and Maids are now too many for require- 

 ments and have dropped considerably in 

 price. Carnations are in oversupply and 

 good flowers are now down to $2 per 

 hundred. Enchantress is coming of 

 rather a pale color and preference for 

 some time will be given to Fair Maid, 

 which holds its color better in summer. 



Violets are getting smaller and some 

 growers are almost finished with the sin- 

 gle ones. Stock from frames is of best 

 quality and realizes 75 cents per hun- 

 dred. Sweet peas are fine and, with vio- 

 lets, sell as well as anything on the mar- 

 ket. Lily of the valley is ample for all 

 requirements. 



Narcissi and tulips are still a little 

 too abundant and selling low, but there 

 is less of a glut of these than at Easter. 

 Outdoof flowers of narcissi will soon be 

 on the market, as some are already in 

 bloom. Antirrhinum is seen of fine qual- 

 ity. The dark shades sell slowly, but 

 white and yellow move better. There is 

 a good assortment of primroses, poly- 

 anthus, anemones, Spanish iris and other 

 seasonable flowers. 



In choice flowers cattleyas are scarce. 

 A few C. Mossiae have made their ap- 

 pearance. Gardenias are rather more 

 plentiful and sell well at the higher class 

 stores. Supplies of hardy ferns are now 

 arriving of good quality. The long spell 

 of snow made it impossible to collect 

 any of these for several months. 



We have reverted to winter; there was 

 a severe snow storm April 9 and Wednes- 

 day found the market weak, with light 

 demand. 



Lumsden'i Plans. 



David Lumsden is leaving the W. W. 

 Edgar Co., of Waverley, and it is an- 



nounced that he will shortly start, near 

 Boston, a large wholesale establishment 

 for growing plants, making ferns, palms 

 and other decorative plants his specialty. 

 He is well known as an expert grower 

 and is qualified to make a success of 

 such an undertaking. 



Varioui Notes. 



Wednesday evening, April 24, will be 

 the night of the annual banquet of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club, at Hor- 

 ticultural hall, of which the trustees have 

 given the use for the evening. Tickets 

 are procurable from ofScers and mem- 

 bers of the executive committee and in- 

 dications all point to a banner attend- 

 ance. 



The landscape gardening classes of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club have 

 just closed after a successful season. A 

 field day is being planned for April 19, 

 to either the Parkway System or the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum. 



Broad-leaved evergreens have suffered 

 rather severely here the past winter. 

 Conifers have escaped almost unscathed. 

 Crimson and other rambler roses are cut 

 down to the snow line in many places. 

 California privet has again got a black 

 eye and is killed to the ground in some 

 places. 



J. K. M. L. Farquhar visited Lenox 

 April 6 and lectured before the local 

 horticultural society there. 



At the last meeting of the board of 

 trustees of the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society it was ordered to keep the 

 library open Sunday afternoons and one 

 or two evenings per week, also to allow 

 gardeners and others to take out books 

 for purpose of study under certain re- 

 strictions. It was also voted to invite
