was a novel and most interesting dis- 

 play of forced blueberry plants covered 

 with ripe fruits. These included a few 

 native Massachusetts bushes, some prop- 

 agated by Miss Elizabeth C. White, at 

 White Bog, N. J., from wild New Jersey 

 stock specially selected on account of 

 the size of berries they bore, and some 

 hybrid blueberries under name, re- 

 ceived from the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington, through F. V. 

 Coville, botanist in that bureau. 

 Berries shown were five-eighths of an 

 inch in diameter and the prediction is 

 freely made that berries an inch in 

 diameter will undoubtedly be obtained 

 before long. A special premium of $50, 

 offered by Mi.ss M. E. Case for improve- 

 ments in blueberry culture, was awarded 

 to Douglas Eccleston, superintendent 

 for Albert C. Burrage, for the fine and 

 attractive display of high-grade blue- 

 berries made. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety is planning for a great bulb show 

 in the spring of 1922, with some $6,000 

 in preniium.s. There is also a proba- 

 bility of a large show of ferns at one 

 of the fall exhibitions. Some years 

 ago the autumn exhibitions of stove 

 and greenhouse plants, ferns, etc., were 

 one of the great features of the year at 

 Horticultural hall. It gradually died 

 out wifli the decline in the culture of 

 fino-foliaged ])lant.s, but may be rein- 

 stated. 



An ininien.se stock of Memorial day 

 wreaths has been prep:ired by Penn 's 

 and is being largely advertised. An 

 attractive window feature last week 

 was an apple tree loaded with delicious 

 looking fruits which most of the many 

 passers-by imagined were real, while, 

 as a matter of fart, these and lovely 

 baskets of oranges, grapes, bananas, 

 peaches and pears were all wax. 



William Sim, when called on last 

 week, was busy planting out his carna- 

 tions. These are planted in loam in 

 shallow benches and lift with a nice 

 ball. They are planted in beds contain- 

 ing six rows each, spaced eight to nine 

 inches apart each w;iy. The plants 

 were well branclied and when planted 

 out were almost as large as some grow- 

 ers have them at lifting time in 

 August. Some 200,000 are grown here. 

 In the various houses crops of Rosette, 

 Rosalia, White Delight, Pink Delight, 

 Ward, etc., were still carrying a fine 

 crop of high-grade flowers. Laddie 

 looked fine and Mr. Sim remarked that 

 this variety brought as much as $20 

 per hundred for Mothers' day.
