Rhea Beid is seen, while Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward is quite popular. There are alto- 

 gether too many carnations. Enchant- 

 ress is coming paler, but Pink Delight 

 holds its color well. White Perfection 

 and White Enchantress are leaders in 

 their respective colors. 



Violets are arriving in immense quan- 

 tities. The singles are remarkably fine, 

 but a continuation of warm weather will 

 finish many of them, as foliage is now 

 coming up heavily. Bulbous flowers are 

 in heavy supply, too many for the mar- 

 ket's needs. Spanish iris, Murillo and 

 Couronne d 'Or tulips, ixias, sparaxis and 

 Gladiolus The Bride are all now to be 

 seen. Lilies are plentiful, but sales are 

 slow. The same is the case with callas. 

 There is a good sale for English prim- 

 roses and pansies. Wallflowers, forget- 

 me-nots, calendulas, annual lupines and 

 other spring flowers are selling fairly 

 well. Sweet peas are in heavy supply; 

 long-stemmed flowers are bringing a 

 good price, but many are only cleared 

 at unprofitable rates. Lily of the valley 

 moves rather slowly, as do gardenias, 

 which latter are now much more abun- 

 dant. Cattleyas are not overplentiful, 

 and neither are cypripediums, but there 

 is an abundant supply of dendrobiums 

 and coelogynes. Good adiantum is not 

 overplentiful, and neither is smilax, but 

 Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are 

 in better 8ui)ply and selling fairly well. 



Trade in pot plants is much better. 

 Average prices on lilies are 12iA cents 

 per bud. In addition to longiflorum 

 giganteuni, quite a few Formosa are 

 being grown. The last named seem prac- 

 tically immune from disease. Bambler 

 roses, acacias, genistas, astilbes. nietro- 

 sideros and other plants are seen in 

 quantities in the stores and advance 

 sales indicate a heavier Piaster plant 

 market than ever. 



VariotM Notes. 



Miss Laura Dawson, daughter of Jack- 

 son Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, 

 read a splendid paper on ' ' Horticulture 

 as a Vocation for Women ' ' at Horticul- 

 tural hall, March 5. Miss Dawson con- 

 sidered that in the realms of landscape 

 gardening, commercial floriculture and 

 in positions as head gardeners thete was 

 a good field for women, but thought their 

 future in the west would be better than 

 in the east. In the discussion follow- 

 ing the paper Duncan Finlayson, Robert 

 Cameron and W. N. Craig had their say 

 on behalf of the stern sex. W. P. Rich 

 thought health considerations should in- 

 duce more women to cultivate flowers
