est terms of praise of their entertain- 

 ment there and are unanimous in pro- 

 nouncing the meeting the best ever 

 held. We look to see a record attend- 

 ance in Boston on the occasion of the 

 coming national show and convention 

 and Massachusetts should show a sub- 

 stantial increase in S. A. F. member- 

 ship before that time. 



Those who want to see Scotch 

 heather, Calluna vulgaris, at home and 

 blooming finely should visit Forest Hills 

 •cemetery. The genial superintendent 

 gardener, T. H. Westwood, ex-president 

 of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of 

 Boston, has a hillside resembling a 

 miniature scene in the Scotch highlands. 

 The subtropical effects here are unusually 

 good. Mr. Westwood is a past ma.^tev 

 with this class of bedding. One clump 

 of 2,000 Begonia gracilis is a beauti- 

 ful sight and there are many other 

 effects equally good, geraniums bloom- 

 ing with unusual profusion. 



Edward MacMulkin. has had excellent 

 summer business at his Boylston street 

 store. August 18 he had a decoration 

 of orchids for President Taft, which 

 he found some difficulty in procuring, 

 there being a decided scarcity of these 

 flowers at present. 



The two wholesale flower markets arc 

 busy cleaning up their stalls prepara 

 tory to the auction sales. That of the 

 Boston Flower Exchange, at C Park 

 street, occurs August 27, while the Bos- 

 ton Co-operative Flower Market has its 

 sale September 3. Elijah Cartwright 

 is president and John McFarland sec- 

 retary of the latter market and there 

 is every likelihood that the sales will 

 considerably exceed those of any pre- 

 vious year. Business has been extra 

 good since moving to 2 Park street.

 fine asters at his stall at 2 Park street.

James Tulis, of South Sudbury, was 

 one of the first in the market with 

 extra good outdoor grown carnations. 

 He also has asters of first-class qual- 

 ity. The Sudbury soil seems particu- 

 larly well adapted to the culture of 

 these. Sam Beck makes an eflScient 

 salesman for Mr. Tulis' flowers. 



The sum of $4,000,000 has been ex 

 pended by the national government^ 

 states, cities and private individualw 

 in fighting the gypsy and brown tail 

 moths in New England since 1905. The 

 greater part of this money, probably 

 nine-tenths, has been spent in Massa 

 chusetts, yet in spite of increased ef- 

 forts at suppression the infested area 

 continues to grow and now exceeds 

 7,900 square miles. The fight prom- 

 ises to be a long, hard and costly one 

 and the greatest hope lies in the in- 

 crease 6f pai'?isite,fb?8 tp a point where 

 they can control the pests, as in Europe.

Bloomsburg, Pa. — The greenhouses of 

 the J. L. Dillon estate, which are among 

 the largest and best in this part of the 

 state, were established in a compara- 

 tively small way by the late J, L. Dil- 

 lon in 1875. The original houses are 

 located near the Normal school, and as 

 they stand today make a group of 

 twelve, comprising something over 40,- 

 000 square feet of glass. Seventeen 

 years ago the houses on Fifth street 

 were commenced and' these have been 

 added .tp.frpm time' tG time until now 

 they contain over 100,00ft square feet 

 ot glass. The business is conducted by 

 Mrs. Dillon, assisted bv her son, M. G. 

 Dillon.
