an excellent crop of Stanley, Ophelia, 

 Crimson Queen, Hadlcy, Dark Pink Kil- 

 larney, Killarney Queen, Double White 

 and White Killarney roses. The man- 

 agement has a lieavy Memorial day crop 

 in sight. For the coming season Rich- 

 mond and Sunburst will be dropped, 

 while Stanley and Ophelia will be heav- 

 ily grown. 



John K. M. L. Farquhar has been ap- 

 pointed a member of the park and rec- 

 reation commission of the city of Bos- 

 ton, to succeed Tliomas F. Galvin, who 

 resigned owing to i)ressure of other 

 duties. Mr. Farquhar is one of the 

 busiest men in Boston, but is sure to 

 bring excellent new ideas with him for 

 the benefit of the new department he 

 will serve on. 



The Arnold Arboretum lias had 

 swarms of visitors this week to see the 

 annual display of ornamental cherries. 

 These and the forsythias are fine this 

 season. The present week will see a 

 notable display of pyrus and mains, 

 with lilacs to follow a week later. 



N. F. Comley, of Burlington, is a 

 heavy shipper of cut flowers these days. 

 In addition to large quantities of fine 

 roses, carnations and sweet peas, he has 

 fine Spanish irises. Quite a number of 

 his houses now arc devoted to cucumbers 

 and tomatoes. 



The present spell of warm weather is 

 welcomed by florists. Many of them 

 still are doubtful about getting their 

 crops of spiraeas, candytuft, etc., in for 

 Memorial d.'iy, but ii continuation of 

 clear skies will be a big help. From 

 the way advance orders are piling in, 

 the Memorial day trade is again going 

 to break all records, unless the weather 

 man is unkind enough to send on a 

 severe heat wave, as he did in 1915. 



William Sim, of Cliftondale, has fin- 

 ished his indoor crop of polyanthus, but 

 will have a nice outdoor crop for Memo- 

 rial day. He is at present cutting thou- 

 sands of Darwin tulips indoors and a 

 grand lot of sweet ]ieas. 



Cut flowers and florists are receiving 

 some hard knocks from the so-called 

 public safety experts these days. The 

 writer attended a mass meeting at 

 Hinghani, Mass., May 17, at which the 

 first speaker, a prominent Bostonian, 

 expressed the hope that every florist

 vised ladies to tear out their roses and 

 other flowers and plant vegetables. I 

 am glad to say that his advice was not 

 all well received and, having occasion to 

 address the same gathering later in the 

 evening, I took pleasure in helping to 

 spike the guns of the anti-florist orator. 

 Mrs. W. H. Ward is the only lady 

 stallholder of the Flower Exchange, and 

 she rarely fails to sell out her flowers.
