and is due in Washington at 9:55 p. m. 

 The following, among others, are plan- 

 ning to make the trip: Peter Fisher, 

 M. A. Patten, William Nicholson, A. 

 Roper, S. J. Goddard, E. Allan Peirce, 

 George E. Buxton, E. A. Strout, Bidde- 

 ford. Me.; Mitchell, Waterville, Me.; 

 Midgley, Worcester; H. F. Littlefield, 

 W. J. Stewart, William Sim, W. H. El- 

 liott and F. N. Sanborn. Several others 

 are also hoping to go. 



Cut blooms from Boston and vicinity 

 promise to be less numerous than would 

 be the case were the time for staging 

 them not put so early as Tuesday, Jan- 

 uary 28, at 1 p. m. Growers here do not 

 expect to be able to ship their flowers to 

 arrive in season, as they cannot be sent 

 on Sunday. Several novelties will be sent 

 from Boston and vicinity. Roper's Bay 

 State is in fine shape and will no doubt 

 be keenly scrutinized. 



Various Notes. 



David F. Roy, for nineteen years in 

 charge of the Converse estate and Pine 

 Bank park. Maiden, assumes the super- 



intendency of the Converse estate at 

 Marion, Mass., in a few days. 



The two committees from the flower 

 markets, which have been considering the 

 holding of a. combined exhibition, have 

 dropped the matter for the present. The 

 Park Street market will go ahead with a 

 show of its own, to be held on or about 

 February 29. A schedule of prizes is 

 being arranged and will be ready in a 

 few days. The committee in charge are 

 S. J. Goddard, W. H. Elliott and William 

 Sim. 



There was a large attendance at Hor- 

 ticultural hall January 18, to listen to 

 the regular Saturday lecture, which was 

 by Prof. F. C. Sears, of Amherst, on 

 "Opportunities for Commercial Apple 

 Growing in New England. ' ' A long and 

 animate discussion followed the lecture. 

 The San Jose scale came in for consid- 

 erable attention. The lecturer advo- 

 cated the Ume and sulphur wash, but 

 several speakers stated that Scalecide was 

 an effective remedy and easily prepared 

 and applied. Robert Cameron's lecture 

 on "Annuals and Biennials" will attract 



a big audience January 25. An exhibi- 

 tion the same day in the main hall prom- 

 ises to be an excellent one. 



H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is bringing 

 in some double violets of splendid qual- 

 ity at present. Mr. Calder is a first-class 

 grower of violets. 



Backer & Co. are still raising seedling 

 carnations. Some are exceptionally 

 promising. Their blooms of standard 

 sorts are of the usual high grade. 



Seed merchants report that seeds of 

 many kinds are arriving unusually late 

 and it will be impossible to fill early or- 

 ders in full, owing to non-arrival of some 

 kinds. 



A prominent Brookline private gar- 

 dener is a candidate for the position of 

 superintendent of the Boston Public 

 Gardens and his friends are hopeful of 

 his securing it. 



Up to date we have had a remarkably 

 open winter, with no snow during Jan- 

 uary. As a rule, the carnation conven- 

 tion precipitates a snow storm, but we 

 hope this year may prove an exception 

 to the rule. W. N. Cbaio.
