humus crop tests, trials of varieties and 

 other features of this valuable experi- 

 mental station greatly interested the 

 numerous visitors and the day proved 

 to be a practical, helpful and enjoyable 

 one. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Florence Palmer, second daugh- 

 ter of l'\ E. Palmer, the well known 

 Brookline florist and landscape gar- 

 dener, was married at home August 2 to 

 Dean Peabody, one of the staff of the 

 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

 The young couple are enjoying their 

 honeymoon in a charming bungalow in 

 the White mountains of New Hamp- 

 shire, where members of the Appa- 

 lachian Mountain Club, to which the 

 young couple belong, sometimes make 

 t)ieir rendezvous. 



A latter from P. W. Fletcher, for 

 twenty-flvfe years a grower and jour- 

 nalist in and around Boston, now resi- 

 dent at Orlando, Fla., shows that the 

 raiser of Nclrose snapdragon and other 

 novelties is not resting on his laurels. 

 He is now busy growing Easter lilies 

 from seed, and, if a batch of 4,000 bulbs, 

 which he now has, forces well, he means 

 to go into the production of them or a 

 large scale. Orlando, he says, is grow- 

 ing upace and about $5,000,000 worth 

 of new buildings will be erected there 

 this year. 



The B. & J. Farquhar Co. is having 

 large sales of pot-grown strawberry 

 plants, handling over 6,000 of Marshall 

 alomj and having over a dozen other 

 sorts. Good orders are coming in for 

 bulbs, trees and shrubs for fall plai^t- 

 ing. The death of James and John Far- 

 quhar in no wise affects this firm, which 

 was incorporated a couple of years ago. 

 Principal officers are Alexander P. 

 Dewar, now on a European visit in the 

 interests of his firm; George Cruick- 

 shank, head of the landscape depart- 

 ment; V. E. Neilson, and Patrick Ford- 

 ham, the Dedham nurseries manager. 



Martin Wax, of Wax Bros., is at 

 Grand Lake Stream, Me., following the 

 return of his l)rother, Samuel. 



With nearly 100 classes in the sched- 

 ules of the New p]ngland Gladiolus 

 Society and Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society for August 14 and 15, a 

 gladiolus show of record proportions 

 and quality seems assured. There are 

 also numerous classes for other season- 

 able flowers, fruits and vegetables. 



T. F. Galvin, Inc., is preparing the 

 new store for occupancy on Boylston 

 street, Copley Square, and will vacate 

 the present stand, the Back Bay Con- 

 servatories, September 1. 



William R. Nicholson makes large 

 shipments of perennial larkspur several 

 times weekly. These are always eager- 

 ly bought. Blue as a color is always 

 popular, either cut or in the garden. 

 Those who want a constant crop of 

 hardy larkspur through the summer 

 must grow a good batch of seedlings 

 early each season under glass, and later 

 line them out in the field, where they 

 will start to flower freely when the 

 older, established clumps have finished 

 their first crop and are making growths 

 for a later crop. 



Local carnation growers are busy 

 housing their plants, which, thanks to 

 the heat and copious moisture, have 

 made splendid growth this season. S. J. 

 Goddard finished filling his houses a 

 fortnight ago. 



The cool, pleasant weather which Au- 

 gust has given us has encouraged the
