affairs of state. Then comes a treat, 

 a trip through the greenhouses with Mr. 

 Craig. The lilies^ — all L. giganteum — 

 are making vigorous growth. There are 

 over 20,000 and they make a fine appear- 

 ance. While a lily cannot be judged 

 until the buds are developed, indications 

 point to their being fine and well. 



The roses, Exeelsa, Tausendschoen, 

 RosiiTe and Lady Gay, are a beautiful 

 sight. The shoots, about an inch long, 

 are strong and evenly developed. They 

 have been i)runed and tied with excep- 

 tional care into the desired shape. There 

 are aerojilanos and baskets and globes 

 and staiidardu and bushes all trained to 

 their wires with such nicety as to insure 

 an evenly flowered plant, without whicli 

 no fancy shape is tolerable. 



Then there are Paul 's Scarlet Climber 

 and Baby Ramblers and Phyllis, remind- 

 ers of home, and Magna Charta and 

 Dunlo]) and several more, all full of 

 promise. 



The hydrangeas include five French 

 varieties, Madame Chautard, Baby Bim- 

 benet, Lilie Mouillcre, General De Vi- 

 braye, the reigning Tropliee and good 

 old otaksa. Indications are that their 

 wealth of buds will get there in time 

 without hurrying. 



Azaleas are repros(>nted by a whole 

 house of tliat glowing little .Tap. Ilino- 

 digiri. Genistas have the place of honor 

 in the now house just finished, while dai- 

 sies, Chrysanthemum frutescens and 

 Boston Yellow, now boarding out, are 

 reported well. 



Erica- translucens is coming more and 

 more into favor. Decorators who for- 

 merly used kentias only are now using 

 ericas, using them freely and coming 

 back for more. The sowing of erica 

 seed has been increased greatly. Dracae- 

 nas are i)articularly good. Their colors 

 are charming. A large stock of ferns, 

 Siottii, Teddy, .Jr., Roosevelt and Dwarf 

 Boston, is coming into form in the me- 

 dium sizes. Pandanus Veitchii is sturdy 

 .•md beautifully colored. Crotons are 

 rich in their rainbow effects. 



The Kaster novelty is the Otaheite 

 orange in bloom. There is a house of 

 tliese exquisite little plants. These are 

 made deliciously fragrant by the l)l()om 

 on an advance plant. 



Mr. Craig says it will be a great 

 Easter.
