nearly double. Window decorations of 

 mums, crotons and oak leaves are effec- 

 tive. 



The Waban Eose Conservatories, in 

 addition to splendid shipments of Bus- 

 sell, Hadley, Stanley and Ophelia roses, 

 are cutting the finest single-stem mums 

 coming into the Boston market. 



Galvin's had some handsome floral 

 designs for the funeral November 2 at 

 Brookline of A. Paul Keith, head of the 

 Keith chain of theaters. In the window 

 decorations cattleyas, oncidiums and 

 chrysanthemums are principally used. 



The extreme heat the closing days of 

 October raised havoc with violets. Kid- 

 der Bros., specialists in these flowers, 

 had 2,500 of their flowers ruined one 

 day and there were others in the same 

 predicament. 



The autumn tints on trees and shrubs 

 have been superb this season, thanks to 

 the clear skies we have had. There 

 have been extra large attendances on 

 recent Saturdays at the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, where Professor J. G. Jack has con- 

 ducted the interested visitors and has 

 pointed out the numerous highly-colored 

 plants in this famous collection. 



Eecent letters from Stanley W. Hall, 

 one of which was published in last 

 week's Eeview, state that he has re- 

 covered from the machine gun bullet 

 wound in his leg and is back on the fir- 

 ing line. 



The many friends here of Superin- 

 tendent F. C. Green, of Roger Williams 

 park, Providence, are glad to learn that 

 now he is at home convalescing from a 

 recent serious operation. 



The Boston Cooperative Market 

 elected these directors at its annual 

 meeting October 26: W. E. Holden, 

 J. M. Cohen, Eobert Montgomery, J. A. 

 Simpson, D. Carmichael, Elijah Cart- 

 wright, Norris F. Comley, William H. 

 Elliott and John McFarland. Mr. Car- 

 michael was reelected treasurer and Mr. 

 McFarland secretary. Messrs. Cohen 

 and Holden are the new members of 

 the board. 



Wheeler & Co., of Waban, are cutting 

 a splendid crop of Cattleya labiata. 

 They also have a fine lot of Dendrobium 

 formosum giganteum coming in. 



William R. Morris, of Wellesley, is 

 passing cigars. It is a boy this time 

 and the mother and William E., Jr., are 

 doing nicely. 



C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is 

 sending in an average of 3,000 carna- 

 tions daily, about half of which are 

 Matehless. 



J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton, 

 are this season having excellent pansies, 

 in addition to their staple crop. wl|ich 

 is carnations. > 



Bulb specialists are busy boxing up 

 and potting their shipments, which have 

 arrived in good condition, considering 

 the length of time they have been en 

 route. At the seed stores stocks are 

 cleaning out rapidly. 



William Anderson, superintendent of 

 the Bayard Thayer estate. South Lan- 

 caster, has been more fortunate than 

 many of his fellow craftsmen on the 

 labor question, having had for some 

 time a number of German prisoners 

 from Camp Devens, men taken from the 

 interned German liners. These men are 

 in charge of armed guards and have 

 been employed largely of late in assist- 

 ing nearby gardeners and fruit grow- 

 ers in securing their crops. W. N. C.
