trees a chance to establish themselves 

 in the new compost. Some trees need 

 removing, but no wholesale cutting 

 down is necessary. If such a man as 

 the late J. A. Pettigrew could have had 

 charge of Boston's Common, instead of 

 trusting its care to political experts, 

 the trees would be in a different con- 

 dition today. 



McAlpine & McDonald, the new 

 wholesalers, report that business started 

 with a rush April 1, and has kept it 

 up ever since. They are handling a 

 splendid lot of roses from S. J. Keuter, 

 "Westerly, E. I. The Ward roses with 

 4-foot stems, of McAlpine Bros., are 

 splendid. 



Paine Bros., of Randolph, have had a 

 successful bulb season. For Easter 

 their specialties are Golden Spur, Vic- 

 toria, Von. Sion and ornatus narcissi. 

 White Hawk, Flamingo and Murillo tu- 

 lips. 



Thomas F. Galvin's trade during 

 Lent this year has been much ahead of 

 that of 1913. For the funeral of B. F. 

 Keith, the theatrical manager, last 

 week, Galvin's had forty large designs, 

 a large number being ordered through 

 the Florists' Telegraph Delivery in dis- 

 tant cities where Keith theaters are lo- 

 cated. 



P. L. Carbone arrived home from an 

 extended European trip April 5, and all 

 is rush and bustle at the big and hand- 

 some Boylston street store. 



Peter Fisher has 40,000 rooted cut- 

 tings of his beautiful new light pink 

 carnation, Alice. This is proving to be 

 a prolific bloomer. It will be intro- 

 duced in 1914 and 1915. He reports 

 sales of Gorgeous as heavy. 



At the next meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, April 21, Prof. 

 Bees, of Amherst, will lecture on "Or- 

 charding." The question of affiliation 

 with the S. A. F. will come up for fur- 

 ther discussion. 



The Sutermeister Estate, of Eead- 

 ville, in addition to the regular line of 

 cut bulbous flowers, had an exception- 

 ally fine, stocky lot of tulips, narcissi 

 and hyacinths in pans, as well as 

 spiraeas for Easter. 



A novel penalty for juvenile court 

 criminals is being tried out by Judge 

 Bruce, of Maiden. Instead of sending 

 boys to correctional institutions he is 

 sentencing them to terms at raising 

 flowers and vegetables on vacant land 

 offered for the purpose. 



Mann Bros, have a nice crop of yel- 

 low and blue Spanish iris. In addition 

 to their regular bulb specialties, they

It tells the story of the best pink An- 

 tirrhinum in cultivation; a variety that 

 has been awarded more first prizes during 

 the past year than ALL OTHER Antir- 

 rhinums shown at American exhibitions; 

 a variety whose flowers have brought more 

 dollars per sq. foot than any other kind; a 

 variety whose introductory sale is making 

 a record that will not be beaten in many 

 years; and the only variety that will suit 

 the grower who takes pride in having 

 the best.
