from the growers and looks for a big 

 Easter trade. The cut flower trade is 

 also good. Patrick Welch is visiting the 

 New York show this week. 



Pierce Bros., of Waltham, Mass., at 

 one time leading specialists in Easter 

 lilies, have for several years grown 

 nothing but roses. They have sixteen 

 houses, each 300 feet long, planted to 

 Columbia, Francis Scott Key, Premier, 

 Ophelia and other popular varieties, 

 which are giving a fine cut of long- 

 stemmed flowers. Archie Murray, the 

 able and popular foreman, was formerly 

 in charge of the Waban Bose Conserva- 

 tories, Natick, Mass. 



A few weeks ago it looked as if most 

 of the growers would be unable to get 

 their Easter lilies in on time, but the 

 season has been so warm that plants are 

 more advanced than is usual for a J^te 

 Easter. Large quantities are in bloom 

 and are being held back in cold houses, 

 "^here is less disease than usual and, 

 while some giganteums are only six to 

 nine inches high, the major portion are 

 of good height. There are differences of 

 opinion as to prices. The average seems 

 to be 20 to 25 cents per bud and an 

 ample supply seems probable. 



Seymour Grose, buyer for Carbone's, 

 was married a few days ago. This 

 makes his second matrimonial venture, 

 and his fellow workers presented him 

 with a purse of gold. 



Prof. W. J. V. Osterhout, of Harvard 

 University, gave the last of a series of 

 five lectures at Horticultural hall March 

 12, his subject being, "Plant Breeding, 

 the Practical Application of the Laws 

 of Heredity to the Improvement of 

 Plants." The lecture hall was again 

 crowded to the doors and questions at 

 the close of the lecture occupied about 

 two hours. A good number of florists 

 and gardeners interested in hybridiza- 

 tion have attended these lectures and 

 the attendances have been record ones. 



Visitors to the New York show from 

 Boston this week include Andrew Chris- 

 tcnsen, C. B. Johnson, J. A. Nelson, H. 

 M. Robinson, Robert Cameron, Donald 

 McKenzie, W. R. Nicholson, F. N. San- 

 born, Paul F. Burke and H. B. Comley. 



Wax Bros., at Temple place, have an 

 attractive store and it already presents 

 an Easter-like aspect. There are always 

 numbers of interesting flowers, particu- 

 larly in annuals, to be seen here and the 

 big bunches of pansies in separate colors 

 are a striking feature. W. N. C.
