Various Notes. 



The death of Nathan S. Wax is re- 

 corded in the obituary column of this 

 issue. 



The Boston Evening Transcript of 

 February 12 contained an article sev- 

 eral columns in length entitled "A Gov- 

 ernment Frost for Our Flower Gar- 

 dens," written by E. I. Farrington, 

 which strongly condemned Quarantine 

 No. 37. The Transcript is Boston's 

 leading evening paper and goes into 

 the homes of all the best buyers of 

 plants and flowers. Such articles are 

 bound to accomplish much good.
