carnations and roses and holly. Some 

 excellent Gros Colman grapes were used 

 and showed up well in the scarlet set- 

 ting. 



S. J. Goddard had extra good Cardinal, 

 Victory, Harry Fenn and Helen God- 

 dard carnations. 



"William Sim had an immense quantity 

 of single violets of first quality and 

 could have sold many more. 



Galvin had numerous finely berried 

 hollies in tubs. His White Perfection, 

 Beacon and Evangeline carnations from 

 Peter Fisher were excellent. Beacon 

 promises to be a wonderful scarlet and 

 will be extensively grown another sea- 

 son. 



William H. Elliott had a magnificent 

 lot of Richmond, among other roses. 

 Some Safrano and Bon Silene from his 

 Madburv, N. H., establishment took 

 well. Quite a few critical buyers pre- 

 ferred Richmond to Beauty. 



Welch Bros, report that the volume of 

 business they transacted broke all pre- 

 vious records. Their extensive new 

 quarters were none too large. Their 

 Beauties were especially fine, as also was 

 Richmond. They handled many thou- 

 sands of lily of the valley from Carl 

 Jurgens. Their poinsettias were extra 

 fine and in green stock, wreathing, etc., 

 they did an immense trade, also in pot 

 plants. 



Some of the best poinsettias seen 

 came from Dolansky, William Walke, 

 John McFarland and W. W. Edgar Co. 



Thomas Roland, of Nahant, had, as 

 usual, a grand lot of Lorraine begonias, 

 including the white Turnford Hall va- 

 riety. Erica melanthera, azaleas, poin- 

 .settias, Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora, cycla- 



mens, Cypripedium insigne and other 

 plants. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. were more than 

 satisfied with their first Christmas trade 

 in cut flowers. Their Beauty and Rich- 

 mond roses, valley, chrysanthemums and 

 carnations were of fine quality. In holly 

 and other greenery, in which they are 

 specialists, they were almost swamped 

 with orders, but managed to fill practi- 

 cally all but very late ones. 



Scarlet, yellow and white tulips and 

 Trumpet Major narcissi came from sev- 

 eral growers, including H. W. Vose, 

 Hyde Park; Tailby & Son and Mann 

 Bros. 



Especially fine violets, among many 

 others, came from A. W. Kidder, Wm. 

 Spillsbury, H, F. Woods, Malcolm Orr 

 and Thomas Pegler. 



William Nicholson had some splendid 

 Harry Fenn, Victory, Robert Craig, Ar- 

 istocrat, After Glow and other novelties 

 in carnations which brought fancy prices. 



Farquhar & Co. had a big lot of Lor- 

 raine begonias and cyclamen from their 

 Roslindale greenhouses. 



Daniel Iliffe has recently finished pip- 

 ing a house for William Capstick, Au- 

 burndale, and a dwelling for Thomas Ca- 

 pers, Wellesley Hills. He also hsis sup- 

 plied piping and ventilating apparatus 

 for a grapery for James Dowe, Beverly 

 Farms. 



E. L. Beard, for many years with the 

 Shady Hills Nursery Co. and formerly 

 of the firm of Temple & Beard, is now 

 in business on his own account as land- 

 scape architect, etc., with oflSces at 155 

 Milk street. 



One of the finest ranges of glass on a 

 private estate in New England will be 



erected next season for H. C. Frick, the 

 Pittsburg steel magnate, at Prides, 

 Mass., by T. W. Weathered & Co. 



The Gardeners and Florists' Club 

 meeting on January 15 will prove espe- 

 cially interesting. It will be ladies' 

 night, the newly elected oflScers are to 

 be installed and J. K. M. L. Farquhar 'b 

 stereopticon lecture on Italian gardens 

 will be worth a long journey to see and 

 hear. 



In the seed trade bowling league con- 

 test on December 19 R. & J. Farquhar 

 & Co. tieam beat H. E. Fiske Co. by 

 1,254 to 1,150 and Park Street Flower 

 Market managed to defeat T. W. Emer- 

 son & Co. by 1,276 to 1,247. 



The Toronto G>nvention. 



On account of .the meeting of the 

 American Carnation Society in Toronto, 

 January 22 to 25, New England lines 

 have made a rate of one fare and one- 

 third for the round trip on the certificate 

 plan. This will make the round-trip 

 rate from Boston via West Shore route 

 $16.50, and a corresponding reduction 

 from other points. Tickets will be good 

 leaving January 18 to 24 and are good 

 returning to leave at any time within 

 three days after the close of the meet- 

 ing. Trains leave Boston at 4:30 and 

 6:19 p. m., arriving in Toronto the next 

 morning. 



If all intending to go to Toronto will 

 notify William Nicholson, Framingham, 

 of their intention as soon as possible he 

 will be pleased to make all necessary ar- 

 rangements. Prospects are good for a 

 large New England delegation.
