BOSTON NOTES. 



I Continued from page 14.] 



F. W. Fletcher had a big wedding 

 decoration June 6, using, among other 

 ttowers, hundreds of double pink peonies. 

 He has another wedding decoration of 

 large proportions later in the week. 



A. R. Hutson, the genial salesman for 

 W. H. Elliott, had a strenuous time last 

 week, when he disposed of a quarter of 

 a million roses. Even this number he 

 expects will be far eclipsed another 

 season. 



William E. Doyle's window on Boyls- 

 ton street looked pretty last week with 

 a tasteful arrangement of pink cat- 

 tleyas and sweet peas of the Spencer 

 type, on green velvet. 



John Barr, of South Natick, is still 

 marketing an extra fine lot of hydran- 

 geas at 2 Park street. Like all plants 

 handled by Mr. Barr, they possess the 

 earmarks of high-class culture. 



Henry R. Comley, on Park street^ had 

 some handsome vases of scarlet gladioli 

 last week in his always interesting win- 

 dow display. Orchids, Spencer sweet 

 peas, gardenias and about every other 

 choice flower in season was also repre- 

 sented. 



No better scarlet carnations are now 

 seen than the flowers of Red Prince 

 from Backer & Co., handled by W. F. 

 Aylward. All the other carnations 

 from the same firm are extra fine. 



Philip L. Carbone always manages 

 to keep his windows attractive, with- 

 out using the masses of material other 

 florists think necessary. A big vase of 

 Smilacina racemosa looked uncommonly 

 pretty last week. Small tables deco- 

 rated' with separate colors of sweet 

 peas also showed excellent taste. 



The baseball team from the Park 

 street market journeyed to Madbury, 

 N. H., June 4 and enjoyed a first-class 

 game with W. H. Elliott's employees. 

 The visitors were well entertained and 

 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the 

 Granite State. 



The beautiful estate of Nathaniel 



Thayer, of South Lancaster, of which 

 A. P. Mereditii is superintendent, was 

 opened to the public June 2 to 5 and 

 attracted hosts of visitors. The great 

 attraction was the display of 5,000 

 hybrid rliododendrons. 



. A happy combination of summer and 

 winter was noted at i' Park street June 

 3, when the stalwart W. R. Nicholson 

 arrived arrayed in a fur-lined coat and 

 brand new straw hat. 



James Farquhar's opinion of the so- 

 called disease so prevalent this season 

 among hard%' lilies of all kinds is that 

 it is due to the numerous late spring 

 frosts we have had. These frosts still 

 continue and potatoes and other crops 

 were blackened as late as June 4 in 

 some places. 



The funeral of Ex-mayor George Hib- 

 bard, June 1, made considerable busi- 

 ness for the leading retailers. There 

 were 450 funeral designs in all, many 

 being elaborate and costly. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club, after care- 

 ful consideration, has decided to hold 

 the next club picnic at Pine Banke 

 Park, Maiden, July 27. Pine Banks 

 Park was selected as the picnic venue 

 in 1908 and proved satisfactory in 

 nearly every way. 



William F. Aylward is handling a 

 fine grade of Carnots, Brides, Maids 

 and other roses at C Park street, the 

 product of Mr. Aylward, Sr. 



Julius H. Zinn, at 2 Park street, is 

 still making a feature of Rose Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward. He has also a fine line of 

 orchids, splendid sweet peas and 

 gladioli, and among other pot plants 

 some nice gnaphalium (edelweiss). 



Thomas F. Galvin sold more designs, 

 bouquets and loose flowers for Memorial 

 day than ever before in his history, the 

 quantity being enormous. Other retail- 

 ers also report similarly good trade. 



John Booth succeeds E. O. Orpet in 

 charge of the E. V. R. Thayer estuto. 

 He has been greenhouse foreman ti.ere 

 for some time. 



Another big orchid show in Bosto jn 

 1913 is already being discussed. "Viilua- 

 ble lessons learned at the late show will 

 enable the committee in charge to m iko 

 needed changes. It is hoped some olher 

 city will, however, step forward imd 

 get up a similar exhibition between 

 now and the next Boston show. 



A. E. Thatcher, of the Arnold Aiior- 

 etum, delivered an interesting leilurc 

 on "Trees and Shrubs" before the 

 North Shore Horticultural Society, 

 June 3. 



E. O. Orpet, for twenty years in 

 charge of the E. V. R. Thayer estate, 

 South Lancaster, Mass., leaves tiiere 

 .luly 1, to assume the superintendency 

 of the estate of Cyrus H. McCorniick, 

 Lake Forest, HI. Mr. Orpet will .Inly 

 1 have rounded out twenty years of 

 service to the day. He is one of the 

 best known practical gardeners in 

 New England, and has made a special 

 name for himself in the successful 

 hybridization of orchids, many new and 

 unique varieties originating at South 

 Lancaster. His many friends in and 

 around Boston are sorry to lose him, 

 but congratulate him on his new ap- 

 pointment. 



Killing frosts occurred June 4 in 

 many parts of Massachusetts. Whole 

 fields of potatoes, beans and tomatoes 

 were blackened and great damage done 

 to other tender vegetable and flower 

 crops. Weather continues abnormallv 

 cool for June, but we are getting an 

 abundance of moisture.
