any considerable numbers in the flower 

 markets until this season. John Mar- 

 shall, of the Fruit Hill Greenhouses, 

 Providence, is the largest shipper of 

 this splendid hardy lily, which seems 

 destined to become the most abundant 

 and popular of the genus ere long. 



Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., has had some 

 large weddings and decorations of late. 

 June business is the best on record at 

 both the Park street and Back Bay 

 stores. 



Judging from the advance sale of 

 tickets, a record attendance was ex- 

 pected at the ladies' night of the Gar- 

 deners ' and Florists ' Club, June 20. The 

 Swedish Glee Club, the Philharmonic 

 Trio and several splendid soloists and 

 instrumentalists will furnish entertain- 

 ment. Much of the program for the an- 

 nual picnic at Cunningham park, East 

 Milton, July 20, has already been pre- 

 pared. 



College commencements and the open- 

 ing of seashore and mountain resorts 

 have brought great numbers of visitors 

 to Boston from all parts of the United 

 States and Canada, and automobile 

 plates with states outside New England 

 are seen in every garage. 



On the evening of June 17, while 

 looking over the peony show, the writer 

 met visitors from parts as distant as 

 Atlanta, Ga.; Terre Haute, Ind.; Tam- 

 pa, Fla., and Tulsa, Okla., and all mar- 

 veled at the quality of peonies produced 

 here. 



Jay Morton, who is planning a great 

 arboretum for Chicago and the west, 

 has been spending some time at the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum and assistants who ac- 

 companied him are getting large sup- 

 plies of cuttings for propagation pur- 

 poses. When Mr. Morton's 400-acre ar- 

 boretum is laid out and planted, it 

 should help to make Chicago a great ar- 

 boricultural and horticultural center. 

 We all know it is now our greatest 

 floricultural center. 



Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Howard, of Mil- 

 ford, Mass., are enjoying a vacation 

 among the green mountains of Vermont, 

 making the trip by automobile. 



The store of Welch Bros. Co., on 

 Devonshire street, is a regular palm 

 emporium now. The windows and much 

 of the store are decorated with a splen- 

 did lot of kentias and other palms. 



Peter Hylen, of Randolph, is sending 

 in splendid, stocky Hydrangea otaksa, 

 most acceptable now, while flowering 

 plants are scarce. W. N. C.

March 17 th 

 We use KAIKIEOHD'B tOUUa 

 SHOT on Currant Bushes in 

 the Sprine^before the leaves are 

 started. We put It on around 

 the roots and have done it for 

 two years, and find that the 

 worms are killed before they 

 get on the bush. For potatoes 

 we put on SliUO 8KOT as soon 

 as the bugrs come, and we have 

 good vines, plenty of tubers 

 and no bugrs. It is the best 

 thlngr we have ever used. Per 

 Sow Bng'i In ari^eenlioiuMs It im sure deatli. We had a lot of them before using 

 BIiTTO SHOT but they got out where it is used.
