Mention Tbe Review when you write. 



A midwinter show will be held at Hor- 

 ticultural hall January 16. Primulas, 

 Lorraine begonias, carnations, etc., are 

 provided for. Owing to the reduced 

 appropriation for premiums for 1909, it 

 has been decided to hold but two big 

 exhibitions during the present year, viz., 

 the spring and chrysanthemum shows. No 

 prizes will be offered at the rose, peony, 

 dahlia and other shows, but medals and 

 other suitable awards wUl be made to 

 worthy exhibits. 



At Ffamingham. 



At S. J. Goddard's carnations are this 

 season looking better than ever and the 

 houses are all carrying heavy crops of 

 flowers. Helen Goddard, raised and in- 

 troduced from here a few years ago, is 

 still grown in quantity and does finely, 



much better than Afterglow, which has 

 a large percentage of its flowers off 

 color. In crimsons Octoroon is the fa- 

 vorite, although Harry Fenn is doing re- 

 markably well. White Perfection is the 

 leader of its color. Queen, which has 

 proved a good bread and butter sort, will 

 be dropped after this season, to make 

 way for more fancy kinds. Lady Boun- 

 tiful is still grown and is unsurpassed 

 for purity and form, even if a trifle 

 smaller than such sorts as White Perfec- 

 tion and White Enchantress. President 

 Seelye is not a success and will be 

 dropped. 



Beacon and Victory are grown in 

 about equal numbers as scarlets, the lat- 

 ter having somewhat the preference. En- 

 chantress is still the leader of its jwirtic- 

 ular color. A bench of Winsor grown 



under glass all summer carried a heavy 

 crop, but the stems were much shorter 

 than those of Winona, which is well liked 

 and will be more heavily grown next sea- 

 son. There were a few good seedlings. 

 One, a cross between Lady Bountiful and 

 Enchantress, of a bright shrimp pink 

 color, promises well. There were good 

 batches of cuttings in the propagating 

 house and many were boxed and potted 

 off. 



A batch of Freesia Purity in bloom 

 was extra fine. There were also nice lots 

 of cyclamens, azaleas, Lorraine begonias 

 and other seasonable plants. These are 

 mostly sold at retail, the bulk of the cut 

 flowers going to the Park Street market. 

 A powerful new steam boiler and many 

 other additions have recently been made 

 here, making the plant an up-to-date one.
