Hundreds of flowers and buds of Cat- 

 tleya Mossise remain, the variety of 

 outstanding merit being the magnificent 

 gold-medal variety, Mrs. J. T. Butter- 

 worth, unbeatable as a Mossiae, marvel- 

 ous in size and coloring. Pure white 

 cattleyas and many hybrids were noted 

 in flower. 



Splendid batches of C. Trianse, 

 labiata, Percivaliana, gigas and other 

 varieties, all in vigorous health, were 

 noted. There are plants here 40 years 

 or more old, still in vigorous health, 

 and each year 500 or 1,000 divisions 

 are taken and grown on, rendering the 

 buying of imported stock needless. If 

 all growers cared for their cattleyas as 

 intelligently as Mr. Butterworth, there 

 would be no talk of cattleyas running 

 out and deteriorating. 



Cypripediums, vandas, dendrobiums, 

 odontoglossums, cymbidiums, Iselias, 

 phalsenopsis and other orchid genera 

 are all equally well done and in rugged 

 health. 



Various Notes. 



Memorial day and its prospects are 

 about the sole topics in trade circles at 

 present. There will undoubtedly be 

 heavier sales of cut flowers and arti- 

 ficial wreaths than ever before. The 

 number of the latter offered for sale 

 is tremendous, but so great is the de- 

 mand that a week before the great 

 floral festival some are fearful that 

 they cannot fill their orders, which, in 

 response to well placed newspaper ad- 

 vertisements, are pouring in from all 

 parts of New England. A continuance 

 of the present torrid wave will benefit 

 the artificial and work serious harm 

 to natural flowers, as it did in 1914. 

 Good crops of stocks, feverfew, candy- 

 tuft, snapdragons and gladioli are avail- 

 able under glass, while outdoors it 

 looks as if part of the crop of herba- 

 ceous peonies will be open. Lilacs are 

 passing; so is that popular shrub 

 Spiraea Van Houttei, but rhododendrons 

 and azaleas of the calendulacoa type, 

 deutzias, pyrethruma, columbines and 

 other open-air flowers will be in season. 

 The peony crop is a splendid one. Up 

 to May 23 all we had was the old 

 officinalis and supplies from south of 

 us. 



One of the most interesting items of 

 trade news last week was that Ander- 

 son Bros., of Woburn, had taken over 

 and would operate the Waban Eose Con- 

 servatories. There are three brothers 

 in thfe firm and they now have quite a 

 large range in Woburn growing sweet 

 peas, chrysanthemums, calendulas and 

 a large variety of miscellaneous stock.
