impression that they were private estates, 

 so beautifully are they kept. At Veitch's 

 branch nursery, at Slough, hardy roses 

 were fine, the Lyon, of a charming cop- 

 pery pink color, being one of the best. 

 At the extensive Dickson's Nurseries, in 

 Chester, among other noteworthy roses, 

 the new race of Irisli singles were fine, 

 the best being a yellow variety named 

 Modesty. 



Eaton Hall, near Chester, the palatial 

 and finely kept estate of the Duke of 

 Westminster, was visited and here end- 

 less fine specimen trees, both deciduous 

 and evergreen, were seen. Among ram- 

 bler roses, Hiawatha and Dorothy Per- 

 kins, both as standards and climbers, 

 were seen. A hedge, ten feet high, of 

 the last named had just finished bloom- 

 ing August 27. The extensive green- 

 houses were beautifully kept. Borders 

 of hardy perennials were fine and well 

 planted as to color, one of yellow and 

 white with occasional touches of lavender 

 being charming, with perfectly grown 

 and clipped yew hedges forming a back- 

 ground for each of them. Clematis pani- 

 culata and C. Jackmani, growing and 

 flowering together, made a pretty com- 

 bination. 



At Lovens Hall, in Westmoreland, the 

 splendid old topiary garden planted in 

 1688, was well worthy of a visit. Here 

 and elsewhere, throughout the beautiful 

 EngUsh lake region, were many fine 

 specimen beeches, oaks, araucarias and 

 other trees. Arabis albida flore pleno at 

 a Windermere nursery, hanging over the 

 walls and blooming the last of August, 

 made a pretty picture. 



A rising vote of thanks was tendered 

 Miss Hetzer for her excellent paper, and 

 the wish was expressed, that while she 

 was the first lady lecturer the club has 

 had, others, it was hoped, would follow. 



It was announced that at the January 

 meeting, E. H. Wilson, the noted plant 

 collector, would deliver a stereopticon 

 lecture on "Plant Collecting and the 

 Flora of Western China." A letter 

 from F. B. Pierson was read, asking the 

 club to send a committee of three, to 

 cooperate with the S. A. F. and other 

 committees, for the national spring show 

 of 1911. The committee named is Welch, 

 T. Eoland and D. Finlayson. 



There were many exhibits.

President F. K. Pierson, of the S. 

 A. F., has called a meeting for Novem- 

 ber 19 of the committee appointed to 

 carry out the details of the proposed 

 national show in Boston in the spring of 

 1911. Committees from the wholesale 

 flower markets, Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society, and Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club have been invited to attend, 

 and it is hoped to start preliminary work 

 at once. 



The new icechest at the Park street 

 market is now in service. It covers 500 

 square feet of space. One part is al- 



lotted to roses, the balance to other 

 flowers. 



Penn Bros., on Bromfield street, al- 

 ways have their big show window attrac- 

 tively arranged. They make a specialty 

 of violets, which they handle in large 

 quantities. At present they are using a 

 variety of orchids and chrysanthemums 

 for window adornment. 



The Bay State Nurseries have had a 

 heavy fall trade for nursery stock, ever- 

 greens in particular being disposed of 

 in large quantities. 



Peirce Bros, at present are handling 

 large quantities of chrysanthemums of
