and in big demand. Pans of euphorbia 

 are nice and some good cinerarias, 

 primulas, ericas, camellias and late 

 chrysanthemums arc also offered. 



There is a tremendous demand for 

 holiday greens of all kinds and the re- 

 tail buyers who come in often can pick 

 up many of these. There seems to be a 

 marked scarcity in the local crop of 

 ilex, alder and other berries, also of 

 spruce cones, and many shipments are 

 coming from Michigan and other points. 

 Holly, as a rule, is not well berried, and 

 is much inferior to a year ago. Laurel 

 wreathing is in heavy demand. Wreaths 

 containing evergreen cones and berries 

 are popular and in heavier call than 

 ever for store decoration. 



Various Notes. 



At the Waban Conservatories, Natick, 



once the most noted rose-growing estab- 

 lishment in the east, Mr. Anderson, of 

 Woburn, who took over the place some 

 time ago, has every house planted with 

 promising-looking crops. Several are de- 

 voted to single violets and these are 

 blue with flowers. Sweet peas occupy 

 considerable space; two large houses are 

 filled with carnations and others contain 

 roses, calendulas, etc. Considering that 

 there are some 250,000 feet of glass here 

 and that the present owners have not 

 had it long, they have made surprising 

 progress. 



M. L. Davey, of the Davey Tree Ex- 

 pert Co., Kent, O., has been here for 

 some time and, after looking over the 

 devasted area of Massachusetts, stated 

 that it is the greatest disaster to trees 

 he had ever witnessed. His firm now 

 has a big force of men in this territory, 



in common with concerns from New 

 York, Connecticut and elsewhere. 



B. Harris, of Union square, Somer- 

 ville, was elected a member of the board 

 of aldermen of Womerville by a hand- 

 some majority at an election there last 

 week. 



Frank H. Traendly and Eugene Daille- 

 douze, of New York, were callers bust 

 week and visited Thomas Roland and 

 other well known growers near Boston; 

 they visited also in New Hampshire. 



December, up to date, has been an un- 

 usually favoral)le month for flower pro- 

 duction. We have had thirteen clear 

 days out of nineteen. The temperature 

 December 17 rose to 56 degrees and, on 

 the following day, to 60 degrees. De- 

 cember 15, the mercury fell below zero 

 in some suburban sections.
