the Camellias bloom, during February 

 and several months following, that the 

 most gorgeous show is made. One 

 house is filled with Camellias of many 

 ■years' growth, and I doubt if a more 

 complete collection can be found any- 

 where in Xew England. I hope that 

 sometime the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club of Boston will have a field day 

 at the Lyman estate. If that day 

 should come, every member should 

 make a point to be on hand. 



Those who view the heating of a 

 greenhouse with concern should re- 

 member that Canterbury Bells maUe a 

 good show in a cold house in spring. 

 They are not difficult to handle. When 

 planting out Canterbury Bells in the 

 garden in the fall the plants should 

 always be lifted with a good ball of 

 earth. This is rendered easier by 

 giving the plants a good soaking 

 some time earlier. 



Mr. J. K. Alexander, the Dahlia 

 man of East Bridgewater, Mass., re- 

 ceived much attention from the 

 Springfield newspapers as the result 

 of his exhibit at the Eastern States Ex- 

 position recently. Mr. Alexander had 

 four imported varieties and more than 

 five hundred American varieties at the 

 exposition, with 100 square feet de- 

 voted to this exhibit. It was twenty- 

 nine years ago that Mr. Alexander set 

 out a few dahlia bulbs, but today he 

 grows more than a million plants.
