Club Field Day. 



The field day of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club at the estate of General 

 S. M. Weld, at Dedham, May 15, was a 

 great success, there being an attendance 

 of more than 100. The special feature 

 here at present is the rock garden, un- 

 questionably one of the finest of its 

 kind in America. A rocky stream, open- 

 ing out here and there into pools and 

 spanned by rustic bridges, well pro- 

 tected and adequately shaded by trees, 

 makes an ideal spot for the culture of 

 great numbers of rock and alpine plants, 

 and at the present time the showing of 

 aubrietias, alyssums, primulas, violas, 

 arabis, gentianas, silenes and a host of 

 other beautiful spring plants, all taste- 

 fully planted, is most attractive. 



There are other features of interest 

 here, such as splendid specimen rhodo- 

 dendrons and standard wistarias, and 

 many fine outdoor specimens of trees, 

 shrubs and bulbous plants. A lunch 

 was served by General and Mrs. Weld 

 and short speeches were made, thank- 

 ing them for their hospitality and the 

 pleasure and profit derived from an in- 

 spection of their estate, which Thomas 

 Coles, the superintendent, has in splen- 

 did shape. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, May 16, the day follow- 

 ing the club's field day at the estate of 

 General S. M. Weld, at Dedham, was 

 well attended, there being about 100 

 present. A report was made of the 

 field day and Thomas Coles, gardener 

 to General Weld, was given a vote of 

 thanks, as well as a cultural report of 

 superior merit for his work in creating 

 what is undoubtedly the finest rock gar- 

 den in the country. As scheduled, Mr. 

 Coles gave a splendid practical lecture 

 on rock gardening, which was followed 

 by a lengthy, animated discussion. The 

 interest in the subject of the evening 

 was unusually keen. 



The exhibits included Statice Suwo- 

 rowi and Begonia knowsleyana, by 

 Thomas Coles, who was given a report 

 of merit for each. Eobert Cameron, of 

 Cambridge, received a report of merit 

 for an exhibit of Fritillaria rubra 

 maxima. W. N. Craig had a collection 

 of hardy primulas and aubrietias. 



The club voted a message of good 

 cheer sent to Jackson Dawson, who is 

 seriously ill. Three new names were 

 added to the roster. 



Various Notes. 



Mothers' day brought a larger de- 

 mand for flowers in Boston than in pre- 

 rious years, but it was noted that few
