 Co., some nice French hydrangeas, well

 mention. The report of the committee 

 on the dance and entertainment showed 

 a small deficit, which it was voted to 

 pay from the treasury. 



John Watson, of Princeton, N. J., 

 was the speaker of the evening and gave 

 a splendid talk on "The American As- 

 sociation of Nurserymen; Its Aims and 

 Progress." His a(l<lress was a most 

 thoughtful on" and contained a great 

 deal of common sense and logic. A long 

 discussion followed the address, a good 

 deal of it being in regard to Quarantine 

 .37, which, as usual, came in for strong 

 denunciation. A number of members 

 left for the New York show at the close 

 of the meeting on the midnight train. 



Various Notes. 



At the end of last week a great deal 

 of material was already in position for 

 the great sj)ring show of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society, opening 

 March 24. The extensive orchid dis- 

 play of A. C. Rurrage was installed and 

 the large lecture hall had been trans- 

 formed to receive it. Rockwork, formed 

 with tufa stone pillars, covered with 

 cork bark and capped by tree ferns and 

 palms, is arranged with a magnificent 

 and bewildering display of orchids. 

 More than twice as many orchids are 

 shown in this one display as were ex- 

 hibited altogether at tlie Xew York 

 Grand Central Palace show. There are 

 many other notable features which tax 

 the hall accommodations and, had more 

 space been available, the show would 

 have been of even greater proportions. 

 A record attendance is assured at this 

 show. 



Among additional members of the 

 local trade noted at the New York show 

 were "William Anderson, F. N. Sanborn, 

 Oustave Thommen, Charles E. Robinson, 

 .T. T. Butterworth and Miss Butter- 

 worth, George T. Elliott, Mrs. W. W. 

 Edgar, P. .T. Van Baarda. Ralph Messen- 

 ger and W. .T. Collins. 



William H. Elliott has incorporated 

 his business under the name of W. H. 

 Elliott & Sons Co. The officers are as 

 follows: President, George T. Elliott; 

 Becretary, John F. Elliott, and treas

urer, W. H. Elliott, Jr. These officers 

 and Marjorie K. Elliott and A. R. Hut- 

 son form the board of directors. The 

 capitalization is for $300,000. W. H. 

 Elliott, Sr., is at present en route to 

 ('alifornia, where Mrs. Elliott has been 

 for some time. He will visit many 

 establishments on his way to the Pa- 

 cific coast. 



The new officers of the T. F. Galvin 

 corporation are C. F. Boyle, pr?sident; 

 James Slattery, manager of the Park 

 street store, and John R. McDonough, 

 manager of the Boylston street store. 

 At the New York store R. A. Hale will 

 lontinue as manager. Mr. Boyle, the 

 new president of Galvin 's, was for ten 

 years manager of the Back Bay store 

 and Mr. Slattery has been over twenty 

 years with the firm. The 1919 business 

 was far the largest in the firm's his- 

 tory. 



The store of Hamlin the Florist, in 

 the Little building, opened during the 

 present winter, has been closed and will 

 probably not reopen. 



March 20 we were treated to an ad- 

 ditional fall of snow eight inches deep, 

 as if to inaugurate spring properly. It 

 would seem as though the weather man 

 this season took a particular delight in 

 serving out snow storms Saturdays, the 

 florists' busiest days, as we have not 

 had a pleasant week-end for many 

 weeks. Melting snow is causing serious 

 floods in this section. 



The Julius Roehrs Co. sent its large 

 collection of orchids in auto trucks over 

 the road from Rutherford, N. J., for the 

 big Boston orchid show. 



Albert C. Burrage has prepared and 

 had printed 10,000 bulletins of popular 

 information about orchids, for free dis- 

 tribution at the great orchid show. The 

 admission price for the show, which has 

 been 50 cents for some years, will be 

 $1 at the coming show, the same as in 

 New York. A large New York dele- 

 gation will visit the show March 24 

 and 2') and many will attend both the 

 banquet and the orchid conference.
