are among 



Mr. Hoffman 's decorations 

 the finest in the city. 



Houghton & Clark had an attractive 

 window of imantophyllums last week, 

 and some fine amaryllises. 



Neil B. Glass, employed at Montrose 

 Greenhouses, during a temporary fit of 

 insanity threw himself out of a third- 

 story window February 18 and sustained 

 such severe injuries that he died at the 

 Boston city hospital February 26. Mr. 

 Glass was a native of Scotland, a first-

class workman and much esteemed by 

 all who knew him. He was a member 

 of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 and attended the meeting January 15. 



A recent call on Joshua Lawson, at 

 E. J. Milton 's in Brookline, found the 

 cattleyas, which are the special feature 

 here, in fine condition. In the center 

 stage in the cattleya house the plants 

 are tied on rafts, six or seven plants to 

 each, and seemed in excellent health. 

 Dendrobiums and some other orchids are 

 also grown. A fine batch of specimen 

 cyclamens was noted. 



At Mrs. H. Dumaresq's, in Chestnut 

 Hill, where William Downs presides, we 

 found excellent batches of Primula ob- 

 conica, cyclamens and other seasonable 

 plants. In carnations, Patten, Lawson 

 and Enchantress were doing especially 

 well. Another season Beacon and 

 Winsor will be tried. Bridesmaid and 

 Eichmond are mostly grown in the rose 

 house. A batch of exceedingly fine 

 specimens of Lorraine begonias were 

 just on the wane. Nectarines were just 

 coming into flower. Mr. Downs' cot- 

 tage is both internally and externally 

 one of the most attractive we have seen. 



February broke all records for low 

 temperature for a long term of years. 

 In North Easton we recorded zero or 

 below on twelve nights, the lowest be- 



ing 20 degrees. March is rather severe, 

 but there is no very springlike feeling 

 in the air yet. 



Thomas Koland, of Nahant, has a 

 finer stock than ever of Easter plants, 

 including roses, azaleas, mahemias, 

 marguerites and other serviceable stock 

 all finely grown. W. N. Ceaiq.

The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 February 15, at the Oriental hotel. There 

 was a large attendance. Seven were 

 nominated for membership. The special 

 prize for carnations arranged for effect 

 was won by Valentine Clevis. Lawson 

 carnation, shown by William Eccles, 

 scored eighty-nine points ; Phoenix Roebe- 

 lenii, by Thomas Harrison, scored 

 eighty- four points; mignonette, by A. 

 MacKenzie, eighty-four points; lily 

 of the valley, by A. Janache, sev- 

 enty-nine points; double violets, by 

 H. Matz, seventy-six points. Felix 

 Mense was awarded a cultural certificate 

 for a bunch of 100 Princess of Wales 

 violets. A large collection of carnations 

 Avas staked by Charles Bertanzel, for 

 which he received honorable mention. 

 The judges were: J. Ingram, S. J. Tre- 

 pass and J. Everett. 



A. Janache gave an interesting talk on
