Delphiiiiuins arc much overdone and arc 

 also deteriorating in quality, owing to 

 the torrential rains. 



There is more variety in lilies than for 

 a long time. In addition to L. longi- 

 florum, there are outdoor L. regale and 

 indoor L. auratum and L. speciosum in 

 small lots. A few callas still arrive. 

 Valley is largely in the discard. Cat- 

 tleyas are now mainly C. gigas, but the 

 call is at present limited. 



A Fern Specialist. 



Ferns seem to grow in popularity each 

 year. Last fall it was freely predicted 

 that Boston would be swamped Avith 

 ferns, since so many growers had houses 

 of them, but for a long time they have 

 been scarce, and salable nephrolepis 

 are about the hardest i>lants to secure 

 today. The great tropical fern show in 

 Boston last Sei)teniber seemed to stimu- 

 late the demand for ferns; this really 

 means nejilirolepis, for, aside from small 

 table ferns. Idrd's-nest ferns and a com- 

 paratively limited number of the ^lex- 

 ican tree fern, Cibotium Rchiedei, about 

 all ferns grown arc nephrolejiis. 



For a considerable numl)er of years 

 Henry 11. Barrows, of Whitman, Mass., 

 has mail(> ncjiliroleius a sjjecialty and 

 here originated X. Barrowsii and, .some- 

 what later, tlie beautiful and still popu- 

 lar X. Whitmanii. Xothing but neph- 

 rolepis are grown at Whitman; one ridge 

 and furrow house measures 100x100, .and 

 there are a number of other detached 

 houses. Tlit> whole of the large house 

 is devoted to ])lants in benches, while 

 in the other houses arc many thousands 

 in pots, mainly from 2Vi-inch to 4-iiu'h 

 sizes. So strong is the call for ferns 

 this season that ^^Ir. Barrows is con- 

 stantly returning checks for orders he 

 cannot fill. 



The old Boston fern still remains the 

 largest seller. The dwarf X. bostonien- 

 sis makes an excellent pot plant and 

 is also quite popular. Xext in favor 

 comes X. Whitmanii. In addition to 

 sales of plants, Mr. Barrows has a con- 

 stant call for fronds from retailers, and 

 so great is the call that he stated that 

 if all his houses were planted with this 

 one sort for cutting, it would be easily 

 disposed of. Roosevelt closely follows 

 the Boston and Whitmanii ferns in 

 popularity, while following these are 

 Teddy, Jr., Macawii, Verona and Xor- 

 wood. The heavily crested varieties
