dendron giganteum, awarded honorable 

 mention. The Boston Park department 

 received a bronze medal for a display of 

 cut shrubs, large vases of Cornus florida 

 rubra and Azalea Vaseyi being especially 

 attractive. 



Mrs. E. M. Gill had a nice display of 

 pansies and many other seasonable flow- 

 ers. Mrs. A. W. Blake, J. L. Smith, gar- 

 dener, had good pansies. Mrs. Frederick 

 Ayer, George Page, gardener, had the

 carnations. 



W. W. Eawson & Co. put up the most 

 extensive and interesting display of Dar- 

 win, Cottage and other late tulips ever 

 seen in Boston, embracing no less than 

 320 varieties. These filled three large 

 tables the width of the hall. The exhibit 

 was an educational one, finely staged. 

 The same firm showed a collection of 

 named narcissi of the poetaz section. 



The next exhibition at Horticultural 

 hall will occur June 5 and 6. Rhododen- 

 drons, hardy azaleas, hardy herbaceous 

 plants, fruits and vegetables will be 

 specialties. 



Variotu Notes. 



The cold weather experienced in New 

 England of late has kept some of the 

 growers guessing, and indications are 

 that some batches of Memorial day flow- 

 ers will be late, unless hot weather ar- 

 rives during the present week. 



Peirce Bros., S. J. Goddard, Mam 

 Bros., and several other growers, are mar- 

 keting some fine Gladiolus America, as 

 well as quantities of the nanus and Col- 

 villei sections. 



T. F. Galvin is making displays of 

 named tulips, from W. W. Eawson ft 

 Co., a feature of his Tremont street store, 

 large vases of Darwins being fine. 



In spite of cool weather, bedding pl&nt 

 trade has been good and geraniums are 

 practically sold out, Eicard and other 

 standard sorts being almost unprocurable. 



S. J. Goddard and William NicholsoH 

 have big batches of double feverfew for 

 Memorial day. 



John Barr has handled a large quantity 

 of finely grown hydrangeas, no better 

 being seen around Boston. 



W. W. Edgar & Co. are having an ex- 

 ceptionally heavy trade in bedding stock, 

 being already well cleaned out of some 

 lines. 



A magnificent lot of Calceolaria Goldea 

 Gem and Stewarti are to be seen in bloom 

 at James Crosby's, on the Tafts' estate, 

 Medford, Mass. The plants show splendid 

 culture. 



Interest in the big orchid show to be 

 held in Boston a year hence is increasing, 

 and it looks now as though about all the 

 leading growers in America would be 

 among the exhibitors, as well as some 

 from Europe. W. N. Craiq. 



Ashtabula, O. — Mr. Good, of Good & 

 Bush, on West street, has purchased his 

 partner's interest in the firm, and will 

 continue the business in his own name. 



SoMERViLLE, Mass. — Gus Cabral, pro- 

 prietor of a barber shop at 13 Holland 

 street, is also the owner of a hothouse in 

 his native Azores, and is now arranging 

 to build two more, with the intention of 

 going extensively into the cultivation of 

 pineapples and other fruits. It is ex- 

 pected that he will eventually return to 

 the islands and give personal attention to 

 the business.
