CONSIGNMENTS OF SELECT FLOWERS and GREENS SOLICITED 



Mention The Review when you write. 



For daybreak pink, S. J. Goddard again 

 won with Enchantress; second, Patten 

 & Co., with the same variety. For light 

 pink, Patten's Winsor beat Rose-pink 

 Enchantress from S. J. Goddard ; Patten, 

 third with Eose-pink Enchantress. A 

 splendid vase of Helen Goddard, from 

 S. J. Goddard, took first for dark pink. 

 Patten & Co. and Backer & Co. follow- 

 ing with Pink Patten. 



In the striped class. Variegated Law- 

 son, from Patten & Co., beat Mrs. Pat- 

 ten, from Backer & Co. Goddard 's Octo- 

 roon led for best vase of crimson; Har- 

 ry Fenn and Octoroon, from Patten & 

 Co., being second and third. Backer & 

 Co. took first and second for yellow with 

 Sunrise and Golden Glow, their own seed- 

 lings. "William Nicholson showed a fine 

 vase of Afterglow, not for competition. 

 For 100 double violets, prizes went to H. 

 F. Woods, H. F. Calder and W. B. Goode- 

 now in order named, all showing Camp- 

 bell ; while for singles, H. F. Woods, Mrs. 

 Frederick Ayer (George Page, gardener) 

 and W. B. Goodenow won, all showing 

 Princess of Wales. 



For six Primula Sinensis, E. J. Nutton 

 (J. Lawson, gardener), Dr. C. G. Weld 

 (W. C. Rust, gardener) and Mrs. J. M. 

 Sears (W. C. Ritchie, gardener) won in 

 order named. Mrs. J. L. Gardner (Wm. 

 Thatcher, gardener) had the best six 

 Primula stellata, while for P. obconica 

 the successful exhibitors were Dr. C, G. 

 Weld, Mrs. J. L. Gardner and Mrs. J. M. 

 Sears. In the way of miscellaneous ex- 

 hibits, R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had a nice 

 group of Lorraine begonias and Nephlo- 

 lopis Whitmani. Wm. Davis had half a 

 dozen splendid specimens of the same be- 

 gonia. Mrs, Frederick Ayer had a pair 



of handsome Erica melanthera, beautif ul- 

 > I'owered. Primula Kewensis came from 

 Walter H\innewell (T. D. Hatfield, gar- 

 dener), Gen. S. M. Weld (Thomas Coles, 

 gardener) and Dr. C. G. Weld. The 

 plants in the largest pots were not well 

 flowered. This primrose evidently does 

 better in pots not exceeding six inches 

 in diameter. T. D. Hatfield received 

 honorable mention for Corydalis Wilsonii 

 and Mrs. H. F. Durant (Thomas Watt, 

 gardener) a similar award for Schizo- 

 centra elegans; the latter also showed 

 Calceolaria fuchsisBfolia. W. A. Riggs 

 had a fine vase of Leptosyne maritima; 

 Mrs. E. M. Gill, a good general display; 

 E. A. Wood, fine mignonette, and Walter 

 Hunnewell, camellias. 



Some splendid pans of Celsia Arc- 

 turus, from Mrs. J. M. Sears, received 

 a cultural certificate. Dr. C. G. Weld 

 also showed the same plant in pots, well 

 flowered. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Cameron 's lecture on ' ' Annuals 

 and Biennials" attracted a large audi- 

 ence to Horticultural hall January 25. 

 The lecture was an interesting and ex- 

 haustive one, enjoyable to all who 

 lieard it. 



Boston and vicinity sent a good dele- 

 gation to the Washington carnation con- 

 vention. The snow storm, January 24, 

 came a little ahead of time. A warm 

 rain storm was allotted them this year 

 for a change. 



Carnation night at the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, February 18, promises 

 to attract a big attendance. Those who 

 cannot attend and wish to exhibit nov- 

 elties should address them, express paid. 



care of the club secretary at Horticul- 

 tural hall, and they will be well cared 

 for. 



Quite a number of members of the 

 Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 attended the annual banquet of the North 

 Shore Horticultural Society at Manches- 

 ter, January 29. 



Welch Bros., who are selling-agents 

 for Carnation White Fair Maid, report 

 a good call for rooted cuttings. They 

 are having a good trade in cut flowers 

 and other supplies. 



Mann Bros, and E. Sutermeister are 

 handling some extra fine tulips, hyacinths 

 and narcissi in pans at Park Street Mar- 

 ket. 



Celsia Arcturus, as shown at Horti- 

 cultural hall, January 25, should prove 

 worthy the attention of commercial grow- 

 ers. It ought to become popular as a 

 pot plant. 



Harry F. Woods, of Brookline, who 

 has grown double violets successfully for 

 several years, is this year producing 

 splendid singles, also, the size and color 

 being remarkable. 



T. Harrison, of the English firm of 

 Cragg, Harrison & Cragg, who visited 

 America some time ago, has decided to 

 locate in America permanently and will 

 arrive about February 20. Mr. Harrison 

 has sons located in and around Boston, 

 who have been studying commercial flori- 

 culture for some time. W. N. Cbaiq. 



Herewith please find money for the 

 renewal of the Review. We have to hear 

 the music of the band, so that we can 

 keep step in the procession. — Wilson
