For 100 Campbell, H. P. Calder was 

 first, H. F. Woods second. For 100 any 

 other double, Paul Thomson was first, 

 with Imperial; H. M. Sanderson second, 

 with Farquhar. For 100 Princess of 

 Wales, Esty Bros, were first; William 

 Sim second. For 100 any other single,^ 

 William Sim was first, with Boston; H. 

 F, Woods second. The Wheeler trophy, 

 a silver cup valued at $25, for best 200 

 blooms any new violet, went to William 

 Sim, for Boston, which was shown in 

 splendid condition. The violets unfor- 

 tunately had a dark corner and could not 

 be seen to advantage. 



For 100 white sweet peas, William 

 Sim won, with Florence Denzer; H. M. 

 Sanderson second. For 100 pink, William 

 Sim was first, with Christmas pink; H. 

 M. Sanderson second. A. C. Zvolanek 

 was second for any other color, with a 

 pretty lavender variety. The Zvolanek 

 cup for vases of 200 spikes each of 

 Christmas Pink and Florence Denzer went 

 to William Sim for a magnificent lot 

 of flowers, one of the features of the 

 exhibition. 



Other exhibits inchuled fine giant 

 candytuft from R. T. McGorum, double 

 blue lobelias from Joseph Fuller, a new 

 dwarf sport of Nephrolepis Whitmani 

 of excellent promise from H. H. Barrows 

 & Son, and fine wallflowers from JVank 

 T. White. 



Daniel Iliffe showed his improved ven- 

 tilating apparatus, which seemed to take 

 the eye of many. The market was crowd- 

 ed during the whole time the show was 

 open and it was a pity it could not have 

 been kept open a day longer for the 

 general public to inspect it. 



The judges were A. II. Fewkes, New- 



ton Highlands; Thomas Roland, Nahant; 

 E, A. Wood, West Newton, and S. J. 

 Renter, Westerly, R. I., and their de- 

 cisions gave complete satisfaction. 



At Music Hall Market. 



The stall-holders of the Music Hall 

 market at short notice got up a most 

 creditable exhibition. No prizes were 

 offered, but a number of the members 

 contributed flowers. These included 

 large vases of Fair Maid and Enchant- 

 ress carnations from A. Porter, 100 

 splendid Enchantress from William L. 

 Lewis, and Debutante, a light pink 

 seedling, and a good red seedling from 

 J. W. Foote, who also contributed 

 cyclamens. H. A. Stevens had several 

 seedlings. A. Roper had a fine vase of 

 his variegated Bay State, also a fine 

 Lawson-colored seedling. Donald Car- 

 michael had mixed carnations; I^wis 

 Smith, L. K. Small and J. H. Leach & 

 Son excellent Beacon, and John Barr 

 a fine vase of his flesh pink seedling. 



John McFarland had a fine vase of 

 Brunner roses and excellent lily of the 

 valley, W. T. Walke sweet peas, Rob- 

 ert Montgomery Bride and Bridesmaid 

 roses, H. F. Crawford Perle roses, and 

 M. J. Aylward Bridesmaid. F. L. 

 Hardy had pink and white antirrhin- 

 ums, J. E. Horrigan marguerites. Dob- 

 bins & Shannon, of Woburn, had grand 

 single violets. .J. Cummings, M. B. Dal- 

 lachie, George W. Ayer, J. H. Newman 

 and Malcolm Orr also had fine single 

 or double violets. 



The stall-holders of this market are 

 hoping to hold a prize exhibition a lit- 

 tle later in the season, when thoy will 

 have a much larger display. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, deliv- 

 ered a splendid lecture on ' ' The Private 

 Gardener" at Horticultural hall, Feb- 

 ruary 29. Mr. Craig's many Boston 

 friends were glad to hear him once more 

 and those who failed to attend his lec- 

 ture missed a great treat. 



At Horticultural hall, February 29, 

 R. & J. Farquhar & Co. showed hip- 

 peastrums in flower from bulbs grown 

 at their nursery in Porto Rico. These 

 were of excellent quality. They also 

 had two well flowered plants of Rose 

 Tausendschon, which took the popular 

 eye. Mrs. E. A. Mansfield showed fine 

 vases of Lawson, White Lawson and 

 Fair Maid carnations, which received 

 a gratuity. 



Roses and violets will have their in- 

 nings at the next meeting of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club, March 17. 

 The papers by expert rosarians, and 

 other attractions, will again draw a 

 large crowd. The annual banquet a 

 week later promises to be more largely 

 attended than ever before. 



At the club meeting, February 25, 

 omission was made of the following ex- 

 hibits in last week's report: Seedling 

 carnations from Lively & Bond and 

 Mrs. E, A. Mansfield; John N. May, 

 a deep pink seedling carnation raised 

 by W. A. Manda, and Elijah A. W^ood 

 an excellent scarlet seedling. 



J. T. Butterworth is marketing ex- 

 cellent valley at present. He still is 

 cutting plenty of Cattleya Trianap, also 

 dendrobiums and other seasonable 

 orchids. 



W. W. Edgar & Co. have 2."),000 lilies 

 coming along for Easter. They had a
