Heights, at one time editor of Suburban 

 Life, when it was published in Boston, 

 succeeds the late William J. Stewart 

 as editor of Horticulture. 



A. P. Peterson, of Saxonville, has a 

 nice cut of Gypsojhiia elegans, sweet 

 peas and callas. His carnations are good 

 this season, especially Alice, Roper, 

 Matchless, Benora and Beacon. 



William E. Nicholson is cutting 

 heavily of gypsophila, of which he is 

 the local king, and marguerites. His 

 carnations are in heavy crop and he has 

 fine gladioli. For Memorial day he will 

 have a heavy cut of ten weeks' stocks 

 and double feverfew. 



A meeting of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club will be held May 20. The 

 special attraction will be F. E. Palmer's 

 talk on "Accounting for Florists." 

 Coming from a successful, practical 

 grower and retailer, and one who is a 

 ready speaker, this talk is sure to con- 

 tain many valuable points. There will 

 be other business of importance and in- 

 teresting exhibits. 



There will be a prize exhibition at 

 Horticultural hall May 17 and 18 of Dar- 

 win tulips, narcissi, pansies, lilacs and 

 other flowering shrubs, wild flowers and 

 vegetables. 



John A. Nelson, of Framingham, has 

 a heavy cut of handsome white, yellow, 

 pink and red stocks. His carnations 

 were in excellent crop for Mothers' day. 

 Especially fine were Ward, Pink Delight, 

 Matchless, Benora and Beacon. 



Everything at this time points to a 

 tremendous Memorial day demand for 

 flowers and a supply considerably below 

 normal. A number of houses which were 

 vacant last winter are now planted with 

 such crops as sweet peas, candytuft,

feverfew and stocks, but the supply 

 will be inadequate. At this time it is 

 uncertain how outdoor supplies will be, 

 but, if such weather as we now have 

 continues, plenty of lilac, deutzia, Ger- 

 man iris, etc., should be available. 

 In the Arnold Arboretum some of the 



rhododendrons and azaleas are now in 

 good bloom. The malus display is at its 

 height and many interesting shrubs are 

 flowering. The white, sweet-scented, 

 bouvardia-like Viburnum Carlesii is 

 worthy of special note.
