Florists' Baskets 



These baskets are especially suitable for 

 palms and ferns, though when filled with 

 roses or other large flowers, are strikingly 

 beautiful. Brighten up your stock with 

 some of our new ideas in baskets for 

 your Easter trade— any that do not please, 

 you may return — try a few.

years. February is at present giving us 

 some good, seasonable winter weather, 

 which should last till the middle of 

 March, if the ground hog theory proves 

 correct. Ciindlemas day could hardly 

 have been clearer. February 7 was one 

 of the coldest mornings of the winter. 



Eobert Laurie, traveling salesman for 

 W. W. Eawson & Co., lost a splendid col- 

 lection of nerines during the January 

 cold wave. They were in a greenhouse 

 at his home in East Mansfield, and steam 

 went down during a night of 10 degrees 

 below zero, while Mr. Laurie was out on 

 the road, destroying every bulb. In addi- 

 tion to a fine collection of named varie- 

 ties, there were many choice seedlings of 

 Mr. Laurie's raising Avhich could not be 

 duplicated. 



The H. E. Fii-kc Seed Co. is having an 

 exceptionally good call for both flower 

 and vegetable seeds. They carry many 

 special lines for trade growers, and are 

 building up a first-class business. 



James Wheeler, for the last twenty-two 

 and one-half years superintendent for 

 Joseph n. White, Brookline, has pur- 

 cliased thirty-two acres of excellent land 

 in Xatick, INIass., and will start in busi- 

 ness there on his own account April L 

 A greenhouse 60x300 will be erected the 

 present season for carnations. Phloxes, 

 peonies and other j)erennials, as well as 

 choice trees and shrubs, will later be 

 grown. The site is an ideal one and ^Ir. 

 Wheeler's skill as a grower leaves no 

 room for doubt that he will succeed in his 

 new venture. As an active worker and 

 past president of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club and Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, the name of James 

 Wheeler is a familiar one. 



The severe cold wave February 7 de- 

 scended unheralded and caught some 

 growers napping. We have not, however, 

 heard of any serious damage. A number 

 of cut flower shipments arrived in a 

 frozen condition,
