tion of Japanese iris and W. N. Craig 

 and Henry Stewart, for twelve holly- 

 hock spikes. For a collection of wild 

 flowers Henry L. F. Naber and Mrs. 

 F. C. Upham were winners. 



The Blue Hill Nurseries had an in- 

 teresting table of aconitums, astilbes 

 and lilies. A hybrid lily, named Con- 

 stance, was specially good. Hillcrest 

 Gardens showed Gladiolus Colvillei 

 from bulbs received from South Africa 

 and grown outdoors. The variety of 

 this named The Bride has for many 

 years been a popular commercial va- 

 riety. W. N. Craig showed twenty-five 

 varieties of hardy herbaceous plants 

 and lilies. Eric H. Wetterlow, Man- 

 chester, Mass., received a silver medal 

 for the charming yellow tuberous be- 

 gonia, Frau Helen Haas. There were 

 good displays of seasonable flowers and 

 vegetables. 



Allen J. Jenkins lectured each after- 

 noon on "Sweet Peas, Their History 

 and Cultivation," before good au- 

 diences. The extremely hot, humid 

 weather did not prevent several thou- 

 sand persons from visiting the show. 

 The next exhibition comes August 13 

 and 14, when thirty-four classes are 

 allotted to gladioli, in addition to many 

 others in the schedule of the New Eng- 

 land Gladiolus Society, which will co- 

 operate. There are numerous addi- 

 tional classes for other flowers, as well 

 as fruits and vegetables, and a show of 

 record proportions is looked for. 



Various Notes. 



Until the end of June we had suffered 

 from a serious drought; then we were 

 treated to four days of rain, amount- 

 ing to five inches in the aggregate, fol- 

 lowed by a spell of suffocating heat, 

 which in turn gave place to a series of 

 terrific thunder storms July 9, the most 

 terrifying and prolonged ever recorded 

 here. The official weather bureau an- 

 nounced the rainfall between 1:30 a. m. 

 and 10 p. m. July 9 as six inches, and 

 more followed. The downpour washed 

 farms and gardens badly, almost de- 

 stroying all outdoor flowers, and did 

 tremendous damage to market garden 

 crops. The rainfall was the greatest 

 ever recorded in a single day in the 

 history of the weather bureau. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety is planning for a big show of 

 native ferns to be held in June, 1922, 

 and a schedule for the show will soon 

 be issued. 



Samuel Wax and son are away on a 

 six weeks' fishing trip in Newfound- 

 land and the staff at the store of Wax 

 Bros., 44 Temple place, are eagerly an- 

 ticipating the arrival of the first ship- 

 ments of salmon. Mr. Wax is a noted 

 fisherman and never fails to land some 

 handsome specimens of the finny tribe. 



Penn's duck farm is again an attrac- 

 tion to the many thousands on busy 

 Tremont street who love to stop and 

 admire the ducklings disporting them- 

 selves in the pools of cool, pellucid 

 water, and sigh that business prevents 

 them from hastening to Nantasket or 

 Revere and doing likewise. 



After one or two postponements, the 

 Boston Florists' Association finally se- 

 cured sufiRcient support to warrant hold- 

 ing an outing at Paragon park, Nan- 

 tasket, Tuesday evening, July 12. 

 There were about fifty in the party and 

 the trip was made by some in boats, 

 by others in automobiles, ladies being 

 finally included, as a "gander" party 

 proved unpopular. A splendid shore
