servatories, under the master hand of 

 Alexander Montgomery, is always in such 

 excellent condition that a mere descrip- 

 tive paragraph conveys but a faint idea 

 of its general vigor. Suffice it to say 

 that we have never seen the numerous 

 rose houses here carrying plants in more 

 perfect health. Killarney and White 

 Killarney, "Waban variety, are more 

 largely grown than any other variety, 

 there being 50,000 plants of the two 

 combined. A block 40x650 in the largest 

 house, which is 40x950, is a magnificent 

 sight — a veritable sea of buds. From 

 3,000 plants in part of this particular 

 house 65,000 flowers were cut up to De- 

 cember 1 last. American Beauties are 

 not grown so largely as in years gone 

 by. A space of 40x300 is, however, still 

 devoted to them. At the time of our 

 visit these were making tremendous 

 growth, but flowers were rather scarce. 

 Richmond is largely grown and, as a 

 scarlet rose, is well liked. Some Bride 

 and Bridesmaid are still grown, but this 

 will be the last year for these good old 

 Btandbys. Some My Maryland is grown. 

 It carried some nicely colored flowers, but 

 does not produce like Killarney in win- 

 ter. As a summer rose, however, Mr. 

 Montgomery thinks it will prove val- 

 uable. Of KiUamey some strong plants, 

 carrying shoots up to fifteen feet long 

 of the climbing pink variety, were noted. 

 A climbing white has also appeared. In 

 each Killarney house the white variety 

 seemed somewhat more vigorous than 

 the pink one and the flowers were more

full. Some of the original wooden 

 houses, erected in 1870, are planted with 

 Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, 

 others with roses. 



John Barr is a well known grower of 

 both plants and cut flowers, selling his 

 produce at Park Street Market No. 2. 

 Three large houses are devoted to car- 

 nations. These were all carrying tre- 

 mendous crops of high grade flowers. 

 The principal varieties grown are Queen, 

 very fine here, almost equal to White 

 Perfection; White Lawson, White Per- 

 fection, Winona, a great producer; Fenn, 

 Lawson, hard to beat as grown here; 

 Winsor, of which we noted a pure white 

 sport, and Bay State. There are also 

 considerable batches of some good seed- 

 lings of Mr. Barr's raising. One, a 

 variegated, is extra good and in strong 

 demand at the stores. There were also 

 good crimson, light pink and cerise seed- 

 lings. A large block of ^ink Delight 

 was headed back for cuttings. It will be 

 heavily grown next season, being highly 

 thought of. Cyclamens are a special 

 feature here. Several thousands were 

 grown in 5-inch pots — splendid, sturdy 

 plants, which there is no trouble in dis-

The economy in heating large ranges of 

 glass from a central plant is so great that the 

 first cost is repaid in a few years.

posing of. A good batch of these are 

 being grown cool for Easter trade. Hy- 

 drangeas are the only other plants grown. 

 Some thousands of these will be bloomed 

 for Memorial day, varying from plants 

 in 41/^-inch pots to plants in 8-inch pots; 

 better stock it would be hard to find. 

 Everything here is kept in immaculate 

 condition and it is a delight to visit such 

 a place. W. N. Craig.
