ful, and there are altogether too many 

 of the small flowered gladioli. May, 

 Shakespeare and Augusta are seen in fine 

 condition and bring good prices. Easter 



lilies and eallas each sell quite well. 

 Spiraea is a slow seller. Some good 

 outdoor valley is now in and is vastly 

 superior to the bulk of the forced article. 



Cut lilac is abundant and meets with a 

 fair sale. Cattleyas are in good supply, 

 but move better than in any previous 

 year. Gardenias are good and sell quite 

 well. Yellow marguerites are in rather 

 short supply; white are more plentiful. 



Asparagus Sprengeri is more abundant. 

 A. plumosus remains about the same. 

 Adiantum is much better in quality. Con- 

 tinued cool weather has not been encour- 

 aging for trade in tender bedding plants, 

 and while growers are satisfied with sales, 

 a warmer spell would give it a decided 

 fillip. Hydrangeas, rambler roses and 

 geraniums are in demand for Memorial 

 day and everyone is anticipating the 

 heaviest sales on record. 



The Great Orchid Exhibition. 



There is a good entry in every class for 

 the big orchid show, which opens May 

 26 at Horticultural hall. There will be 

 a battle royal in the blue ribbon class, 

 where the first prize is !^1,000 and a gold 

 medal, and some artistic groups will be 

 put up. From all parts of the country 

 visitors are coming, and these are by no 

 means confined to orchid fanciers. The 

 show will undoubtedly prove the leading 

 horticultural feature in 1910 in America. 

 The flooring of the main e.xhibition hall 

 has been removed and the winding walks 

 will be of gravel and crushed stone. 

 Some beds will contain large specimen 

 plants other than orchids. These will be 

 plunged and the surface sodded over. 



It has been decided to allow the judges 

 a free hand the opening day, so that all 

 awards can be made and prize cards at- 

 tached before the opening, which will 

 not be until 8 p. m. On the first evening 

 a great outpouring of society is ex- 

 pected; admission, $3. On the second 

 and third days $1 admission will be 

 charged, and 50 cents on the last days. 

 Complimentary tickets will not be goo(l 

 until the third day. A superb orchestra 

 will furnish music each afternoon from 

 3 o 'clock to 5 o 'clock and in thb evenings 

 from 7:30 to 9:30. Some «f the leading 

 exhibitors will have special express cars 

 and will be on hand for preparatory work 

 early in the week of the exhibition.
