tions are that the Mothers' day business 

 in Boston will far exceed that of any 

 previous year. Retailers are pushing it 

 more than ever before. 



Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, has 

 a grand crop of Carnation Matchless for 

 Mothers ' day. Ward, Pink Delight, Alice 

 and the old Queen are also fine. 



F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, is starting to 

 cut fine blooms of Cattleya gigas, in 

 addition to those of C. Mossiae. He also 

 has splendid stock of Odontoglossum 

 crispum and O. Pescatorei, Eenanthera 

 Imschootiana and Oncidium flexuosum. 



The Halifax Garden Co., in addition to 

 the regular and largo shipments of roses 

 and carnations, is cutting good hybrid 

 amaryllis, gardenias and ixias. Of the 

 latter they are the largest local growers 

 this season. 



A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is a success- 

 ful grower of Marguerite Mrs. Sander 

 and now is making large shipments of 

 this fine white variety. He also has yel- 

 low marguerites, pink snapdragons and 

 carnations. 



In spite of the war, inclement weather 

 and other drawbacks, the preparations 

 for the grand June exhibition of the 

 Massacliusetts Horticultural Society, 

 which will be held on the grounds of 

 the "Wentworth Institute, Huntington 

 avenue, are being pushed vigorously and 

 it is planned to open tlie show June 1. 

 All profits will go to the American Red 

 Cross Society. There will be special 

 marquees for azaleas, rhododendrons, 

 orchids, roses and other flowers. In ad- 

 dition, rock gardens, aquatic gardens, 

 groups of conifers and herbaceous peren- 

 nials will be featured. The exhibition 

 will remain open at least ten days. 



From the Albert Roper Estate, at 

 Tewksbury, some grand shipments of 

 the new Albert Roper carnation are com- 

 ing in. Grace and Commonwealth are 

 also splendid. 



Those wanting to see Carnation Match- 

 less at its best should take a trip to 

 North Beverly and see h batch of about 

 10,000 plants of this variety. The 

 benches are a veritable snowy sheet of 

 bloom. Mr. Pembroke finds Matchless a 

 profitable variety for Mothers' day and 

 Memorial day. All his otlier carnations 

 look fine. Lady Northcliffe, Pink Sen- 

 sation, Alice and Pink Delight are fine.

 Florists' Club meeting at Horticultural
