 merly located.

George Anson, orchid grower for A. 0. 

 Burrage, Beverly Farms, will give a 

 stereopticon lecture on orchids at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club November 18. Exhibits of orchids 

 and other flower novelties will be a 

 feature. Nominations of officers for 

 1920 will be made at this meeting. 



There is a marked decrease in re- 

 ceipts of violets here of late years, and 

 this season fewer flowers than ever are 

 being received. Many growers have 

 given up their culture as unprofitable 

 and others have reduced their plantings. 

 One of the most successful growers, Wil- 

 liam Spillsbury, of Woburn, Mass., 

 states that he is not getting over 1,000 

 flowers daily where he should pick 5,000, 

 that the plants are variable in size and 

 vigor and that their culture is becom- 

 ing a lottery. A. T. Kidder grew 25,000 

 plants in the field, from which he se- 

 lected 8,000 to house. Others, like 

 James Shannon, of Woburn, report 

 similar conditions. With Princess of 

 Wales violet now in cultivation for 

 nearly a quarter of a century, it looks 

 as though the constitution of this once 

 splendid variety had so weakened as to 

 compel growers to drop it and secure a 

 substitute if one is available. 



H. E, Hood, of Manchester, N. H., 

 gave the wholesale market a little fillip 

 November 8 by purchasing 10,000 car- 

 nations for a Bed Cross drive in that 

 city. 



Anderson Bros., of Woburn, Mass., are 

 cutting nice lots of such chrysanthe- 

 mums as Mrs. Bowe, Mrs. W. Bucking- 

 ham, Klondyke, Dotty, Bonnaffon, 

 Chieftain and Eager, also sweet peas 

 in variety. 



Bouvardia is proving extremely 

 popular in Boston this season. The 

 white, sweet-scented Humboldtii is in 

 especial favor, John W. Foots has a 

 large house from which he is just start-
