of stock. About 20^00 each of Kil- 

 lamey and Bichmond are grown, also a 

 batch of Safrano. Some of the old Isa- 

 bella Sprunt are also being tried. The 

 visitors were impressed with the advan- 

 tages of the large houses for rose grow- 

 ing, one gentleman declaring that the 

 light really seemed stronger in the new 

 house than outdoors. 



Tickets for the banquet and dance of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club at 

 Horticultural hall, April 1, are selling 

 well and the attendance promises to be 

 a record one. Robert Cameron has prom- 

 ised to lead the Scotch reel, which should 

 be one of the features of the evening. 



The trustees of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society March 21 endorsed 

 the plan of the Boston park commis- 

 sioners for two rows of elms to eventu- 

 ally replace the four rows now growing 

 on Commonwealth avenue. Prof. C. S. 

 Sargent and the late F. L. Olmstead 

 recommended the two-row plan as long 

 ago as 1880 and Superintendent Petti- 

 grew placed two rows of English elms 

 several years ago in well prepared holes, 

 which are making splendid growth. Op- 

 position comes from some landscape 

 architects and residents, as the time ar- 

 rives to gradually cut away the hetero- 

 geneous lot of older trees to give the 

 younger ones a chance. 



The death of William H. Spooncr, 



Mention The ReTJew when yon write. 



March 21, reported elsewhere in this is- 

 sue, caused many expressions of regret 

 among horticulturists. There was no 

 more familiar figure than Mr. Spooner's 

 at Horticultural hall, and his passing is 

 a great loss to the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society. 



William Sim states that all his crop of 

 violets in the houses will be gone for 

 Easter but will have a fine lot in frames, 

 which are not yet uncovered. His sweet 

 pea. Watching, should prove a popular 

 forcing kind, blooming as it does when a 

 foot high. Flowers are pure white and 

 quite equal to those of Mont Blanc or 

 Florence Denzer. 



M. A. Patten is one of several who in- 

 tend to drop Rose-pink Enchantress in 

 favor of Winsor another season. He 

 is favorably impressed with the qualities 

 of the latter. 



John W. Duncan has been the victim 

 of an acute attack of muscular rheum- 

 atism, but is improving. 



The delegation to the American Rose 

 Society's meeting in Chicago was rather 

 small. The busy season kept some at 

 home who had planned to attend. Many 

 are holding back for the national show 

 in November. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will 

 hold its next field day at the establish- 

 ment of Thomas Roland, Nahant, April 



11. Mr. Roland is a noted grower of pot 

 plants, and a visit to Nahant will un- 

 doubtedly attract a large attendance. 



M. H. Walsh says every rose lover 

 should grow the hybrid tea, Betty, one 

 of Alex. Dickson & Son's introductions. 

 The color is ruddy gold and it is a con- 

 tinuous bloomer. We wish that Mr. 

 Walsh's fine specimen ramblers could 

 have been shown in Chicago. They would 

 have proved a revelation to many growers. 



A communication from a well-known 

 Natick rose grower, read at the last 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, caused much amusement. He for- 

 warded a handsome artificial yellow rose 

 to be passed upon by the committee on 

 exhibits, it being rose night, and took oc- 

 casion to refer to a number of promi- 

 nent club members in his usual witty 

 style. 



The proposal of Mayor Hibbard to 

 include the department of public grounds 

 under the park department, meets with 

 almost general approval. The Common 

 and Public Gardens would be better cared 

 for under such an arrangement, than as 

 at present. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. are pre- 

 paring for a heavy Easter trade. They 

 report trade as much better than a year 

 ago, although prices are unusually low.
