the proprietor, E. S. Webster, member 

 of the noted firm of Stone & Webster, 

 and under the auspices of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society, the 

 greenhouses on this estate, located in 

 the Chestnut Hill section of Brookline, 

 were thrown open to the public, the spe- 

 cial attraction being the collection of 

 winter-flowering begonias. The many 

 who took advantage of the invitation 

 had a rich treat. The English type of 

 winter-flowering begonias developed by 

 Veitch 's and Clibrans occupied one 

 house, being arranged in groups of one 

 variety with suitable foliage plants 

 interspersed to show up their beauty. 

 Out of a large number of sorts, Exquisite 

 stood head and shoulders above all oth- 

 ers in its glorious colorings, with im- 

 mense flowers equal to those produced 

 on the finest summer tuberous begonias. 

 Optima, as a commercial variety, stands 

 high and showed up splendidly, as did 

 Moonbeam, Fireflame, Rosalind, Winter 

 Cheer, Mrs. Heal, Matchless and other 

 sorts. All these plants were grandly 

 flowered. Another house contained large 

 specimens of Melior, Cincinnati, Mrs. 

 Peterson, Turnford Hall and Lorraine in 

 pans and baskets. The carnation house 

 had splendid batches of Doris, White 

 Wonder (here preferred to Matchless as 

 being a better winter bloomer), Pink 

 Delight, Rosalia, ;,Iiiaddie and Enchant- 

 ress Supreme. There were splendid lots 

 of cyclamens, poinsettias, orchids (in- 

 cluding thrifty odontoglossums), ericas, 

 roses, gardenias, cinerarias and other 

 plants. A fine new plant range has 

 just been completed here and is now 

 filled with thrifty stock. Everything 

 here reflects the highest credit on Peter 



Arnott, the capable and courteous head 

 gardener. 



Various Notes. 



Under the will of Miss Caroline 8. 

 Freeman, who died November 26, the 



Massachusetts Horticultural Society is 

 a beneficiary to the extent of $10,000. 

 The Arnold Arboretum also received a 

 bequest.

 finest flowers of the popular Chrysan-
