lamey and White Killamey continue to 

 be the great sellers. Carnations are a 

 little lower in price, but, all things eon- 

 aidered, are cleaning up well. Violets 

 are becoming more abundant each week; 

 fancy singles make 75 cents per hundred, 

 but the general average is 30 cents to 

 50 cents. The singles are of exceptional 

 quality now. Narcissus of the various 

 Trumpet varieties are in oversupply. 

 Hyacinths do not move well and tulips 

 are also in heavy supply. Few Paper 

 Whites and Boman hyacinths now re- 

 main. 



There are plenty of excellent lilies. 

 Those of the Formosum type are selling 

 well. The speciosums move more slowly. 

 Lily of the valley sold well last week, but 

 is now quieter. Bachelor's buttons, cal- 

 endulas, inyosotis, English primroses and 

 other miscellaneous flowers are in con- 

 siderable demand. Some fine antirrhi- 

 nums are coming in. Freesia is still seen, 

 but is becoming of poor quality. Mar- 

 guerites are rather more plentiful, but 

 sell well and there is a fair call for green 

 stock. Cattleyas are less plentiful, but 

 CoBlogyne cristata, dendrobiums and 

 cypripediums are in quite good supply. 

 An increasing call for fiowering plants is 

 noted. Of these cyclamen, prunus, lilacs, 

 Baby Rambler roses, ericas, genistas and 

 acacias are most in evidence, with plenty 

 of tulips and narcissi in pans. 



Dinner to J. W. Duncan. 



About fifty friends of J. W. Duncan 

 met at the Parker House, Saturday even- 

 ing, February 19, and tendered him a 

 complimentary farewell banquet. Those 

 present included many of the leading 

 florists, gardeners, seedsmen, park and 

 cemetery superintendents near Boston; 

 F. C. Green and T. McCarthy coming 

 from Providence, B. L, and George Gor- 

 don, under whom Mr. Duncan first found 

 employment in America, came from Bev- 

 erly Cove. 



J. K. M. L. Farquhar acted as toast- 

 master, and addresses eulogistic of the 

 guest of the evening, regretting his de- 

 parture from Boston and wishing him 

 every success in his new and broader 

 field at Spokane, Wash., were made by 

 many of those present, including T. Mc- 

 Carthy, Andrew Christensen, F. C. Green, 

 Bobert Cameron, K. Finlayson, D. Fin-

 Leuthy, George M. Anderson and J. T. 

 Butterworth. The latter, who is of a 

 poetical turn of mind, gave impromptu 

 some choice verses appropriate to the oc- 

 casion. 



Mr. Duncan feelingly and appro- 

 priately thanked those present for the 

 honor conferred upon him and expressed 

 the hope that he would be able to see 

 some of them at Spokane in the near 

 future. The committee having charge of 

 the banquet, which was arranged for on 

 short notice, were Bobert Cameron, J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhar, P. M. MiUer and 

 Thomas Pegler. The last named gentle- 

 mtm was called by telegraph to New 

 York owing to the serious illness of a 

 near relative and vras unable to be pres- 

 ent. 



Mr. Duncan leaves for Spokane Febru- 

 ary 24. Mrs. Duncan and daughter will 

 follow about the end of April. 



Qub Clippings. 



In the discussion on S. J. Goddard's 

 paper at the club meeting February 15, 

 the lecturer said he tried to keep all his 

 carnation houses at 52 degrees at night, 

 58 degrees on dull days and 65 degrees 

 on bright days. Asked as to the best six 

 varieties of their respective colors, he 

 said he would select Winsor, Pink De- 

 light, Helen Goddard, Beacon, Fenn and 

 White Perfection. He considered July 

 the best month to plant the houses, al- 

 though he had fine Beacons planted in 

 June. Peter Fisher had found that cut- 

 tings kept sweeter and longer in a brick 

 than a wooden propagating bench. 



The club will hold a field day with 

 W. W. Edgar Co., Waverley, March 19, 

 to see the ten's display of Easter plants.

Owing to the lecture hall of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society being 

 rented for the week of the regular meet- 

 ing in March, the regular monthly meet- 

 ing will be held March 22, in lieu of 

 March 15. 



One of the most eloquent lectures de- 

 livered before the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society for years, was given 

 February 19 by Glen C. Seavey, of 

 Springfield, Mass., on "The New Agri- 

 culture for New England." The lec- 

 turer emphasized the necessity for teach- 

 ing more of the principles of agriculture 

 in the schools. Mr. Seavey said that at 

 present 85.72 per cent of the population 

 of Massachusetts lives in towns or cities 

 with 5,000 or more inhabitants, but a big 

 change is now under way and real estate 

 dealers have a steadUy increasing call 

 for New England farms from western 

 people, many from beyond the Mississippi 

 river. 



An animated discussion followed the 

 lecture. Bobert Cameron paid his re- 

 spects to the so-called landscape archi- 

 tects and instanced some of their work 

 for rejuvenating the dying elms aroxmd 

 Harvard college. He described the ideal 

 country minister as one who could preach
