William A. Biggs, of Auburndale, has 

 a fine stock of winter-flowering plants 

 in pots. His cyclamens, potnsettias and 

 begonias are specially fine. Mr. Biggs 

 does not expect to receive any azaleas 

 from Belgium and is reconciled to their 

 loss. 



At Penn's, business, apart from fu- 

 neral work, was somewhat quiet last 

 week, although there always is some- 

 thing doing there. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. say that a 

 shortage of immortelles, cycas leaves, 

 chiffons and baskets will soon develop, 

 owing to Germany's foreign commerce 

 being sealed up. They think, however, 

 that suitable substitutes can be pro- 

 vided here. 



J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, likes 

 Vick's upright aster. He sets his 

 plants 9x12 inches apart and the plants 

 run up erectly instead of spreading out. 

 Plenty of plants carry eighteen to 

 twenty good flowers each, many on 24- 

 ineh stems and some even longer. 



E. E. Cummings, of Woburn, has six 

 fine houses of cucumbers. He grows a 

 hybrid of his own raising, containing 

 some Telegraph blood. These average 

 sixty-four fruits per bushel box. He 

 follows cucumbers with single violets. 

 Bed spider has been troublesome on 

 these during the summer. 



A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly, 

 never had his big carnation houses in 

 finer condition. Matchless looks superb j 

 90 do Pink Delight, Gorgeous and other 

 varieties. A good many flowers are 

 already being marketed. 



The annual exhibition of products of 

 children's gardens took place at Horti- 

 cultural hall September i) and 6 and 

 was a splendid one, filling two halls. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. has in- 

 creased the size of its office and is mak- 

 ing considerable additional improve- 

 ments in the rear of its store. 



Do not forget the meeting of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Septem- 

 ber 15. In lieu of a regular lecture 

 there will be convention echoes, and the- 

 experiences of several members lately 

 back from the war zone in Europe. 



The Shepard Norwell Co. is the most 

 recent of the big Boston dry goods 

 stores to open a plant and cut flower

Edward MacMulkin was in a front 

 seat of the automobile which was hit 

 by a passing electric car in North Wey- 

 mouth August 27, resulting in the death 

 of John A. Gale, a Somerville banker, 

 and the injury of ex-Congressman Mc- 

 Call, candidate for governor. The party 

 was on its way to the Marshfield fair, 

 where Mr. McCall was to make a cam- 

 paign speech, when the accident oc- 

 curred. Mr. MacMulkin was not hurt. 



VISITING BERKSHIBE ESTATES. 



By invitation of .the Lenox Horticul- 

 tural Society, the committee on gar- 

 dens of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society spent two days recently visit- 

 ing fourteen of the notable estates at 

 Lenox and Stockbridge, Mass. 



The Allen Winden Farm, an estate 

 of 200 acres, owned by Charles Lanier, 

 was the first place seen. A. H. Win- 

 gett is superintendent here, a position 

 which requires a high degree of horti- 

 cultural skill and knowledge. 



Elm Court, the residence of William 

 D. Sloane, was next on the list. This 

 is an estate of 1,000 acres, two of 

 which are devoted to flower gardens. 

 Frederic Heeremans has charge of the 

 grounds and greenhouses. 



High Lawn, the residence of W. B. O. 

 Field, came next. George Foulsham is 

 the superintendent in charge. Adjoin-
