Among miscellaneous flowers are not- 

 ed some blue marguerites, AgathsBa 

 coelestis, yellow and white marguerites, 

 myosotis, wallflower, gypsophila, bache- 

 lor's buttons, stocks, snapdragons, calen- 

 dulas and mignonette. An increased 

 supply of callas is hard to move and 

 liliums are not in good demand. 



Small lots of cattleyas are seen, but 

 the demand for these is small. Valley 

 sells at $6 to $10, according to quality. 

 Among other late flowers available are 

 Acacia pubescens, amaryllis and clivias; 

 white lilac is also seen in small lots. 

 A wide range of flowering plants are 

 now offered, the most prominent being 

 hydrangeas, roses in variety, bulbous 

 plants, ericas and acacias. Also seen 

 are schizanthus, standard heliotropes 

 and geraniums, bougainvillcas, etc. Pot 

 plant trade is good. 



Club Banquet. 



Splendid weather favored the mem- 

 bers of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club for their annual banquet at Hor- 

 ticultural hall, February 28. More than 

 300 were present. As usual, the tables 

 and platform were lavishly decorated 

 with plants and cut flowers, almost 

 everything in season being represented. 



A menu which seemed to please every- 

 one was served, while an efficient or- 

 chestra furnished inspiring music. 

 Short addresses were made by William 

 P. Rich, for the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, and William H. Judd 

 and W. N. Craig, for the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club. Sickness kept away 

 Commissioner of Agriculture A. W. Gil- 

 bert, scheduled as one of the speakers. 

 Mrs. H. M. Blanche gave several de- 

 lightful solos, which were enthusiasti- 

 cally encored. C. Everett Wallace acted 

 as entertainer. 



At the close of the postprandial ex- 

 ercises the floor was cleared for danc- 

 ing and a large proportion of those pres- 

 ent indulged in it. Those who did not 

 like the fox trot and other new-fangled 

 styles found solace in the Virginia reel 

 and Highland schottische and the even- 

 ing proved to be a most enjoyable one. 



Various Notes. 



The spring show of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society will open March 

 23 and continue five days. Classes 

 numbering eighty-two are allotted to 

 bulbs, including two premiums of $300 

 each and a gold medal, and two of $200
