fully l)eautiful just now. The Lonicera 

 Monowi in Franklin park will be worth 

 a special visit within a few days. 



J. W. Duncan reports a considerable 

 death roll among the oaks and deciduous 

 shrubs in the park system in addition to 

 the numerous evergreens killed. We find 

 similar losses have l)een sustained in 

 many places. Pin oaks planted ten years 

 in North Easton are quite dead and 

 even maples in some cases are gone. 



The rhododendron exhibition of thj 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society will 

 be held on June 3 and 4. We fear the 

 show of these will not be up to the aver- 

 age, owing to damage sustained the past 

 winter, but herbaceous plants should 

 make a brave showing. The peony show 

 on June 10 should prove a grand one. 



Tlie e.vecutive committee of the Ameri- 

 can Rose Society will visit Hartford, 

 Conn., on June 19, and hold a business 

 flession there. They will also view Theo- 

 dore Wirth's fine rose garden, of which 

 SO many favorable comments have l)een 

 made. 



Indications at this time are that out- 

 door flowers for Memorial day vnU be 

 pone too plentiful. Such useful sorts as 

 lily of the valley, Narcissus poeticus, 

 Darwin and Gesneriana tulips, to say 

 nothing of lilac, are likely to be gone un- 



less very cool weather conditions pre- 

 vail. 



H. N. Barrows & Son's new fern, re- 

 cently certificated in Boston and now be- 

 ing ofTercd to the trade, seems destined 

 to become as popular as the Boston fern. 

 Orders are already pouring in for it, 

 many from distant points. 



The rival baseball teams from the mar- 

 kets are said to be practicing and are out 

 tor blood. We would not be surprised 

 if the victors decided to challenge the 

 Bostob- -American team to a series later 

 in the season. 



As we have been placed hors du com- 

 bat as the result of an accident, our news 

 is brief this week. We hope to be in 

 closer touch with humanity and do bet- 

 ter in our next. W, N. Craig. 



On May 9 Mr. Craig was thrown from 

 a wagon at North Easton, one rib on the 

 right side being broken and two frac- 

 tured. One finger was split open and 

 one crushed, and he sustained other cuts 

 and bruises. His own report minimizes 

 his injuries, for he narrowly escaped be- 

 ing killed. We are glad to report that he 

 i> able to be out. — Ed.

The Market 



Carnations to peddle! and lilies to burn 

 were offered in the flower market last 

 week, with roses about as bad, and there 

 was considerable complaint among the 

 retailers about things being unusually 

 slow, although funeral work at the last 

 of the week helped out some. However, 

 while they had a little idle time gossip 

 was in vogue, and you must take; the fol- 

 lowing only as gossip. 



Various Notes. 



The stock company which is to take 

 hold of the Lorch place has been organ- 

 ized and almost all of the stock taken 

 up. Another rumor is that arrange- 

 ments are under way to organize a stock 

 company to buy the Sidney Gibbs prop- 

 erty and put up several additional houses 

 for cut flowers for this market. Also 

 that next fall will see another whole- 

 saler to sell the output of these nefw 

 concerns, or at least a portion of it. 



John Orth, the business manager of 

 the McKeesport Floral Co., is a very 

 busy fellow at this time ; lie finished 

 planting his carnations last Friday night 

 in time to get under cover from the big 

 rain storm. He is getting the material
