The Houghton-Gorney Co. reports an 

 unusual number of June wedding orders 

 —more than this firm has ever booked 

 before— and a number calling for ex- 

 tensive decorations. 



E J. Steele and wife, of Steele s 

 Pansy Gardens, Portland, Ore., were vis- 

 itors at Boston last week and were 

 shown many places of horticultural m- 



A visit made to several of the lead- 

 ing cemeteries in Boston and Brookhne 

 Memorial dav proved interesting. A 

 tremendous number of bouquets of nat- 

 ural flowers and potted plants were 

 iH.ted, but the great feature was the 

 immense display of prepared artificial 

 wreaths, crosses and sprays. \\ ax de- 

 siirns seemed to be the most favored. 

 While a few were in fairly good taste, 

 the majoritv were simply liarrowing. 

 On si.eaking to a friend who had just 

 placed a large artificial wreath on his 

 mother's grave, he ai)()logized tor do- 

 ing so, but added, "Flowers are ex- 

 pensive and if I bring a wreath or 

 bou(|uet here today, it will be com- 

 i.letelv withered tomorrow, whereas one 

 of these wreaths can be depended upon 

 to remain fresh for at least a few days 

 I love flowers as much as anyone, but 

 for Memorial day the demand is so great 

 and increases so much each year that 

 three-fourths of the graves would be 

 without tokens unless artificial mate- 

 rial was used." It is true that in New 

 England at least the supply of natural 

 flowers for Memorial day remains about 

 normal, while orders for that day have 

 a tremendous increase. It seems prob- 

 able that the use of artificial material, 

 regrettable as it may be, has come to 

 stay for some years at least. 



Those who are interested in orchids 

 and like to see a really fine display 

 should visit J. T. Buttcrworth, of Fram- 

 ingham, Mass., and see his hundreds of 

 beautifullv flowered Miltonia vcxillaria.
