materially. Sweet peas are in tre- 

 mendous supply and sell cheaply. 



Snapdragons, Spanish irises, mignon- 

 ette, calendulas, candytuft and ]iau- 

 sies are all more or less druggy. Tlie 

 last indoor tulips and daffodils are ap- 

 pearing this week. An abundant out- 

 door crop of these is now available. 

 Gladiolus America and Mrs. King come 

 in from several growers, and there is a 

 good supply of Peach Blossom. Lilies 

 are cheap. Gardenias are of inferior 

 quality. Cattleyas are not abundant, 

 and while there is no great demand for 

 them they realize good prices. Warmer 

 weather has given a fillip to the bedding 

 plant trade. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an attendance of 100 at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club May 15. Three new members 

 were elected. E. I. Farrington gave 

 an interesting stereopticon lecture on 

 "What's New in the Garden." He 

 showed many of the newer roses, 

 dahlias, chrysanthemums, hardy peren- 

 nials, shrubs and vegetables. Eric H. 

 Wetterlow received a report of superior 

 merit for half a dozen grand plants of 

 giant white strcptocarpus. The seeds of 

 these plants were sown in January,

1916, and the plants were grown in a 

 •minimum of 60 degrees. Tlie strain had 

 been developed after some years of 

 careful selection and cross breeding. 

 These were the finest streptocarpus ever 

 shown in Boston. William H. Judd had 

 a collection of mounted specimens of 

 uncommon early-flowering shrubs. 



Considerable discussion took place 

 over the increased food production and 

 the effect of the last winter on ever-

 It was announced that at the meeting 

 of June 19 there would be a collation 

 and dance, for which a charge would be 

 made. A letter of good cheer was voted 

 sent to Alexander M. Mitchell, of Can- 

 ton, a new member who recently met 

 with a severe accident, being knocked 

 down and crushed by an automobile.
