Qub Meeting. 



E. O. Orpet's talk at the last club 

 meeting, briefly referred to in our last 

 notes, was largely reminiscent of his 

 bothy experiences under Stevens, of 

 Trentham, and other English and Irish 

 places, and young men of the present 

 day would scarcely care to pass through 

 similar ordeals. Both the lecturer and 

 F. E. Palmer would appear to have been 

 especially unfortunate in the class of 

 bothies which fell to their lot, but while 

 Mr. Palmer considered them unfit for 

 any young man of the present day, Mr. 

 Orpet held a contrary opinion, and said 

 if one of his own sons had a predilection 

 for gardening he would send him to 

 England for a year to two for a starter. 

 Mr. Cameron quoted F. W. Burbridge as 

 to how a gardener ought to be made, and 

 Mr. Westwood dilated on the superior 

 excellence of Scotch over English bothies. 

 Our own experiences of bothy life were 

 very different from those expressed by 

 ^Ir. Orpet and are among our most pleas- 

 ant memories, although time would not 

 allow us to express them. 



J. T. Butterworth 's white Cattleya 

 MossiiB worthily received a report of 

 superior merit. We doubt if a better 

 plant of it is to be had in America. A 

 plant of C. Mossia; in an 8-inch pot, 

 carrying forty flowers, was an excellent 

 sample of good culture, from the same 

 grower. He had other equally good 

 specimens at home. E. T. McGorum's 

 giant White Perfection candytuft showed 

 extra good culture. Blue Hill Nurseries, 

 among other perennials, had Aruncus as-

tilboides Keiffei, with very finely divided 

 foliage, accorded a report of merit. 



It was voted to donate a special prize 

 for the coming meeting of the American 

 Peony Society, as well as to entertain 

 visiting members at a dinner. The new 

 members elected raised the club member- 

 ship to 327. An attractive program is 

 being prcpnred for the June meeting. 

 There will be no meetings in July and 

 August. 



Arnold Arboretum. 



The Arnold Arboretum has been the 

 Mecca for flower lovers of late, and we 

 do not think it ever looked more at- 

 tractive. The display of mains, pyrus 

 and prunus has been especially fine, but 

 most of these are now over. Bechtel's 

 double-flowering American crab, with its 

 beautiful, delicate pink flowers, being a 

 notable exception. The shrubby loni- 

 ceras are very beautiful, L. Ruprechti- 

 ana, Tartarica, Morrowi, Candida and 

 bella albida being especially good. 

 Cornus florida, which for several years 

 has had most of its flower buds killed, 

 is this season white with bloom. 



The lilacs are, we think, better flow- 

 ered than ever in the collection of some- 

 thing like 150 varieties. It is hard to 

 confine the selection to a few sorts, but 

 the following are very fine: Macros-
