of the best the club has ever held, beingi 

 enthusiastic throughout. Three new 

 members were elected. The report of 

 the finance committee in regard to the 

 coming chrysanthemum show was quite 

 satisfactory. J. K. M. L. Farquhar was 

 the speaker of the evening, telling of his 

 trip to European floricultural centers. 

 Kenneth Finlayson spoke of Chrysan- 

 themum leucanthemum superbum as a 

 magnificent plant. He saw it in bloom 

 in Europe, last year, from August to 

 November, height two and one-half to 

 five feet, flowers five to six inches across, 

 lon^ spikes fine for cutting. W. N. 

 Craig exhibited a bunch of Bouvardia 

 Humboldtii, also a spike of Cattleya 

 3owringeana carrying forty-seven flow-* 

 «r8. 



Quite a number of visits will shortly 

 be made to various private estates by

Wm. R. Nicholson, Wm. Sim and 

 Allen Peirce are a committee appointed 

 by the Park Street Market to assist in 

 the entertainment of the C. S. A. 



Lord & Burnham Co. have a contract 

 to build a greenhouse for C. P. Grim- 

 mer, the Boykton street florist, at 

 Jamaica Plain, Mass. 



Elisha Nye Peirce, of Waltham, is 

 very critically ill. The directorate of 

 the Park Street Market met at Mr. 

 Peirce 's home on October 20 for a busi- 

 ness meeting and stayed several hours. 

 ^ve>; While their veteran host was far too 

 ' (-IU to leave his couch, he greatly en- 

 "^joyed the visit of his confreres. 



William Sim is sending -in some very 

 fine chrysanthemums to the Park Street 

 Market. Perry Green, of Quincy, has 

 Bent the best to the new market. John 

 McFarland is shipping some good Bon- 

 naffons taken from the crown bud to the 

 latter place. The mignonette coming 

 from Burgess and Cooney is fine and

 a good call for Mme. Chatenay. 



Galvin, Doyle, McMulkin and Wax 

 Bros, are making orchids quite a feature 

 in their window decoration?. Cattleyas 

 and Oncidium varicosum Rogersii are 

 chiefly used. 



W. B. Arnold, of the Rockland Green- 

 houses, has a fine striped sport from 

 Lawson carnation which is a grand sight 

 just now. They have some 2,p00 plants 

 and are booking many orders for it. 

 This variety was certificated on January 

 30 in Boston. 



McMulkin is ui-ing some fine Gros 

 Colmar grapes in his window arrange- 

 ments this week. He is also showing 

 some fine Gloire de Lorraine begonias. 



Doyle seems to have a monopoly of 

 Bouvardia Humboldtii, sometimes called 

 japminiflora. This is a very old sort, 

 iDut a first-claFs one. Anderson & Wil- 

 liams grow it in quantity. 



The street fakirs are now feeling hap-

 dozen, roses at 10 cents a dozen and
