There were several severe losses from 

 the blizzard of March 6 among commer- 

 cial growers. The heaviest occurred at 

 the Coolidge range, near Mount Auburn 

 cemetery, where four houses, 40x200, 

 collapapd under the weight of snow 

 blown in blinding clouds on the roofs. 

 The loss in all houses was complete. 

 Bedding plants and vegetables were 

 mostly grown. Several other houses 

 were damaged. Mr. Coolidge will prob- 

 ably not rebuild. Mrs. Jennie P. Snow, 

 the carnation specialist of Sharon, lost 

 her best house of carnations and has 

 the sympathy of many growers. On 

 other ranges some damage was done, 

 more serious than from the great storm 

 of February 5. 



Charles F. Boyle was elected presi- 

 dent of the T. F. Galvin corporation last 

 week. Mr. Boyle is extremely popular 

 in the trade. He has worked since boy- 

 hood with Galvin 's and well deserves 

 the position he has just been given. His 

 many friends tender congratulations. 



William E. Nicholson is around again 

 after a severe illness with pneumonia. 

 He will leave for Pinehurst, N. C, this 

 week, where he will recuperate and en- 

 joy the mountain air and excellent golf 

 course. He will visit the New York 

 show en route.

 March 19. Mr. Wilson leaves in June

With the passing of the forty days 

 since the ground hog saw his shadow 

 and crawled back for another sleep, we
