W. Dunlop attracted much attention 

 last week. Business has been good of 

 late and everything points to a bumper 

 Easter business. 



The W. W. Edgar Co. has 10,000 pots 

 of lilies in the pink of condition for 

 Easter, also a splendid lot of roses, 

 hydrangeas, bulbous flowers and ge- 

 nistas. Darwin tulips are particularly 

 well done here. 



F. E. Palmer, of Brookline, has the 

 finest lot of French hydrangeas I have 

 seen this season. He also has an ex- 

 cellent batch of herbaceous calceolarias 

 in bloom. 



The Boston Florists' Association will 

 hold its next meeting at the Parker 

 House April 6. Professor De Chant will 

 speak on "Cooperation." 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club will be held April 

 20. W. N. Craig will speak on "Some 

 Seasonable Thoughts and Suggestions." 



Two big consignments of palms to be 

 used in the local churches for Palm 

 Sunday were held up by a longshore- 

 men's strike and it looked at one time 

 as if they would not be available. Fi- 

 nally, however, the strikers reluctantly 

 agreed to move these Easter supplies 

 and all churches had an ample supply. 



Professor Charles S. Sargent, director 

 of the Arnold Arboretum, threw open 

 his private greenhouses to the public 

 March 18, to allow an opportunity to 

 see the new Kurume Japanese azaleas 

 for the first time in bloom. There were 

 130 plants in full flower. The exhibi- 

 tion remained opened until Monday, 

 March 22, when the plants were taken 

 to the flower show. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. has received 

 the contract for a fine range of green- 

 houses for the private estate of L. D. 

 Towle, Newton. The main range will 

 be 200 feet long, with a palm house in 

 the center; there will be three wings, 

 each 100 feet long. Considerable space 

 will be devoted to choice orchids, on 

 which Mr. Towle is a specialist. 



Seed stores have had a busy time of 

 late. During the last week the flower 

 show drew crowds of visiting florists 

 Rnd gardeners and they brought a big 

 volume of business. Local nurseries are 

 .iust starting to dig trees and shrubs. 

 The late beginning will make the ship- 

 ping season a comparatively brief one.

IT is seldom that we receive a com- 

 plaint about Brague's Cut Ferns- 



Our customers know that we try to 

 give them the best stock obtainable. 



They know we are not simply look- 

 ing for the money we may receive, 

 but that we are trying to co-operate 

 with them so that the ultimate con- 

 sumer will be satisfied. 



We sell cut ferns, but we sell some- 

 thing else that cannot be purchased 

 from any other dealer. 



It is the soul of our business. 



It is the personality back of every 

 order sent out by the house of
