The "McCallum" 

 Hanging Basket- 



Is not just so much wire stuck together to look like a 

 basket, but a strongly made, correctly designed re- 

 ceptacle that will give long service ; and being plain, 

 it has no projecting wires which are apt to catch hold 

 of other things through contact.

a postponed meeting April 13, when 

 there was an excellent attendance. The 

 flower salesmen presented their side in 

 vagorous fashion. 



^ The Boston Floral Supply & Snyder 

 Y^- states that its Easter"^ sales were 

 ■^C'lvy and that demand continues ex- 

 "ellcnt. This company's cut flower de- 

 I'artment has greatly increased its vol- 

 J^'-)e of sales since Julius and B. A. 

 Snyder joined the firm. 



Governor Calvin Coolidge signed the 



''■'•yhght-saving bill for Massachusetts 



M>ril 9 and we shall start under the 



"^^w dispensation April 25. The meas- 



"re passed both house and senate by 



^'ich overwhelming majorities and the 



"f'mand for it was so general that the 



■-«vcrnor had no alternative. While 



ifro was some opposition to the bill 



'■om farmers, they were by no means 



unanimous in opposing it; in fact, some 

 granges unanimously favored. This law 

 becomes permanent and is not for one 

 year, as many imagine. A repeal is 

 necessary for a return to the old basis. 



P. Welch says that he could have sold 

 many thousands more of double violets 

 for Easter, also that American Beauties 

 sold extremely well. He is much con- 

 cerned over the agitation in Canada to 

 shut oflf imports of all cut flowers from 

 the United States. With the present 

 exchange against Canada added to the 

 import duty, sales' to the Dominion are 

 an uncertain quantity. 



Kidder Bros, brought in the last 

 single violets of the season this week. 

 They are always beautifully bunched 

 and realize top-notch prices. This firm 

 still has freesias of remarkable quality. 

 Mr. Kidder states that a large crop of 



mushrooms appeared among his violets 

 and that Mrs. Kidder sold over $80 

 worth of them last season. They came 

 in the manure spontaneously, no spawn 

 being used. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 meets April 20 at Horticultural hall. 

 W. N. Craig will be the speaker and he 

 will take as his subject ''Some Season- 

 able Thoughts and Suggestions." There 

 will be a good display of spring flowers. 



Thomas F. Galvin, Jr., has moved to 

 more commodious quarters at 224 Devon- 

 shire street, where he is on the street 

 floor, with two large show windows. 



Last week the writer met two men 

 sincerely desirous of starting in business 

 on their own account, but who, after in. 

 vestigating construction and other costs, 

 decided that it would be better and more 

 profitable for them to earn a salarv a
