flower. The acacia house contained a 

 large assortment of these popular plants 

 in a variety of sizes, from the big pubes- 

 cens to small stock in 4:inch pots. Mr. 

 Roland's exhibits of these plants have 

 given him national fame. Camellias 

 were remarkably well budded and many 

 already flowering. 



Cattleyas filled one roomy house and 

 were a fine, healtliy lot. Quantities of 

 Triana' were in bud or sheath and a fair 

 number were in bloom. A long bench 

 of cypripediums contained some choice 

 sorts and batches of Oncidium splen- 



didum, dendrobes 

 all looked happy, 

 were to be seen 

 best nephrolepis, 



and other orchids 

 In other houses 

 quantities of the 

 dracsenas, crotons, 

 ficus, bougainvilleas and other plants. 

 Special mention should be made of a 

 long bench of nerines, mostly hybrids, 

 including numerous flats of seedlings, 

 which, in a year or two, will give Mr. 

 Boland an imposing lot of these lovely 

 fall bulbous subjects. In coldframes 

 and elsewhere were thousands of ram- 

 blers and other roses, hydrangeas and 

 other stock, which will soon take the 

 space now occupied by Christmas plants. 

 No one interested in pot plants should 

 fail to visit Nahant and see the grand 

 houses of plants Mr. Roland has. 



Various Notes. 



The Welch Bros. Co. reports a much 

 larger Thanksgiving trade than a year 

 ago. It is receiving large consignments 

 of roses and other flowers from A. N. 

 Pierson, Inc., for which firm it is sole 

 Boston agent. Columbia and Premier 

 both prove popular, as well as the newer 

 Crusader and Pilgrim. A fine lot of 

 cyclamens from R. & J. Farquhar & Co. 

 were also noted here. 



Thomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills, is 

 sending in some handsome giant mig- 

 nonette. He has a large house of car- 

 nations, principally Enchantress Su- 

 preme, Matchless, Benora and Beacon. 



Louis E. Small, of Tewksbiiry, always 

 has some flowers out of the beaten 

 track. He has been a great specialist 

 in bachelor's buttons under glass and 

 now has fine flowers of these in several 

 colors. In addition he has calendulas, 

 French marigolds, yellow marguerites 

 and other interesting flowers. 



John A. Nelson, of Framingham, 

 never had his carnation houses in finer 

 shape at this season than now. He has 



a great crop of Matchless, Ward, Be- 

 nora, Pink Delight, Beacon and Morning 



Glow in sight for the holidays and also 

 fine Spencer sweet peas.
