fci'l coiifidi'iit that a nuniher of cliaiif^i'S 

 will 1)0 fortlicoining before long, in 

 s]tite of the fact that some nurserymen, 

 citrus {>ro\vers and two orchid firms sup- 

 ]>ort the (|uariintine. Orchid specialists 

 are amused at the claims that orchid 

 seedlings, mainly cattleyas, can be flow- 

 ered in three and a lialf years. The 

 writer lias flowered one or two hybrids 

 in that time, usually not of the best 

 i|uality. but an average of eight years 

 is necessary to flower the average cat- 

 tleya hybrids, and the (juestion is, if 

 the quarantine is retained unmodified 

 as regards orchids, who will support 

 orchid seedling raisers for the next six 

 or eight years until their seedlings 

 bloom f 



W. N. Craig spoke before the Par- 

 ents' and Teachers' Association of 

 Wakefield on "Gardening for Pleasure 

 and Profit," May 23. 



At the ladies' night of the Gardeners' 

 and norists' Club, June 20, there will 

 be the finest entertainment ever given 

 on such an occasion. J. Harris, of 

 Penn's, knows how to secure an ag- 

 gregation of talent and a rousing at- 

 tendaTice is certain. The Swedish glee 

 club, of thirty voices, should jirove es- 

 pecially good. 



Carbone's deserve commendation for 

 the splendid stand they have taken in 

 advertising tliat they will hereafter re- 

 fuse to carry or sell any mountain lau- 

 rel, ground pine or mayHowers. Who 

 will be the next up-to-date firm to come 

 in line? 



It is most regret t.'tble to note the in- 

 creasing tendency to discourage the 

 sending of flowers to funerals. In one 

 issue of last week's Boston Tr.'inscrijit, 

 two-thirds of the whole number of ol)it- 

 naries containecl the t(to common 

 "Kindly omit flowers," or, "Friends 

 are earnestly recpiested not to send 

 flowers."' lu .•in issue of the Boston 

 Hertibi, .May IS, ;ill but four of the 

 death notices contained the same lines. 

 Of course, many flowers are sent in spite 

 of these notices, but what is the reason 

 for the increased use of such notices and 

 what call be done to discourage their use 

 among the well to-do cl;isses.' "S;iy It 

 with I'lowers"' and "Kindly omit ilow- 

 ers"' ill the same cdluiiiu jar, to say the 

 least. 



The K. (Sl .1. l"'ar(niliar Co. reiiorts an 

 exceptionally large sale of trees and 

 shrubs this season. Khododendrons, of 

 which the companv grew an extensive 

 stock from seed, have sold extremely 

 well. Of these about ()0,000 are grown
