on Sunday, attend a prayer meeting 

 through the week and work a farm suc- 

 cessfully during the balance of the week. 

 If the mellow-beaded preachers under- 

 stood more agriculture they would have 

 better congregations, and better feelings 

 all around would exist between them and 

 their parishioners. 



_ Prior to Mr. Seavey's lecture a resolu- 

 tion approving the two-row tree plan for 

 Commonwealth avenue, on a motion by 

 J. K. M. L. Farquhar, was adopted by 

 the meeting. It is to be hoped that the 

 original plan of Frederick Law Olmsted, 

 Sr., and C. 8. Sargent will be carried out 

 to completion and that the so-called land- 

 scape architects, who are demanding a 

 permanent four-row plan from an artistic 

 point of view, will be relegated to the 

 rear. 



Variotft Notes. 



Everything points to a splendid ex- 

 hibition in Horticultxiral hall, February 



25 to 27, and some choice displays of 

 amaryllis, orchids and other plants will 

 be seen. No one should miss seeing this 

 show, which will take the place of the 

 regular spring show. Carnations promise 

 to be shown in unusually large numbers. 



At the club meeting February 15, 

 Robert Main, of Gloversville, N. Y., 

 showed a white seedling carnation, a 

 cross between Boston Market and Gene- 

 vieve Lord, which the committee thought 

 suflBciently well of to grant a report of 

 merit. 



H. W. Peirce, of Peirce Bros., left by 

 steamer February 19, for a trip to Sa- 

 vannah, Ga. 



Kidder Bros., of Lincoln, handle quan- 

 tities of superb Princess of Wales vio- 

 lets, which are finely bunched and easily 

 fetch top market prices. 



W. E. Lenk, of Halifax Gardens Co., 

 Halifax, Mass., was in town February 

 19. His firm, at present, chiefly is grow- 



ing cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce in 

 their large area of glass, but they are 

 contemplating planting large quantities 

 of carnations and chrysanthemimis next 

 season. 



T. F. Galvin at present is handling a 

 fine lot of well flowered Baby Bambler 

 roses, also nice lots of Prunus triloba 

 and lilacs, among other plants. 



D. F. Roy, the manager of the Con- 

 verse estate at Marion, Mass., is at Palm 

 Beach, Fla., with Mrs. Roy on a three 

 weeks' visit. 



The Harvard Botanical Gardens are 

 hoping to erect a new and commodious 

 palm house during the present season, 

 Such a house is much needed and we 

 have no doubt the funds for the erection 

 of it will be readily secured. 



The H. E. Fiske Seed Co. is handling 

 a fine assortment of bulbs in variety at 

 present, in addition to many other flow- 

 ering plants. 



Sidney Hoffman is showing some 

 splendid specimen azaleas and genistas 

 in his big Massachusetts avenue store. 

 Mr. Hoffman is doing a large and in- 

 creasing business, due to his carrying 

 first-class goods. 



J. F. Flood will take possession of his 

 recent purchase of the David Fisher 

 estate in Wobum, July 1. 



The genial Patrick Welch has been on 

 the sick list with the grip, but we are 

 glad to announce he is much better. 



William T. Walke, of Salem, has a 

 grand lot of UUes, rambler roses and 

 other Easter stock, which promise to be 

 the finest he has yet grown. 



A. Leuthy will be one of the competi- 

 tive exhibitors at the midwinter show 

 in Horticultural hall this week. Mr.
