cellent one, did not break up until a 

 late hour. Exhibits came from several 

 growers in addition to the geranium 

 plants. Duncan Finlayson was awarded 

 a report of merit for splendid plants of 

 Dendrobium Phaleenopsis. 



Various Notes. 



The directors of the Music hall mar- 

 ket report a splendid business since they 

 moved into their new quarters. They 

 have secured several new stallholders 

 recently. 



John ^. M. L. Farquhar sailed from 

 Europe on October 16, and is expected 

 home October 25. He has traversed 

 much new ground this season and se- 

 cured some desirable novelties for his 

 firm. 



At the exhibition in Horticultural hall 

 on October 10 and 11, Blue Hill Nurs- 

 eries secured a certificate of merit for 

 Aconitum Fischeri; and J. C. Forbes, a 

 similar award for excellent seedling dah- 

 lias. 



William Nicholson, during his recent 

 European trip, visited the celebrated 

 Shrewsbury show in England, which he 

 pronounced the most marvelous he had 



ever seen, also the Royal Caledonian So- 

 ciety 's show in Edinburgh. He saw some 

 houses of American carnations grown by 

 A. F. Dutton, which were of as fine 

 quality as grown here. These were 

 planted out in benches, and houses and 

 heaters were of the American pattern. 

 At Paris he saw the finest bedding dur- 

 ing his trip. 



A. H. Hews & Co. are experiencing a 

 very heavy demand for pots and pans 

 and can hardly ship orders fast enough. 



H. A. Jahn's new white seedling car- 

 nation is doing well at New Bedford and 

 proinises to be heard from during the 

 coming season. 



The annual chrysanthemum show at 

 Horticultural hall occurs on November 2, 

 3 ana 4. The decorated dinner tables 

 on the second day promise to be a big 

 feature. While less big blooms and 

 specimen plants may be shown, other 

 miscellaneous classes will make up for 

 any deficiency. 



A call on Duncan Finlayson, at the 

 Larz Anderson estate in Brookline the 

 past week, found everything in the 

 greenhouses in excellent condition. 

 Chrysanthemums, carnations and roses 



were extra good. In the orchid depart- 

 ment were some splendid Dendrobium 

 Phalsenopsis, Cattleya labiata, Oncidium 

 Rogersii, etc. A first-class bench of ca- 

 lauthes was also noted. Two late divi- 

 sions of grapes were fine. Especially 

 good were Lady Hastings, Gros Colmar, 

 Black Alicante, Muscat of Alexandria 

 and Gros Maroc. W. N. Cbaio. 



HOLLYHOCKS. 



I notice an inquiry about hollyhocks 

 in the Review. Some time ago^ in Eng- 

 land, these used to be a very popular 

 plant, but the "rust" almost entirely 

 destroyed them for some years, so that 

 hardly any were ever seen; but they 

 appear to be coming into favor again, 

 as the disease is more successfully dealt 

 with than formerly. To be free from 

 disease, it is better to treat the plant 

 as an annual, sowing the seed in heat 

 in January, and when an inch or so 

 high, transplanting singly to small pots 

 and given about three inches of space 

 in boxes or pans. Keep them growing 

 under glass in this way until they are of 

 good size with several large leaves; then
