 color and great seller with us. This is our first trial, and we are pleased.

tion. The question of the trade ex- 

 hibit in Mechanics building being 

 closed except to the trade found dis- 

 favor with many of the members, who 

 felt that the 8. A. F. executive com- 

 mittee was adopting a narrow policy 

 in restricting admissions and that the 

 general public should be admitted free, 

 at least some part of each day. No 

 resolution was adopted. 



Club Meeting. 



At the meeting of the Boston Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club May 19 

 there was an attendance of 120 and 

 two new members were elected. An 

 unusually fine lecture was given by 

 Charles O. Bailey, of the state forestry 

 department. There was interesting 

 discussion on the convention garden and 

 on (Tboperation with the national or- 

 ganization of gardeners. It was de- 

 cided to have a ladies' night Jun^^K. 



Exhibits included specimen Calceo- 

 laria Stewartii and standard hydran- 

 geas from Alexander McKay; Antir- 

 rhinum Nelrose from F. W. Fletcher & 

 Co., and a collection of French hydran- 

 geas and Hydrangea Otaksa, also mush- 

 rooms and Lister's tomato from W. N, 

 Craig. 



Viarious Notes. 



B. Hammond Tracy is finishing 

 planting his gladiolus bulblets this week. 

 Up to May 15 he had set out ^,500,000 

 bulbs. He says the demand for choice 

 varieties has been greater than ever. 



W. H. Elliott has completed repairs 

 on the wrecked portion of his big house 

 at Madbury, N. H., and the benches are 

 planted with roses. He still gets a su- 

 perior lot of Christie-Miller, Ward, Kil- 

 larney Queen and Blchmond roses, in 

 addition to the ordinary Killarneys. 



The Horticultural Club of Boston 

 paid a visit to South Lancaster, Mass., 

 May 20, to visit the estates of Bayard 

 Thayer and John E. Thayer, the bulb 

 displays being the special attractions. 



Visitors last week included W, Atlee 

 Burpee, David Burpee, Robert Scott, 

 Mr. and Mrs. A, B. Scott, of Phila- 

 delphia; Victor Morgan and . William

 A. F. entertainment starts oflE with two 

 $500 and three $200 contributions and

 needed.
