success of the recent one at Park street 

 has encouraged the promoters to attempt 

 larger things another year and already 

 several valuable cups have been prom- 

 ised. 



Among the cars on exhibition at the 

 Boston automobile show, now being held 

 in Mechanics' building, is one from 

 Peirce Bros., built exclusively by the 

 members of the firm. It is a long and 

 substantial one, to be used in hauling 

 their big quantities of Easter lilies, 

 azaleas and cut flowers to their custom- 

 ers. 



Robert B. Leuchars, for many years a 

 prominent landscape architect, and who 

 had laid out many fine estates in the 

 east, died at Brookline March 4, in his 

 eighty-first year.

 ular rose on the market. He handles 

 large quantities of high grade blooms of

 roses and other seasonable flowers. 

 Evergreens in tubs are one of his spe-

 in the flower market. 



William Sim's sweet peas are, if any- 

 thing, superior to last year, which, is 

 saying a good deal. Certainfy no such 

 flowers of Florence Denzer and Christ- 

 mas Pink were before seen in Boston. 

 He is picking many thousands a week. 



Dobbins & Shannon are successful 

 growers of Princess violets. The flow- 

 ers they are handling at Music Hall 

 market are of superb quality. 



The large growers of Easter lilies re- 

 port their crops as coming along all 

 right, but that all have had a larger pro- 

 portion of disease than usual. 



John K. M. L. Farquhar says the chief 

 cause of so much disease in Japanese 

 longiflorums is duo to too early lifting. 

 In northern Japan the bulbs should not 

 be dug before the middle of September, 

 which would mean November delivery in
