BULBS A SECOND YEAR. 



Can you give any information in re- 

 gard to Dutch hyacinths, Von Sion and 

 Kmpress daffodil bulbs that were left 

 outside and bloomed in flats, as we 

 had too many for our needs? Would 

 these bulbs be worth saving and lift- 

 ing after they are thoroughly ripened, 

 and planting outside, as we would any 

 bulbs we might import? These bulbs 

 just bloomed and died down as if they 

 were planted in the ground, except that 

 they did not get quite so much mois- 

 ture. C. N. & G. 



Dutch hyacinths are not of much 

 value a second season, but the Von 

 Sion and Empress narcissi can be plant- 

 ed out in the fall and should bloom 

 quite well next year. Do not dry them 

 off too suddenly, or it will affect the 

 bulbs' development. Of course, after 

 the foliage has gone you can remove 

 the bulbs from the soil and store them 

 in flats in a cool shed or dry cellar.

BOSTON FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Field Day at Cliftondale. 



Delightful weather conditions favored 

 the members of the Boston Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club who made the jour- 

 ney to Cliftondale June 4 to inspect 

 William Sim 's large and well-kept place. 

 About sixty journeyed on a special car, 

 and there was a total attendance of 

 nearly 150. The genial Thomas Pegler, 

 the humorous and boisterous Mr. Hast- 

 ings and other Park street salesmen kept 

 everyone in good humor both going and 

 returning on the special. All branches 

 of the trade were well represented, and 

 T. Mellstrom, of Sanders & Sons, St. 

 Albans, England, was on hand to get 

 pointers for his brother growers on the 

 other side of the Atlantic. 



On arrival, aH* passed tiirough the 

 office and signed their names in an auto- 

 graph book, after which an inspectiofl" 

 of the houses was in order. Passing 

 through a melon house, the first of the 

 n^ff>«TOYi»- kou^s of tomatoes was en- 

 tered. Of these, about 50,000 are under 

 glass, each trained to a single stem,
