SEEDLING SILV£R PlffK 



SNAPDRAGON PLANTS like the small ones, that will grow to be 

 like the large one, now ready at only $4.00 per 100, $36.00 per 1000. 

 They are ready for flowering without further topping. A plant that 

 will carry 40 to 50 flower spikes at its base needs no figuring to show you 

 the profit that it will bring. It "beats the Dutch" (and French, too) 

 how it produces. It simply branches all over, and every shoot is a " live 

 wire," developing into a stately, salable flower spike, giving more dollars 

 to the square foot than any plant in existence. 



Remember, we are talking about seedlinQS — my Original 

 Silver Pinlc. We do NOT grow from cuttings. Order plants today 

 and sow seed now for spring sales and summer blossoms. Price, $1.00 

 per packet ; 3 for $2.50 ; 7 for $5.00. Cash.

 benches, which are a fine sight. They 

 are cutting quantities of Formosa lilies. 

 They report giganteums as being quite 

 dwarf this season. 



McAlpine Bros., of Exeter, are plan- 

 ning to exhibit some of their choice 

 roses at coming exhibitions. Beauties, 

 Richmonds and Wards are particularly 

 good now. 



Peter Hylen, of Randolph, is a bulb 

 specialist whose flowers of W. T. Ware, 

 Golden Spur, Von Sion and Princeps 

 narcissi, and La Reine and Murillo 

 tnlips are especially good just now. 



Recent callers have included George 

 E. Baldwin, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; John 

 Scheepers, New York, and Dutch bulb 

 men from over seas too numerous to 

 mention. 



In F. H. Houghton 's window March 

 7 I noted well flowered baskets of Den- 

 drobium nobile, square baskets charm- 

 ingly arranged with bunches of double 

 daisies, pansies and ferns, and numer- 

 ous miniature pots of Scilla Sibirica. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club's 

 annual field day at the W. W. Edgar 

 Co. is always looked forward to with 

 pleasure and there will be the usual 

 large attendance March 28. The estab- 

 lishments of Peirce Bros., Waltham, and 

 A. M. Davenport, Watertown, will be 

 visited also, if time permits, by many 

 of the members. 



Noted in H. R. Comley's window 

 March 7 were vases of hybrid freesias 

 in several colors, clivias, oncidiums,

At Penn 's some beautiful specimen 

 Tausendschon roses were noted March 

 7, also fine masses of amaryllis, lilacs 

 and other plants. The new Hadley rose 

 is proving popular here. Henry Penn 

 says its delightful odor makes it a great 

 seller. 



W. R. Nicholson ■ has, as usual, the 

 grandest mignonette of any local 

 grower. He is now getting a good cut 

 of yellow marguerites. Carnations look

 active demand.

The new market of the Boston Co- 

 operative Market was opened March 9. 

 There was a full attendance of stall- 

 holders and buyers were numerous. 

 Everyone seemed delighted with the 

 commodious and up-to-date quarters. 

 Considerable work remains to be done 

 on spaces leased to a number of large 

 growers, such as Messrs. Roland, Sim, 

 McAlpine, Dolansky and Budlong, but 

 everything will be completed and in 

 apple-pie order before the exhibition,
