BOSTON. 



Bids will close next week for con- 

 structing a greenhouse at Franklin 

 Park, for the Park and Recreation De- 

 partment. It is estimated that the 

 building will cost about $60,000. Plans 

 are by Haven & Hoyt, New York and 

 Chicago, as well as Hoston contractors 

 are among the bidders for the work. 



Martin E. Tuohy, the So. Boston 

 florist, has the deep sympathy of a 

 wide circle of friends in the loss of his 

 wife, Mrs. Alice B. Tuohy. 



The florist store which has been 

 conducted for some months in the 

 Little Building under the name of 

 Hamlin, Florist, but really controlled 

 by H. H. Rogers, has been closed and 

 probably will not be reopened. Mr. 

 Rogers has made an assignment for 

 the benefit of his creditors and it Is 

 understood will go into some other 

 line of work. This store was fitted 

 up elaborately but business did not 

 come along fast enough to warrant its 

 operation. 



The business of William H. Elliott, 

 of Brighton, Mass., has been incor- 

 porated under the name of W. H. Elli- 

 ott & Sons Co. The officers are as fol- 

 lows: President, George T. Elliott; 

 secretary, John F. Elliott, and treas- 

 urer, W. H. Elliott, Jr. These ofl5cers 

 and Marjorie K. Elliott and A. R. Hut- 

 son form the board of directors. The 

 capitalization is for $300,000. 



At the next meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' & Florists' Club, at Horticultural 

 Hall, April 20, the speaker will be 

 secretary W. N. Craig and his subject 

 will be "Some Seasonable Thoughts 

 and Suggestions." 



The new greenhouses to be erected 

 by the Lord & Burnham Co., for L. D. 

 Towle, at Newton, will include a large 

 palm house and three wings, each a 

 hundred feet long. Much of the space 

 will be given to orchids. Mr. Towle 

 has a fine collection of these plants, 

 and his interest has been stimulated 

 more than ever by the big Boston show. 



The meeting of the Boston Flor- 

 ists' Association scheduled for Tuesday 

 evening, April 6th, has been postponed 

 until April 13th. 



Petros. the Huntington avenue flor- 

 ist, has given up his business. It is 

 understood that he expects to return 

 to Greece. 



The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 has prepared a new industrial film en- 

 titled "Wonderland under Glass." It 

 was recently shown to the florists in 

 Chicago, and doubtless will be used by 

 the trade in other cities. A lecture 

 is given at the same time to explain 

 the pictures.
