NEWPORT, R. I. 



The joint committee of the Newport 

 Horticultural Society and Newport 

 Garden Association, in charge of the ar- 

 rangements for the flower show on the 

 Wetmore lot, has decided to hold the 

 show June 24 to 26, and W. A. Manda, 

 of Short Hills, N. J., who had charge of 

 the outdoor show last summer, has beeu 

 engaged as superintendent. 



The plan provides for a driveway 

 from Bellevue avenue ending at the 

 main tent, which will be extended 

 across the lot^from north to south, and 

 be open to the west. The driveway will 

 be bordered by trees in tubs and at the 

 end near the tent will be a sunken lily 

 pond. On either side of the main drive- 

 way there will be an arrangement of 

 small gardens. 



John W. Gibson was a business vis- 

 itor in Boston last week. 



Charles Parker, with Carl Jurgeus, 

 was in Boston last week, combining 

 business with pleasure. W. H. M.

The Market. 



Business, while not brisk last waek, 

 was better than could have been hoped 

 for. The cold weather restricted the 

 output, and fairly good clearances were 

 made. There still are few American 

 Beauty roses coming in, but other va- 

 rieties are arriving more freely. Kil- 

 larney Queen, Taft, Russell, Killarney 

 and Richmond all sell well. The last 

 named is not yet seen of its best qual- 

 ity. Killarney, however, is coming in 

 fine. Mrs. Ward cleans up the best of 

 the yellow roses, but some good Sun- 

 burst and Hillingdon also are seen. Car- 

 nations hold up well, and prices are 

 fully as good as a week ago. The same 

 holds true of violets, although there is 

 a noticeable increase in numbers. 



Sweet peas fire abundant and good. 

 There is a great range in prices. The 

 finest Spencers make $2, while short- 

 stemmed grandifloras do not bring more 

 than 25 to 35 cents per hundred. Bulb- 

 ous stock is increasing steadily in num- 

 bers and variety, but there has not been 

 any particular surplus except in Paper 

 Whites and daflfodils. Murillo tulips 

 make $4 per hundred; fancy Golden 

 Spurs, $3; the bulk of other sorts, $1.50 

 to $2 per hundred. Mignonette is good, 

 but a little overdone. Freesia is still 

 good. Of lilies and callas the supply is, 

 on most days, in excess of the demand. 

 Yellow marguerites sell from $1.50 to 

 $4 per hundred, and thousands more 

 could be sold daily. Several prominent 

 growers failed to carry their plants 

 over the summer, and this has reduced 

 the output. There are calls from New 

 York and Philadelphia for bofn mar- 

 guerites and bachelor's buttons. Such 

 snapdragons as are of salable color go 

 quickly. Good calendulas, wallflowers, 

 anemones, tritonias, English primroses, 

 dimorplroyiW&s,'' and pansies are- seen* 

 among the miscellanejjps flowers. -** 

 jLily of the valley, which is now all 

 from last season's pips, ifti«'\AifMally

 tinue to sell somewhat low; they still

are plentiful. Of dendrobes, ccelogynes, 

 phalffiuopsis and other varieties, the 

 supply is adequate. Gardenias are com- 

 ing in more freely, but have cleaned up 

 well. As for asparagus and ferns, the 

 call has been fairly good. 



Jn the way of pot plants, bulbous 



stock now shows up prominently, in ad- 

 dition to genistas, acacias, ericas, aza- 

 leas and cyclamens. A few polyantha 

 and rambler roses have also made their 

 appearance. There are also a number 

 of lilacs, prunus, mains and other forced 

 deciduous shrubs. 



Club Meeting. 



Severe weather and deep snow per- 

 ceptibly reduced the attendance at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists'' 

 Club February 17, but over 100 mem- 

 bers were present. The lecturer of the 

 evening, L. W. C. Tuthill, whose topic 

 was to be "Advertising, the Gasoline 

 of Business," failed, however, to mate- 

 rialize, much to the disappointment of 

 many present and would-be advertisers. 

 President Kennedy appointed the fol- 

 lowing committee to serve with him to 

 represent the club with the general com- 

 mittee of fifty, which will have charge 

 of arrangements for the coming S. A. F. 

 convention: W. N. Craig, William Sim, 

 Duncan Finlayson, Peter Fisher, George 

 M. Anderson, William Downs, H. H. 

 Bartsch and J. G. Duguid. Two new 

 members were elected. An invitation 

 from the W. W. Edgar Co., for the 

 club to hold a field day at Waverley 

 March 28, was referred to the execu- 

 tive committee. 



The severe cold reduced the number 

 of exhibits materially, but there was,, 

 nevertheless, a good display. Hadley
