neat, indestructible arrangement, much 

 prized by the decorators. Cibotium 

 Schiedei is also increasing in numbers. 

 Boston and Scottii are produced in 

 quantity, many of them being hung 

 from the roofs. The houses in the palm 

 and fern department show that the 

 order to close up the ranks, jifter the 

 busy October, finds the sizes still un- 

 broken. 



Six or seven years ago an orchid de- 

 partment was started in an experi- 

 mental way. Today there are over 

 12,000 orchids, that produce flowers 

 every day in the year. The plants are 

 beautifully arranged, many staged to 

 secure the best results from light and 

 air. They embrace all the commercial 

 varieties of cattleyas and a house of 

 Cypripedium insigne. 



Three boilers, 100 horse-power each, 

 have been installed this summer, replac- 

 ing the old battery of less power. An 

 addition to the packing shed has been 

 built.

 Miss Sadler, of this city, escorted by 

 Edward G. Bowers, were guests on 

 board the "Wisconsin at the League 

 Island navy yard this week. 



The oxidized German silver fern 

 vases with porcelain dishes are proving 

 an excellent seller, according to H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co. 



The Boston Gardeners' and Florists' 



Club has invited J. Otto Thilow to 

 speak at its silver anniversary banquet 

 November 11. Mr. Thilow 's subject

 Country; what they have done, what 

 they are doing, and what they mav 

 do." 



Walter M. Yates is devoting his at- 

 tention largely to ferns. 



There is a shortage of good lily of 

 the valley pips. 



Berger Bros, report the midseason 

 chrysanthemums and the single violets 

 as exceptionally fine this year. 



Snowballs, just the size you would 

 make for pelting, glistening white, are 

 the latest novelty of M. Rice & Co. 

 They are beautiful for decoration.

 ported by George Auegle, manager of 

 the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., as of 

 high grade. 



Louis Berger has shipped all the bulb
