Mention The Review when you write. 



«engers of good cheer to the sick from 

 the florists of Greater Boston and the 

 newspapers gave them much credit for 

 their work. All stores were well dec- 

 orated and carried handsome displays 

 for the week and it seemed as though 

 the "Say It with Flowers" sign met 

 one at almost every turn. 



That the flower campaign week did 

 not immediately bolster up prices and 

 create a bull market caused some to 

 feel disgruntled, but those who had 

 planned the affair were not anticipating 

 this so much as they were to set people 

 talking about flowers and, this being 

 accomplished, increased sales are bound 

 to follow as a natural sequence. All 

 honor is due those who inaugurated this 

 movement. May it become an annual 

 affair and gain momentum as it grows 

 older! 



Horticultural Society Meets. 



The annual meeting and election of 

 the society was held November 15. The 

 officers elected were: President, W. C. 

 Endicott; vice-president, C. S. Sargent; 

 trustees for three years, E. B. Dane, A. 

 C. Burrage, E. S. Webster, F, A. Wilson; 

 trustee for two years, A. H. Fewkes; 

 nominating committee, Oakes Ames, 

 William Anderson, J. K. M. L. Far- 

 qnhar, S. J. Goddard, John E. Thayer. 



An appropriation of $7,500 for prizes 

 for 1920 for six exhibitions was ap- 

 proved, also $1,000 donated by Miss 

 Case for four additional shows. 



Douglas Ecclestone, gardener to A. 

 C. Burrage, showed Lseliocattleya Alice 

 Burrage (Lseliocattleya Luster x Cat- 

 tleya Rubens), which was awarded a 

 silver medal. The same exhibitor re- 

 ceived a similar award for a beautiful 

 group of choice cypripediums in over 

 fifty varieties, including such varieties 

 as C. insigne Sanderse, Harefield Hall, 

 Leeanum giganteum, Boltonianum, 

 Olivia, Sir Redvers BuUer, Reginald 

 Young, Maudise, triumphans, Lord 

 Derby, ActcEus revoluta, insigne Golden 

 Crown, Tityus and aureum Ixiom. 



Among the Growers. 



The W. W. Edgar establishment at 

 Waverley is one of the best known 

 plant factories near Boston. In spite 

 of labor difficulties and other draw- 

 backs, a lot of fine stock is to be seen 

 here. There are several thousand be- 

 gonias, Melior being seen in largest
