William Sim, F, A. Wilson, President E. 

 H. Wilson and J. K. M. L. Farquhar. 

 A special committee was appointed to 

 consider the desirability of having a 

 special dinner during the week of the 

 Boston flower show. 



Various Notes. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, through its board of directors, 

 has drafted vigorous resolutions on 

 <5uarantine No. 37 and will ask the sup- 

 port and cooperation of every state hor- 

 ticultural society in the United States 

 in an effort to get this obnoxious meas- 

 ure radically modified. 



Many growers are still having a hard 

 time to secure enough fuel to keep their 

 greenhouses from freezing. William 

 Sim, of Cliftondale, one of the best 

 local growers, who specializes in carna- 

 tions, violets and polyanthus, says that 

 he has been paying $25 a day for a truck 

 to haul coal, and that all it could haul 

 daily was seven or eight tons, so badly 

 wero the roads blockaded with snow. 



The many friends of the esteemed 

 Alexander Montgomery, of Hadley, 

 were pleased to see him in Boston March 

 o, looking remarkably well after his 

 operation and serious illness. 



At Penn's, the volume of business 

 done in February went far ahead of 

 that done in the same month in any pre- 

 vious year. 



The success of Boston's big spring 

 show, which opens March 24, is prac- 

 tically assured. Sufficient entries have 

 already been received to fill practically 

 the entire building. A. C. Burrage's 

 orchid display is to be by far the largest 

 and most valuable one ever staged in 

 America, and it will completely fill one 

 large hall. Another inspiring collection 

 will come from the .Julius Roehrs Co., 

 Rutherford, X. .7. A remarkable collec- 

 tion of Karame azaleas, which were se- 

 cured by E. H. Wilson in Japan for the 

 Arnold Arboretum and which are a new 

 and remarkable race, will occupy 600 

 square feet of space. Thomas Eoland 

 will have two fine groups of acacias and 

 other notable displays will be made by 

 R. & J. Farquhar & Co. and many others. 

 The exhibition will be the most noted 

 spring display ever seen in Boston and, 

 as it is being heavily advertised, a rec- 

 ord attendance is certain. 



Thomas Roland started marketing 

 finely flowered Tausendschoen roses a 

 week ago. He has a grand lot of roses 

 and French hydrangeas coming along 

 for Easter and his acacias and ericas 

 are remarkably fine.

and Florists' Club comes March 16, one 

 week before the opening of the big 

 spring flower show. A prominent mem- 

 ber of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen will be the speaker of the 

 evening and will discuss the association, 

 its aims and progress. There will be 

 much other business of importance.
