$6 to $7. Curiously enough, in that year 

 other varieties of plants sold well. Just 

 why lilies did not sell well this Easter 

 is difficult to determine. The chief rea- 

 son, undoubtedly, was the poor quality 

 of the lilies. Taken as a whole, they 

 were not up to the mark. This, undoubt- 

 edly, affected the appearance of the stock 

 taken as a whole. People do not want 

 unattractive plants. The heat and a 

 change of taste in the flower-loving pub- 

 lic were also factors. Given good bulbs, 

 the lily will come back at Easter. 

 HistoricaL 

 The records of the June meeting of the 

 Gcrmantown Horticultural Society for 

 the year 1883 show some curious facts. 

 Although this June meeting is now 

 spoken of as the outdoor-rose meeting, 

 there were no roses exhibited. It would 

 be more accurate to say that there is no 

 record of any roses having been exhib- 

 ited and there were no classes for roses. 

 The star exhibit was a basket of cut 

 Howers shown by the president, Thoma.s 

 Meehan. The principal competition was 

 in strawberries. There were many ex- 

 iiibits of Captain Jack and Sharplcss 

 seedlings. The largest berries in each 

 exhibit were carefully measured and 

 their circumference given. It was evi- 

 dently a great berry year. All the de- 

 tails of the meeting were kept with 

 painstaking fidelity by the secretary,

Easter is over, the May-flower days 

 and the June weddings and commence-

 summer and the baseball season.
