February is the best month for propa- 

 gating for stock of convenient size. Feed- 

 ing should be delayed until the days 

 lengthen. Peter Fisher, answering a 

 query as to how long it takes to find out 

 the caliber of a seedling, answered, "At 

 least three years." He has grown as 

 many as 3,000 plants of seedUngs and 

 then thrown all away. Sometimes seed- 

 lings excellent the first year were found 

 worthless later, and vice versa. The 

 average life of a carnation in commerce 

 is five to eight years; sometimes less but 

 rarely more. 



Various Notes. 



February 27 and 28 will be notable 

 days at Horticultural hall and there is 

 every indication of a big exhibition and 

 the largest attendance ever seen at a 

 trade show in New England. It is hoped 

 that clear weather may prevail this week 

 and there will not be such a scarcity of 

 flowers as during the previous week. 



Prof. F. A. Waugh lectured on ' * Amer- 

 ican Landscnpe Architecture" at Horti- 



cultural hall, February 20. A good num- 

 ber took part in the discussion, several 

 speakers stating that a large proportion 

 of the so-called landscape architects were 

 poorly fitted to lay out an estate, their 

 horticultural knowledge being slim. 



William Purdom, of Kew, England, 

 was one of the visitors at the club meet- 

 ing February 16. Mr. Purdom goes to 

 northern China and Thibet to collect 

 plants and seeds for the Arnold Arbo- 

 retum in place of E. H. Wilson, just re- 

 turning from a two years' trip. Mr. 

 Purdom left for Shanghai via Vancouver, 

 February 18. 



E. v. Hallock, of Queens, N. Y., will 

 be the attraction at the club meeting 

 March 16. His lecture will be on "Bulb- 

 ous and Tuberous-rooted Plants. ' ' He 

 is sure to have a big audience. 



William Dunton is now running the 

 store on City Hall avenue, formerly man- 

 aged by the late M. B. Bunker. 



A magnificent spring show is already 

 assured in Horticultural hall. The en- 

 tire space for the main hall is already 



taken. The show will this year last five 

 days, March 25 to 30. 



Patrick Welch is in New York this 

 week in the interest of the S. A. F., 

 he being a member of the tariff com- 

 mittee. 



Letters from Edward Hatch, the pop- 

 ular secretary of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club, at Miami, Fla., indicate that 

 he is improving in health and has taken 

 to tarpon fishing for a pastime. 



W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, has an 

 exceptionally fine lot of liUes and azaleas 

 coming along for Easter. 



Daniel Iliffe, now of South Weymouth, 

 \fill have a good exhibit at the trade 

 show February 27, He is having many 

 calls for building, piping, etc., at both 

 trade and private places, particularly the 

 latter. W. N. Cbaiq. 



Annie O'Brien foreclosed the mort- 

 gage that she held on the stock of John 

 J. O'Brien, on Boylston street, Boston, 

 and sold it to Margaret O'Brien for 

 $300.
