other popular herbaceous plants were 

 looking fine, while evergreens in all sizes 

 never looked better, thanks to copious 

 rains this season. A large block of the 

 pretty Picea albertiana was worthy of 

 special note, also blocks of Lilium re- 

 gale and a new rock garden at the 

 nursery entrance. 



A great business is done here in pot- 

 grown strawberries and over 60,000 

 plants of Marshall alone were seen. No 

 flowers are allowed to remain on the 

 large blocks of plants which produce the 

 runners. Thus quite early pot plants are 

 assured. At the Sharon nurseries ever- 

 greens do especially well and are heavily 

 grown, while at the large West Barn- 

 stable nurseries are many acres of 

 hybrid and seedling rhododendrons, aza- 

 leas, kalmias, Lilium auratum, L. spe- 

 ciosum, L. Henryi, L. tigrinum, etc., and 

 great numbers of new Chinese plants. 

 Patrick Pordham, the manager at the 

 Dedham nurseries, has everything in fine 

 condition. 



Boston to Cleveland. 



E. Allan Peirce, state vice-president 

 of the S. A. F. for eastern Massachu- 

 setts, is endeavoring to secure a delega- 

 tion of fifty "live wires" from New 

 England to the Cleveland S. A. F. con- 

 vention, and several members have al- 

 ready decided to make the trip. Fare 

 from Boston one way will be $22.01, 

 lower berth $4.59, total $26.60. The 

 train on which the Boston party plans 

 to go will leave South Station August 

 16 at 2 p. m. (eastern standard time) ; 

 Newton ville, 2:15; Worcester, 3:15; 

 Springfield, 4.35, and Pittsfield, 6:20. 

 Those planning to make the trip to 

 Cleveland should notify Mr. Peirce at 

 once so that reservations can be secured, 

 and all are urged to make hotel reserva- 

 tions in advance at the Hollenden, Stat- 

 ler, Cleveland, Winton or Olmsted 

 hotel. 



Various Notes. 



W. E. Lenk has one of his new rose 

 houses, at Belmont, Mass., completed 

 and ready for planting. It is a splendid 

 house, 40x340, and it is hoped to com- 

 plete another house of similar size this 

 summer. The ground here is of a stiff, 

 retentive nature and should suit roses. 

 Mr. Lenk should be able to produce some

splendid stock in these up-to-the-minute 

 houses. 



At the next meeting of the Gardeners ' 

 and Florists' Club, September 15, poul- 

 try will be the subject of the evening, 

 with an expert lecturer. There have 

 been so many calls for a talk of this 

 kind from both commercial and private 

 growers that the executive committee 

 decided to discuss something other than 

 flowers for one night, especially as so 

 many of the members are engaged in 

 poultry raising.
