bulbous flowers. They are still send- 

 ing in large lots of narcissi, in addi- 

 tion to callas and carnations. 



In one of Carbone's windows April 

 25 I noted a charming arrangement of 

 yellow laburnums and yellow and or- 

 ange Azalea mollis, not packed close 

 together, but loosely arranged so as to 

 show each plant's individuality. In 

 another window was a fine bowl of 

 hardy blue larkspurs, in addition to 

 Spanish iris, izias and pink snap- 

 dragons. 



H. M. Eobinson & Co. report trade as 

 good, with long-stemmed Beauties in 

 special demand. They now have their 

 extensive Memorial day stock arranged 

 attractively. 



In the list of awards made at the 

 last club meeting one or two errors ap- 

 peared in last week's report. Charles 

 Sander showed a plant of Cyrtopodium 

 Aliciffi, an orchid but rarely seen, car- 

 rying an immense branched spike of 

 flowers. W. N. Craig secured a report 

 of superior merit for antirrhinums, and 

 a report of merit for Narcissus Olym- 

 pia, a large trumpet variety. 



E. J. Ahern, of Wellesley, is one of 

 the heaviest shippers of English prim- 

 roses to the wholesale markets this rea- 

 son; he also specializes in calendulas. 



A. E. Walsh is getting excellent lily 

 of the valley and Spanish iris from W. 

 Jurgens, while mignonette and snap- 

 dragons from the Halifax Garden Co. 

 are good. 



F. J. Dolansky is now 'cutting some 

 good Cattleya gigas, in addition to 

 ^ossisB and Schroederas. His gardenias 

 are of grand quality. Mr. Dolansky v>

this season receiving some heavy im- 

 portations of orchids. 



A great suffrage demonstration and 

 street parade in Boston May 2 prom- 

 ises to stimulate the cut flower busi- 

 ness. The anti-suffragidts have an- 

 nounced their intention of wearing red 

 roses and donating them to all who are 

 willing to wear them. Now^ if the suf- 

 fragists will select white 'or ^ink ones, 

 the rose men will feel much happier 

 than they did April 25. 



Welch Bros, were doing a first-class 

 business April 25. Flowers were over- 

 abundant, but their shipping trade was 

 using large numbers and the firm was 

 optimistic as to the future.
