markably fine display at present in the 

 grounds of Dr. F. Harris Kennedy, 

 where iris gardens are open to the pub- 

 lic for the benefit of the RadclifEe Col- 

 lege endowment fund. The gardens 

 here contain a wonderful collection and 

 are planted in true Japanese style. 



This weelc the National Educational 

 Union is holding its convention in Bos- 

 ton with headquarters at Mechanics' 

 building and Horticultural hall. Sev- 

 eral thousand delegates are present. In 

 Horticultural hall the main exhibition 

 hall looks attractive. A model cottage 

 is attractively placed and the grounds 

 tastefully planted with evergreens and 

 flowering deciduous shrubs by the Little 

 Tree Farms, Framingham. There are 

 excellent displays of wild flowers and 

 other attractive features. 



Douglas Eccleston, of Beverly Farms, 

 for a number of years superintendent of 

 the noted A. C. Burrage orchid collec- 

 tion, has resigned his position and has 

 started in business. He will make a 

 specialty of native ferns and flowers and 

 will naturalize them on new and old 

 estates. His excellent artistic taste in 

 staging the late wild flower, orchid and 

 other large displays shows how well 

 fitted he is for this special line of work. 

 Paul de Nave and George I 'Anson, of 

 the Burrage staff, have also resigned. 

 Fred Pocock succeeds Douglas Eccles- 

 ton as superintendent. 



One of the finest batches of gloxinias 

 I have seen for some time is at the 

 place of H. J. Borowski & Sons, Ros- 

 lindale. The plants have r.plendid fo- 

 liage and are finely flowered. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club met June 28 

 and completed all arrangements for the 

 grand club picnic at Cunningham park, 

 East Milton, July 20. There are twen- 

 ty-five athletic events on the sports 

 list, including three baseball games and 

 a swimming contest. 



The receivership proceedings in the 

 i;ise of Janiten & Kunan, of Arlington, 

 are noted on another page of this issue

 rassments." W. N. C.

The evidence is that almost every- 

 thing that has been offered in the Classi-

 readers of The Review there is someone, 

 usually many someones, who are short
