Remember the monthly meeting of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club April 

 21. Lecture by Prof. Rees, of Amherst; 

 discussion on S. A. F. affiliation, and 

 other important business. A large at- 

 tendance is particularly requested. 



The full force of H. M. Robinson & 

 Co. worked all night April 10 getting 

 Easter orders put up. They report busi- 

 ness as being splendid in evei*y depart- 

 ment. 



L, E. Small, of .Tewksbury, had a 

 splendid pick of Gloriosa, Rosette, Ben- 

 ora, Pink Delight, Yellow Prince and 

 Beacon carnations for Easter, and his 

 usual big lot of double cornflowers. 



McAlpine & McDonald were fairly 

 swamped with orders Easter week and 

 had to work with but little sleep the 

 whole week. They had a superb lot of 

 Beauty, Taft, Sunburst and Killarney 

 Queen roses. In cut Easter lilies they 

 did a tremendous business. 



The finest white snapdragon noted in 

 the local market is that coming from 

 John A. Nelson, of Framingham; his 

 Nelrose also is good. In carnations I 

 noted fine Pink Delight, White Wonder, 

 White Enchantress, White Perfection, 

 Beacon and Fenn. 



Frank J. Dolansky, in addition to a 

 heavy cut of gardenias and cattleyas, 

 had an elegant lot of large azaleas and 

 other pot plants. A. G. Pembroke now 

 is selling for him at his new stand in 

 the Boston Cooperative Flower Market. 



Thomas Roland sold practically every 

 salable flowering plant at his Nahant 

 establishment. From Revere he had a 

 fine cut of Killarney and White Killar- 

 ney, Russell, Sunburst, Shawyer and 

 Richmond roses. 



P. J. Donahoe, for the Boston Rose 

 Co., showed some magnificent Hadley 

 roses April 11, from the plant of the 

 Montgomery Co.; also splendid Killar- 

 ney, White Killarney and Richmond. 



Everett E. Cummings had 25,000 sin- 

 gle violets April 11, which was prac- 

 tically the wind-up of the season for 

 them. 



William A. Riggs had a fire in his 

 auto truck April 11, due to the carbu- 

 retor getting out of order. lie sold out 

 practically all of his flowering plants. 



Mann Bros, had 5,000 Lilium candi- 

 dum in April 11. These were of fine 

 quality and sold quickly. 



N. E. Boyle, of Maiden, never had so 

 good an Easter. Every lily sold, and 

 roses all cleaned up at good prices. 



Peirce Bros., of Waltham, had no 

 trouble in cleaning up all their Easter 

 lilies. They also had splendid pink 

 snapdragons, yellow marguerites, Kil-

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.
