sweet peas, stevias, chrysanthemums

 here under glass, while Daphne €neo- 

 rum meets with a large sale and ia spe- 

 cialized on here. 



A pleasant feature of the afternoon 

 and quite a surprise came when, in pass- 

 ing through a long woodland road be- 

 tween two of the nurseries, the caval- 

 cade of automobiles was halted and re- 

 freshments were served in a delight- 

 fully shaded spot, with a babbling 

 brook b^ind the lunch table. After 

 the inner man had been well cared for, 

 short addresses were made by H. H. 

 Bartsch, who referred to his visit to 

 the convention of the Canadian Horti- 

 cultural Association, at Hamilton; W. 

 N. Craig, F. E. Palmer and Gustavo 

 Thommen. W. H. Wyman, Jr., in re- 

 sponding, spoke of the many handicaps 

 placed on New England nurserymen by 

 the various embargoes promu^ated 

 with little warning at frequent inter- 

 vals. The field day was thoroughly en- 

 joyed by all who participated in it. 



Visiting Kidder Bros., Lincoln. 



Ask anyone acquainted with the Bos- 

 ton market who brings in the finest and 

 best-branched single violets, freesias 

 and stevias and the answer will prob- 

 ably be Kidder Bros. The two brothers 

 composing the well known firm believe 

 in growing a few things, in growing 

 them well and then placing them on the 

 market in the most attractive way pos- 

 sible. The Kidder violets have a repu- 

 tation possessed by no others in Bos- 

 ton and I have never seen any Purity 

 freesias at all approaching theirs in 

 size of flower, substance and length of 

 stem. Most of the houses are planted 

 with Comet tomatoes as a summer crop 

 and these are just finishing; 36,000 

 pounds of fruit were picked from 9,500 

 plants and all have made quite satisfac- 

 tory prices. Usually 75,000 freesias are 

 grown in pots, but, as bulbs of decent 

 size could not be secured this season, 

 they have been cut out temporarily and 

 a larger planting of Princess of Wales 

 violets will be made. 



Violet planting starts early in Octo- 

 ber. About 25,000 splendid plants wetre 

 noted in the field; these are kept well 

 watered and sprayed to keep red spider 

 in check. All are g^own in solid beds 

 and the soil is changed every year; this 

 entails much labor, but it is found to 

 pay. Stevias in 8-inch pots to the num- 



For Fifty-three Years 



we have endeavored to give the 

 trade satisfactory CUT FERNS. 

 Our summer trade has been larger 

 than in any previous year, so 

 we feel our humble efforts have 

 been appreciated. 



May we have YOUR regular order?
