Some 17,000 carnations are grown at 

 William Nicholson's and I never saw 

 them looking better. In whites Lady 

 Bountiful is still largely grown and car- 

 ries an immense crop. White Perfec- 

 tion is the queen of its color. Some 

 White Enchantress and Queen are also 

 grown. Small lots of Sarah Hill and 

 Marchioness were under trial. Harry 

 Fenn does splendidly here. Octoroon is 

 also grown. Sara Nicholson, Patten's 

 new seedling, carried a heavy crop of 

 fine bright crimson flowers. Enchantress 

 and Fair Maid are grown, there still be- 

 ing a good market for the latter. Eose- 

 pink Enchantress is not liked so well as 

 Winsor, the short stems on the latter be- 

 ing the chief drawback. Winona is re- 

 garded as one of the coming varieties. 

 Afterglow is grown in considerable num- 

 bers, but is not keeping up last year's 

 reputation, the percentage of split flow- 

 ers being heavier. 



Mrs. Patten is grown as a variegated 

 and Beacon and Victory for scarlets. A 

 number of other named varieties and 

 seedlings are under trial. A sulphury 

 yellow one of Domer's raising, with a 

 rigid stem, took my eye. A small lot of 



Mrs. Burnett, an English variety, was 

 noted. The color is a beautiful shade 

 of flesh pink, deeper than Enchantress; 

 the stems are, however, too short and 

 the flowers produced too few. Large 

 quantities of young stock were potted off 

 or in flats and propagating benches were 

 well filled. 



Mignonette is always well grown here, 

 some of the spikes being immense. 

 Marguerites are a leading specialty and 

 yield a constant crop from Thanksgiving 

 until June. Several houses are devoted 

 to them. Single violets here, as else- 

 where, were blooming sparsely. 



At J. T. Butterworth's, in South Fram- 

 ingham, orchids continue to become more 

 and more a specialty. Cattleyas are 

 grown in increasing numbers and include 

 many fine specimens in excellent health. 

 C. TriansB was in good crop, one or two 

 white forms being noted. C. Mossise, 

 Harrisonifie, gigas, labiata and others are 

 all grown in quantity. Quite a batch of 

 Laelia anceps, a number being white 

 forms, were flowering. Numerous Cyp- 

 ripedium insigne were also flowering 

 freely. Some Odontoglossum crispum 

 were recently received and will be given 



a trial. Miltonia vexillaria, Odontoglos- 

 sum grande, dendrobiums and other sorts 

 were also doing nicely. 



A new scented calla, dwarfer in habit 

 and with green stems, was pointed out. 

 It seeriied quite distinct. Lily of the 

 valley is a leading specialty here and is 

 well done. Dutch and French bulbs are 

 also grown in quantity. In carnations, 

 Winsor, Fenn, Enchantress, Victory, Fair 

 Maid and Queen were looking well. 



Various Notes. 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association will hold its next trade 

 exhibition February 27 and 28 at Horti- 

 cultural hall. A splendid prize list is 

 being prepared and promises of exhibits 

 have already been received from several 

 distant states. 



Leonard Cousins, of Concord Junction, 

 has an excellent Ught pink carnation in 

 the way of Fair Maid, but of better 

 form, which sells well at the Park Street 

 market. 



Mr. George McWilliam, of Whitins- 

 ville, showed a new seedling calanthe, the 

 result of a cross between C. Regnieri and 

 C. Sandhurstiana at Horticultural hall
