F. B. Cannell, base soloist; the Brook- 

 line male quartet, a ladies' mandolin 

 club, and Miss Elizabeth Pooler, who 

 proved inimitable as a reader and was 

 enthusiastically applauded. An imme- 

 diate adjournment to the dancing hall 

 was made at the close of the entertain- 

 ment, and Parvers' orchestra provided 

 splendid music for those who desired to 

 trip the light fantastic. Everyone 

 voted the evening a most delightful one, 

 and many wishes were expressed that 

 the club would soon arrange for another 

 banquet. 



Much of the success of the evening is 

 due to President Wheeler, who put much 

 hard work upon the arrangements at a 

 very busy season. He had an excellent 

 corps of willing assistants, to whom 

 much praise also should be given. The 

 reception committee consisted of F. E. 

 Palmer, chairman; Messrs. Wilfred 

 Wheeler, O. Lumsden, Peter Miller, 

 H. E. Tyler, R. S. Edgar and Duncan 

 Finlayson. The decorating committee 

 were David Lumsden, chairman; Wil- 

 Uan> Sim and Duncan Finlayson. Danc- 

 ing committee, floor director, Peter 

 Miller; aids, Joshua Lawson, H. H. 

 Batsch, K. S. Edgar, W. F. Collins and 

 James Mortimer. 



Various Notes. 



William Nicholson is still cutting 

 quantities of high class marguerites. 

 At Easter he marketed 12,000 of these," 

 manv selling at $4 per hundred. 



Herbert E. Tyler is convalescing from 

 a severe sickness, typhoid fever being 

 narrowly escaped. 



Carbone is showing some very nice 

 gloxinias at present, plants not so much 

 used as they might be in the Boston 

 stores. 



John W. Foote has almost recovered 

 from his recent sickness. He has prac- 

 tically decided to locate at Reading, 

 Mass. 



The Public Gardens in Boston are now 

 at their gayest with fine displays of 

 tulips, hyacinths and narcissi. 



N. F. McCarthy & Co.'s auctions are 

 being well supported this spring, nur- 

 sery stock of all sorts realizing good 

 prices.

 directors of the Boston Co-operative 



THE Florists* Supply House of gmerica

Flower Growers' Association took place 

 on April 29. The reports heard were of 

 a most encouraging nature. 



Houghton & Clark had a fine lot of 

 choice amaryllis in their windows the 

 past week. 



J. T. Butterworth, of South Framing- 

 ham, is sending some extra fine Cattleya 

 Mossiafi and C. Mendelii to the market 

 at present. Wheeler & Co., of Waban, 

 are also cutting some splendid cattleyas. 



Peirce Bros. ' fine new auto delivery 

 car attracted much favorable notice 

 when it made its first trip to the Park 

 street market last week. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, on May 15, is likely 

 to call out a big attendance. Enthusi- 

 asm such as that created by the late 

 banquet is contagious, and a further 

 fillip to the membership will be one re- 

 sult. E. O. Orpet will be the speaker 



of the evening and his subject should 

 prove of vital importance to all club 

 members. W. N. Craig. 



NEW YORK'S SPRING SHOW. 



The sixth annual exhibition of the 

 Horticultural Society of New York will 

 be held in the New York Botanical 

 Garden on Wednesday and Thursday, 

 May 9 and 10, opening at one o'clock on 

 Wednesday. 



The schedule for the exhibition is a 

 repetition of that which was in force last 

 year, when a very successful exhibition 

 resulted. The schedule is divided into 

 twenty-six classes which are in two sec- 

 tions, one open to all and the other ex- 

 cluding all who grow plants or flowers 

 for sale. The classes are duplicated 

 Throughout. The printed schedule will 

 be issued in the course of a few days. 

 Leonard Barron, Sec'y.
