committee of prominent men with F. E. 

 Palmer as ''chairman was appointed to 

 attend the sessions at the state house 

 and give evidence before the commit- 

 tees if necessary. It was announced 

 that the Boston Market Gardeners' As- 

 sociation has appointed a committee to 

 oppose the proposed legislation. 



Charles W. Ross, of Newton, the lec- 

 turer of the evening, was unable to at- 

 tend, but sent an interesting and prac- 

 tical paper on "Road Construction," 

 read by James Morton Strong, which the 

 members greatly enjoyed. A good dis- 

 cussion followed. The membership was 

 further swollen by the addition of eleven 

 new members. It was announced that at 

 the next meeting carnations will be the 

 subject, with a specialist as lecturer. 

 The landscape classes, it was stated, are 

 making excellent headway and members 

 are now engaged in drawing plans. 



There was an unsually fine lot of ex- 

 hibits, as follows: 



Beacon and Evangeline carnations, 

 from Peter Fisher; several vases of car- 

 nations and Violet Boston from S. J. 

 Goddard, also some grand sweet peas 

 which received a report of superior 

 merit for culture; several cattleyas and 

 four varieties of coelogyne from W. N. 

 Craig, fine Harlowarden carnations from 

 Mrs. Snow; seedling carnations from H. 

 A. Stevens Co.; Begonia Erfordii from 

 Thomas Westwood; Primula Kewensis 

 from Thomas Coles received a report of 

 superior merit. 



President Westwood appointed the 

 following committee on exhibits for the 

 year: Kenneth Finlayson, George An- 

 derson, George C. Harbison, David Lums- 

 den, H. A. Stevens, Mr. Mitchell, A. H. 



Fewkes, J. W. Duncan, Peter Fisher, R. 

 T. McGorum. 



A committee consisting of W. N. 

 Craig, John Farquhar and J. W. Dun- 

 can was appointed to prepare resolu- 

 tions on the death of Mrs. Wm. R. 

 Nicholson, Jr., Framingham, which oc- 

 curred February 19, after a short ill- 

 ness. Much sympathy is felt. Tne 

 couple had been married only a year. 



Refreshments were served as usual, 

 and it was quite late ere the meeting 

 closed. 



Various Notes. 



About a dozen members of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club attended the 

 annual banquet of the North Shore Hor- 

 ticultural Society at Manchester Febru- 

 ary 15 and reported a delightful time. 



William H. Elliott is on a visit to the 

 West Indies. At present he is in Cuba, 

 but hopes to return in good season for 

 the meeting of the American Rose So- 

 ciety in Washington. 



We find that the late George A. Suth- 

 erland was an employee of W. J. Stew- 

 art, but not a partner, as stated in last 

 week's notes. 



The annual spring exhibition of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society will 

 occur March 22 to 24 and promises to 

 be an unusually attractive one. 



The lecture at Horticultural hall 

 February 16 was by Miss Anne Withing- 

 ton on "Some Aspects of School Gar- 

 dening." In the discussion which fol- 

 lowed Robert Cameron spoke interest- 

 ingly on the practical horticultural edu- 

 cation afforded children in Jamaica, 

 which he considers much in advance of 

 anything we have in the United States. 



William C. Ward, as usual at this sea- 

 son, is marketing pansies of unusually 

 good quality in large quantities. He 

 has also some extra fine sweet peas. 



John Barr, of South Natick, while 

 devoting most of his greenhouse space 

 to carnations, has produced some hun- 

 dreds of very fine cyclamens, in the cul- 

 ture of which he is a past master. 



Few finer violets than those of William 

 Spillsburj-, of Woburn, are seen in the 

 market this season. He grows Princess 

 of Wales exclusively and finds nothing 

 to beat it. 



John McFarland has a fine house of 

 Brunner roses which he will start cut- 

 ting from in a day or two. He is one 

 of the few growers of hybrid roses for 

 the Boston market. 



Morris Hambro, late in the flower de- 

 partment at Houghton & Dutton's, will 

 open a store on School street. 



L. H. Fellows, of Hyde Park, a promi- 

 nent mushroom specialist, is on a visit 

 to Michigan, mushroom spawn selling 

 being his objective. Mr. Fellows has 

 made a good deal of spawn and has 

 great success from its use in his houses. 



Windows of dendrobiums in Galvin's 

 Tremont street store were features last 

 week. 



Peirce Bros, will have a larger and 

 finer lot of lilies than ever the coming 

 Easter. The plants are in just the right 

 stage. 



W. W. Rawson & Co. are experiencing 

 a heavy call for dahlias this season, in 

 which they are now leading specialists. 

 Their manager, Maurice Fuld, is secre- 

 tary of the New England Dahlia So- 

 ciety.
