At the present date. May 18, it looks 

 as though lilacs, Narcissus poeticus and 

 Darwin and cottage tulips, among out- 

 door flowers, would be in their prime

 just commencing to open in watm loca- 

 tions. So late is the season at Tewks- 

 bury, Mass., that M. A. Patten did not 

 start planting out carnations until the 

 present week,' the ground previously be- 

 ing too wet and cold. 



As the result of a canvass made by 

 a committee of the board of trustees of
