hibitors at the first exhibition of the 

 sweet pea society in New York. 



Visitors during the last week included 

 John S. Hay, Philadelphia; C. B. Weath- 

 ered, New York; W. A. Manda, South 

 Orange, N. J., and Paul Pfitzer, Stutt- 

 gart, Germany. Mr. Pfitzer is making 

 an extended tour, which commenced last 

 December in Jamaica and Cuba. He 

 spent several days in Boston, visiting pri- 

 vate estates, the park system, Arnold 

 arboretum, etc. After visiting the west 

 and the Pacific coast, he will go to China 

 and Japan before returning home. The 

 seed house of W. Pfitzer is one of the 

 most noted on the European continent 

 and many fine bulb and plant novelties 

 have originated there. 



The garden committee of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society visited 

 "The Moorings," the new 300-acre es- 

 tate of Col. H. E. Converse, Marion, 

 Mass., where D. F. Roy has charge, 

 June 21. This estate is entered for the 

 Hunnewell triennial premium. A fine 

 range of glass is being erected at pres- 

 ent. June 24 the peony collection of 

 James McKissock, of West Newton, 

 which includes several hundred varieties, 

 was inspected. 



David Welch, of the firm of Welch 

 Bros., has gone to Europe for a change. 

 Patrick Welch will visit Old Orchard 

 Beach, Me., his favorite stamping ground, 

 later. 



The local delegation to the Cincinnati 

 S. A. F. convention promises to be rather 

 small. Several who usually attend will 

 not be able to make the journey in Au- 

 gust. 



One of the finest roses for massing 

 now blooming in the Boston park sys- 

 tem is Rosa rugosa repens alba.

Trade Conditions. 



During the last week the florists were 

 on the jump on account of the large num- 

 ber of graduations. Between forty and 

 fifty different schools, public and private, 

 held their closing exercises last week, and 

 it is estimated that nearly 850 youths 

 and misses were members of the classes. 

 It will be seen that an average of but 



one floral tribute to each pupil would 

 make a good aggregate, but many in- 

 stances occurred wherein the child had as 

 many as half a dozen pieces. 



But the season 's work is done, and now 

 funeral work, with an occasional func- 

 tion at long intervals, will be all there 

 will be to keep the stores busy. Outdoor 

 work, however, continues brisk and the 

 greenhouse men had plenty in view to 

 preclu<Je all ideas of idle hours. The ex- 

 cessive heat of the week, when the ther- 

 mometer registered well up in the 80 's

Rose Exhibition. 



The annual June exhibition of roses 

 and strawberries by the Rhode Island 

 Horticultural Society, held on the after- 

 noon and evening of June 23 in Arnold 

 hall, was not up to the usual showing. 

 The weather conditions detracted some- 

 what from the standard of the eodiibi- 

 tion, but it also lacked variety and num- 

 ber of entries. Few recognized growers 

 were represented and little interest was
