ited the Arnold Arboretum to view the 

 grand display of lilacs. The plants are 

 extra well flowered this year and have 

 escaped late frosts. The flowers will be 

 at their best from May 18 to May 24. 

 The collection of ornamental malus was 

 at its best May 14. The sweet-scented 

 Viburnum Carlesii, as usual, came in 

 for much favorable notice. 



Albert C. Burrafje and one or two 

 others from Boston and vicinity left 

 Sunday, May 14, to attend the hearing 

 on quarantine .37 at Washington the fol- 

 lowing day. About everyone here hopes 

 for a safe and sane modification of the 

 quarantine, which at present is an al- 

 most complete embargo on plant im- 

 ports. 



There was some agitation at ^Mothers' 

 day against "jirofiteering florists", and 

 one of the Boston journals advised peo- 

 ple to boycott carnations and wear dan- 

 delions instead, as a ]irotest. Its advice 

 seemed to be little heeded, however, for, 

 while I saw hundreds of people wearing 

 carnations or roses, I failed to see a 

 dandelion in anyone's buttonhole. There 

 has been, however, much severe criti- 

 cising of prices asked for carnations at 

 retail. Saturday, May 13, 40 cents and 

 50 cents each were the prices asked. 



Memorial day business seems des- 

 tined to eclipse all previous records 

 once more. Sales of plants in advance

are already heavy and, from the way 

 orders are pouring in, it will be a ques- 

 tion where to secure all the cut flower 

 material needed. There will be, as 

 usual, enormous numbers of "metallic 

 sympathies" offered for sale, and some 



firms expect to sell more than ever of 

 these. It would, of course, be impossible 

 to furnish cut flowers and deliver them 

 fresh to the remote points where a 

 large proportion of these artificial cre- 

 ations go. W. N. C.
