 year and has earned a rest. 



Mrs, Julius Heurlin and sons, "Victor 

 and Spencer, of the Blue Hill Nurseries, 

 South Braintree, were passengers on the 

 steamship Ivemia, for Liverpool, July 5. 

 Mr. Heurlin will join them in Europe a 

 little later on. 



E. Allan Peirce is busy arranging for a 

 special Pullman car for the Boston dele- 

 gation to the Bochester convention and 

 will be able to furnish all particulars as 

 to rates, route, etc., within a day or two. 

 The Seneca hotel will be the S. A. P. 

 headquarters, according to Secretary Dor- 

 ner, who states, however, that there are a 

 number of other excellent hotels on the 

 European plan. 



George W. Butterworth has arrived 

 safely in Europe and during the next few 

 weeks will be busy visiting orchid collec- 

 tions over there. 



The program of sports for the coming 



picnic of the Gardeners* and Florists' 

 Club is in the hands of the printers and 

 all arrangements are well advanced. There 

 will, as usual, be a goodly array of val- 

 uable and useful articles as prizes and 

 fine weather alone is needed to make the 

 affair a complete success.

of bloom. He did not thin out the old 

 wood any, which looks wrong to me, as 

 many of the bushes are quite dense. 

 I have not had much experience with 

 outdoor roses. J. J. W. 



Hybrid perpetual roses, which are the 

 varieties we presume you refer to, in- 

 cluding such sorts as General Jacque- 

 minot, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Paul 

 Neyron, Magna Charta, Frau Karl 

 Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, etc., do 



better if pruned back quite severely 

 each spring. The growths of the pre- 

 ceding year should be cut back so that 

 from two to four eyes only are left, 

 according to the strength of each. All 

 dead and weak wood should be cut away 

 entirely, and only strong, healthy shoots 

 retained. By pruning more lightly a 

 somewhat earlier lot of flowers can be 

 had, but they will lack the quality pro- 

 duced on plants cut back more severely. 

 Hybrid tea and tea roses must be cut 

 back much less severely than hybrid 

 perpetuals. Ramblers should have 

 none of the previous year's wood re- 

 moved, except such as is dead and weak.

PLANTS FOE MEMORIAL DAY. 



Please let me know when to plant the 

 seeds of stocks, petunias, salvias and 

 verbenas to have blooming plants by 

 Memorial dayf A. D. 



Sow stocks and petunias at the end 

 of February, Salvia splendens a month 

 later, and verbenas the middle of March. 

 The salvias are hardly likely to be 

 much in flower at Memorial day. As a 

 rule they do not bloom much before late 

 summer or early fall. Plants from cut- 

 tings will flower earlier than seedlings. 

 You will find hints as to the sowing 

 of these and other bedding plants in 

 the cultural department of The Review 

 throughout the season. C. W. 



Plqua, O.— Harry P* Smith has add- 

 ed a new line to his stock at his store 

 on North Main street. In addition to 

 his flowers, he will carry a good assort- 

 ment of books, periodicals, tobacco, etc.
