J 



specimen of P. triloba fl. pi. on the site 

 of the old Pftrkman estate was fine. The 

 azaleas are, coming into flower, A. Vaseyi 

 being w^Il open. It is charming near 

 Bnrtfa gjf4he many Avaterways. The Cornus 

 IS are going to be a grand sight 

 and will be at their ))est within a 

 Some beautiful trees of the pink 

 variety are included. In the nursery 

 were seen many new things, including a 

 batch of Wilson's new Chinese introduc- 

 tions from Veitch & Son, of London. 



The Willow Hill Greenhouses, West 

 Eoxbury, are having a fine cut of Gladi- 

 olus Blushing Bride and other bulbous 

 stock at present. 



April continued cool until its close. 

 This, however, has not detained carnation 

 growers from planting out their stock. 

 Some started Avork last week, while dur- 

 ing the present week about all are busy 

 getting the little plants out in the fields. 



Among visitors last week we were 

 pleased to see Joseph Freeman, of Los 

 Angeles, Cal., who is specially interested 

 in orchids. Mr. Freeman says that there 



is quite a boom in orchid culture in Cali- 

 fornia. 



The annual meeting and exhibition of 

 the American Peony Society will be held 

 in Horticultural hall, Boston, early in 

 June. The exact date cannot yet be an- 

 nounced. The Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society offers an attractive prize 

 list, in addition to those of the American 

 Peony Society, and local growers will 

 make a big display. 



The Eastern Nurseries, of Holliston, 

 of which Henry S. Dawson, son of the 

 veteran, Jackson Dawson, is proprietor, 

 have had the heaviest spring trade in 

 their history and have handled some large 

 orders. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club will occur May 17, the 

 week prior to the big orchid show. A 

 good program is being arranged for this 

 meeting. 



The store of J. Newman & Sons, on 

 Tremont street, is always an interesting 

 one to inspect. The windows are taste- 

 fully arranged with everything desirable 



and up-to-date. Orchids, yellow mar- 

 guerites, Spanish iris, gladioli and many 

 other seasonable flowers are used in a 

 pleasing and artistic manner. The firm 

 believes in advertising in the daily, as 

 well as trade papers, which accounts in 

 large measure for its constantly growing 

 business. 



Littlefield & Wyman, of North Abing- 

 ton, are handling some of the best carna- 

 tions seen in the local market at present. 

 Many of these are their own seedlings, 

 which are full of promise. 



R. C. Bridgham, who recently acquired 

 the store of Albert Scott, on Beacon 

 street, has don^ a splendid trade during 

 the last winter. The Newtonville Green- 

 houses of Mr. Bridgham supply much of 

 the material sold. 



Present indications are that cut flowers 

 will be at something of a premium for 

 Memorial day. The usual outdoor flow- 

 ers, such as lilacs, late tulips, etc., will 

 be all gone and some crops intended for 

 the end of May will be gone. Those who 

 are able to get good crops of indoor
