m., Saturday, December 11, for the field 

 day at Nashua, N. H. A large attend- 

 ance is already assured. 



Vigorous steps are being taken by the 

 society for the protection of native 

 plants to put an end to the excessive 

 cutting of mountain laurel in this state 

 for Christmas and other festivals. Ef- 

 forts will be made to sufficiently arouse 

 public sentiment so that districts where 

 it grows abundantly will be closed to the 

 dealer in greens. The demand will cer- 

 tainly soon use up the remaining supply, 

 unless prohibition is enforced. 



The Boston Flower Exchange, recently 

 incorporated, held an important business 

 meeting December 4. Excellent progress 

 was reported in the selling of stock, and 

 the new company starts out under 

 bright auspices. 



William Spillsbury, of Woburn, whose 

 specialties are cucumbers and single vio- 

 lets, is handling large quantities of the 

 latter of exceptional excellence. Mr. 

 Spillsburj' is one of our largest violet 

 specialists and does them well. , 



November was an exceptionally mild 

 month. The mean temperature was 46.5, 

 against the normal for thirty-nine years 

 of 41.2. It just equaled the warmest 

 November on record. The rainfall, which 

 all came at the end of the month, was 

 4.11 inches, a trifle over normal. 



William T. Walker has a grand lot of 

 Lorraine begonias and other flowering 

 stock for Christmas, grown in that gen- 

 tleman's usual finished style. 



John Barr, of South Natick, has, as 

 usual, a superb lot of cyclamen of just 

 the right size for commercial use. Mr. 

 Barr's houses' of carnations are giving 

 him a fine lot of blooms at present and 

 will be in heavy crop for Christmas. 



Beacon, Enchantress and Queen are 

 three of Andrew Christensen 's best pay- 

 ing carnations at Stoneham.

William A. White, formerly of Mil- 

 ford, but for several years engaged in 

 the florists' business in Boston up to a 

 few months ago, has bought a cigar and 

 tobacco store on Bedford street.

MILWAUKEE PLANS SHOW. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club will give 

 another flower show next year, providing 

 a guarantee fund can be raised to cover 

 any danger of deficit. Members believe 

 that no trouble will be encountered in 

 raising this fund. 



"We did not make any money at the 

 last show, but were not disappointed," 

 said W. E. Dallwig, former president, to 

 a reporter December 4. "When we un- 

 dertook to give the show it was ■s^dth the 

 realization that we would not make a 

 profit. We had a guarantee fund, how- 

 ever, to cover all losses. 



"A new executive committee will be 

 appointed in January, and steps will be 

 taken immediately for the next show. We 

 will be in a position next year for an 

 event that will eclipse the one held re- 

 cently. ' ' 



New officers for the ensuing year have 

 been elected as follows: President, Nic 

 Zweifel; vice-president, Alex Klockner; 

 treasurer, J. G. Heitman; secretary, Eu- 

 gene Oestreicher; trustee for three years, 

 Arthur Leidiger; one year. Gust Pohl.

opened at the Fifth Eegiment Armory 

 December 2. The armory was thronged 

 with large crowds of interested visitors 

 from the state and city. 



Aside from the exhibits, the program 

 of the society's meetings contained many 

 valuable features in the way of lectures 

 and other items. 



As the visitor entered the armory the 

 first thing to catch his eye was the im 

 mense landscape gardening exhibit of the 

 park board of Baltimore, which had been 

 placed in the center of the armory floor, 

 under the direction of James Boone, su- 

 perintendent of Clifton park. The space 

 covered by this exhibit was 30x65 feet 

 and it was a complete display of the 

 work of the skilled landscape gardener.
