, when 

 the florists of Boston are to take off 

 their hats and coats and be boys again. 

 The odds are easy at 2 to 1 that Henry 

 Robinson will win the fat man's race, 

 hands down, and "Billy" Stickel is 

 picked as winner of the potato race if 

 he can forget his dignity long enough 

 to get right into the running. 



Peter Fisher, originator of the cele- 

 brated Lawson pink, may be counted 

 upon as one of the "bonnie laddies" in 

 the sack race, and talk is, the winner 

 of this event is to have his sack filled 

 with potatoes grown by the loser, with 

 Fred Palmer of Brookline, counted up- 

 on as being the contestant to "do the 

 filling."— Boston Traveler. 



OBITUARY. 



John Franzini. 



John Franzini, for about fifteen 

 years the leading figure in the flower 

 store of Ribram & Sons, Trenton, N. J., 

 passed away Sunday night, June 22nd, 

 from cancer of the stomach. He was 

 38 years of age and married. Recently 

 he had been proposed as a member of 

 the Philadelphia Florists Club but his 

 election had not yet come up. His 

 widow survives and the trade extends 

 to her their deepest sympathy.
