and Miss Cornelia Warren. Vegetable 

 premiums were divided between Hill- 

 crest Farm and Faulkner Farm. 



Owing to peonies having been ad- 

 vanced so rapidly by the heat wave, 

 the show of these scheduled for June 

 21 will be held June 14. The show of 

 roses, strawberries, herbaceous plants, 

 etc., will be held June 21 and 22. 



Various Notes. 



Prof. J. G. Jack, of the Arnold ar- 

 boretum, had an interesting field day 

 at that institution June 7. The rhodo- 

 dendron display at the base of Hemlock 

 hill attracted a good crowd. In spite 

 of the severe heat wave, the plants 

 carried a wealth of excellent trusses. 

 The mountain laurel display was also 

 found to be almost at its height and 

 made a most beautiful picture. 



William P. Rich, secretary of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, is 

 able to resume his duties again after a 

 hospital operation for abscesses. 



Galvin's had a heavy Memorial day 

 business, and have a large number of 

 weddings booked for the present month. 



Among visitors last week was George 

 C. Thomson, of Northrup, King & -Co., 

 Minneapolis. Mr, Thomson's many 

 friends were glad to see him and to 

 learn of his success in the northwest. 

 For some years he was manager at the 

 seed store of R. & J. Farquhar & Co. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. is moving 

 quantities of roses, while they are 

 abundant, in boxes of twenty-five. They 

 had a splendid Memorial day business. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 will celebrate ladies' night at its next 

 meeting, June 18. An excellent pro- 

 gram has been prepared. Admission to 

 the regular meeting is free, but there 

 will be a charge for refreshments. The 

 annual picnic will be July 24 at popular 

 Cunningham park. 



William Anderson, of South Lancas- 

 ter, chairman of the plant and flower 

 committee of the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society, who has been under- 

 going a course of treatment for a fort- 

 night in the Brooks hospital, Brook- 

 line, was able to leave for home this 

 week. His many friends sincerely hope 

 he may soon completely recover. 



Prospects for June business are en- 

 couraging, although the terrific heat at 

 the commencement of the month gave 

 trade a temporary black eye. A good 

 crop of weddings is coming off, and 

 colleges and schools are going to use 

 flowers for graduations and class days 

 much more freely than for two or three 

 years past. 



At Penn's, business this week is good. 

 They have five important weddings, 

 and funeral work shows but little dimi- 

 nution. 



The orchids and other plants on the 

 estate of Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Brook- 

 line, are being disposed of and some 

 of the greenhouses are already torn 

 down. William Thatcher has had charge 

 here for many years and his fine dis- 

 plays will be much missed. 



Tlie Boston Herald of June 8 con- 

 tained an interesting illustrated article 

 on the Lowthorpe School of Horticul- 

 ture, at Groton, Mass., one of the two 

 schools in the United States which edu- 

 cate girls in horticulture. At Low- 

 thorpe, landscape gardening, green- 

 house work, and flower, vegetable and 

 fruit culture are taught, and the school 

 has proved most successful.

Eed Wing, Minn. — John E. Sten, who 

 has a fine establishment here, Las a 

 record probably unique among the 

 florists of the northwest in that a few 

 months hence he will celebrate his 

 golden jubilee in the business. In half 

 a century the florists' trade nas gone 

 through great changes, all to the good, 

 Mr. Sten says, but he is beginning to 

 think of retiring.
