vitellinum majus, oncidiums and zygope- 

 talums. 



John McFarland has, aa usual, several 

 thousand very fine poinsettias. Some of 

 them are now nearly ready to cut, also a 

 good Jot of Cypripedium insigne. 



Bobert Montgomery is selling some 

 splendid Bride, Maid and Liberty roses 

 at the new market. He is also trying a 

 few Richmond, which are doing well. 



A rousing meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club is assured for Novem- 

 ber 21. In addition to Prof. Watson's 

 lecture and the annual election of officers, 

 there are other attractions which should 

 draw an attendance of over 100. A con- 

 siderable accession of new members will 

 again be one of the features. 



A good number of chrysanthemum 

 plants are seen at the stores and markets 

 at present. With few exceptions they are 

 not well grown, being of a poorer shape 

 and carrying very little foliage. Plants 

 are usually field-grown and potted up in 

 September. If the growers would keep 

 them in pots all the time or plant in a 

 greenhouse bench and pot up with good 

 balls, some presentable plants might be 

 seen. The singles, anemones and pom- 

 pons should prove profitable if flowered 

 in 6-inch or 8-inch pots and treated as 

 suggested. 



iijexander Montgomery and Wm. 

 Nicholson report a splendid show at 

 Philadelphia and excellent promises of 

 flupport for the coming meetings of the 

 carnation and rose societies. 



Galvin is showing some very fine spikes 

 of zygopetalum grown by Reed, of Whit- 

 man. 



We have an idea that New England 

 has at least one rose house larger than 

 the "largest in the world." For full 

 particulars apply to Wm. H. Elliott, 

 Brighton, Mass., or better still, call at 

 Madbury, N. H. 



Members of the New England Ceme- 

 tery Association held a field day at North 

 Easton .on November 8. 'The Ames 

 Shovel Works and the estates of Mrs. 

 Oliver Ames and F. L. Ame« were visited. 



N. F. McCarthy & Co. held auction 

 sales of hardy roses and other Dutch 

 grown stock on November 3 and 7. Very 

 fair prices were realized. 



Three additional independent candi- 

 dates are in the field, all for trustees 

 for three years, at the coming election 

 of the Massachusetts Horti<>.ultural So- 

 ciety on November 18. They are Peter 

 Fisher, C. W. Parker and A. H. Fewkes. 

 W. Wheeler is not now a candidate. 



Mrs. A. W. Blake exhibited a handsome 

 specimen of Zygopetalum Mackaii at 

 Horticultural hall on October 28, which 

 received a cultural certificate. 



Stockholders at the Park street flower 

 market elected the following officers at 

 the recent annual meeting : President, W. 

 C. Stickel; vice-president, W«n. Nichol* 

 son; treasurer, Geo. Cartwright; direc- 

 tors, E. Sutermeister, L. W. Mann, W. 

 W. Edgar, Alex Montgomery, A. Kidder 

 and Allen Peirce.

CoLDWATER, MiCH. — ^Van Aken Bros. 

 had a very attractive and successful 

 flower show at their Elkhart branch last 

 week. This week the show is on at their 

 home place here. 



Cincinnati, O. — Miss Norma Ewing, 

 daughter of J. W. Ewing, was injur^ 

 in a peculiar way one evening last week. 

 As she was crossing the street her foot 

 became entangled in a rope trailing from 

 a passing wagon and she was dragged 

 some distance before the team could be 

 stopped. 



Elbekon, N. J. — The Elberon Horti- 

 cultural Society has been organized with 

 thirty charter members; W. D. Robert- 

 son, president; Thomas Hall, vice-presi- 

 dent; W. H. Waite, secretary. The new 

 society will give displays of fruits, flow- 

 ers and vegetables. Members of the or- 

 ganization hail from Elberon, West End, 

 Norwood Park, Allenhurst, Deal, Eaton- 

 town and Long Branch.
