Various Notes. 



Galvin had the decorations at the Wil- 

 sou-Purdon wedding in Trinity chareh 

 on October 18. "White chrysanthemums 

 and white roses were largely used. 



Six of the big new houEes being erected 

 by A. C. Burrage, the Boston copper 

 magnate, in Halifax, Mass., are nearing 

 completion. Work is commencing on two 

 more. The dimensions are 40x300. Vio- 

 lets, cucumbers, lettuce and a few other 

 vegetables will be grown. A battery of 

 three powerful steam boilers will furnish 

 heat. Mr. Burrage has purchased 3,000 

 acres of land in Halifax and will later 

 develop a fine country estate there. 



Peter Fisher's new salmon-pink carna- 

 tion, No. 10, is taking remarkably well. 

 It has held its color well during the re- 

 cent long spell of clear, warm weather, 

 while Enchantress has faded out con- 

 siderably. 



Quite a number of entries have been 

 received for the coming chrysanthemum 

 show, some from new exhibitors. There 

 is a marked decrease in the production of 

 big specimen blooms on private estates 

 this season, medium-size flowers being 

 preferred. This will aflFect the cut bloom 

 department considerably. 



A delegation from the plant committee 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety visited the Plant estate, Groton, 

 Conn., on October 25 to inspect houses of 

 single-stemmed chrysanthemums. All the 

 best standard varieties and a number of 

 newer sorts were seen and the quality 

 was even better than in 1904. T. W. 

 Head, the superintendent, will exhibit 

 largely at the coming New York and 

 Boston shows. 



Nicotiana Sanderae, which was not by 

 any means a success during the hot 

 weather in July and August, has more 



than redeemed itself by the splendid 

 show it has made during September and 

 October. A bed we looked at on Octo- 

 ber 23 was still a blaze of bloom. While 

 the colors were not particularly pleasing, 

 the wonderful wealth of flowers produced 

 for four or five months should commend 

 it to many. Under artificial light it la 

 quite pleasing and lasts well in a cut 

 state. Planted on the edge of shrub- 

 beries, or in partially shaded beds, it has 

 been a great success in Massachusetts. 



Sullivan & McGrath, at the L. H. Fos- 

 ter stand, in Dorchester, have a fine stock 

 of nephrolepis, dracsenas, rubbers and 

 other foliage plants. Their new sport 

 from the Anna Foster fern, named Dor- 

 chester, keeps true and is a very graceful 

 fern, likely to take when put on the 

 market.

The leading houses in the seed trade 

 and the two flower markets have organ- 

 ized 1 bawling teams and a schedule of

 alleys, Hanover street, for Tuesday and

 fought and draw large audiences. The
