but pansies, myosotis, daisies, etc., are in 

 good request, and geraniums are becom- 

 ing quite a feature at the stores. Trade 

 in flowering plants, which was dull a week 

 or two following Easter, is now consider- 

 ably improved and all are looking forward 

 to a heavy Memorial day trade. 



Various Notes. 



Remember the meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, April 26. A 

 number of timely topics will be allotted 

 ten minutes each. Exhibits will be un- 

 usually interesting, especially of hardy 

 plants. A new treasurer will be elected 

 and there is considerable other important 

 business to come up. 



Peirce Bros., of Waltham, are this year 

 making a great specialty of gladioli for 



Memorial day. Of America, May and 

 other popular sorts they are growing 

 many thousands. 



Wheeler & Co., the Waban orchid spe- 

 cialists, are cutting a fine crop of Cat- 

 tleya Mossiffi. They also have a nice va- 

 riety of other seasonable orchids. 



William C. Ward, of Quincy, the pansy 

 specialist, is now shipping some fine Jack 

 Rose dahlias to Thomas Pegler at the 

 Park Street market. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. report busi- 

 ness as good, with excellent shipping or- 

 ders. Of valley, cattleyas. Beauties, gar- 

 denias and other choice flowers they carry 

 fine stocks. 



George W. Butterworth, of South Fra- 

 mingham, became of age last week. Mr. 



Butterworth has been an efficient sales- 

 man for some years and is still, we be- 

 lieve, the youngest in his class. 



Penn Bros., the up-to-date Bromfield 

 street florists, are always hustling. Their 

 window last week, of yellow marguerites 

 and Hiawatha roses, was especially 

 pretty. They are handling some good cat- 

 tleyas from Seth Borden, of FaD River. 



Julius H. Zinn is showing, among other 

 plants, some nice Ivy Geranium Alice 

 Crousse, calceolarias and Canterbury bells. 



Julius Heurlin, of the Blue Hill Nurs- 

 eries, says he does not remember a sea- 

 son when it was so difficult to keep 

 abreast of orders for nursery stock. The 

 extreme dryness of the soil has increased 

 the work. August Zirngiebel, son of the 

 late Denys Zirngiebel, of Needham, and 

 now located at East Norwich, N. Y., was 

 in town last week and his many old 

 friends were glad to meet him once 

 more. 



Letters from John W. Duncan, now 

 at Spokane, indicate that he is kept busy 

 in the western city, addressing improve- 

 ment associations, women's clubs and 

 other bodies. The city- is asking for a 

 $1,000,000 loan for park and boulevard 

 development, and wUl vote on it May 3. 

 At this time a favorable vote seems prob- 

 able. 



The forsythias in the parkways and 

 arboretum never looked more beautiful 

 than at present. There seems to have 

 been little winter-killing among shrubs. 

 Many of the prunua family are also now 

 at their best. Even lilacs are already 

 opening. The variety oblata had flowers 

 open as early as April 15. 



Rhea Reid and Beacon Hill roses at 

 W. H. Elliott's are each now exception-
