 lecture season. 



The members of the Boston Coopera- 

 tive Flower Market have secured a score 

 of silver cups and other trophies for 

 their market show, which will occur Sat- 

 urday, March 20. 



!E. Allan Peirce is already formulating 

 plans for a trade exhibition in 1910 

 which will surpass that of 1909, and 

 there is not the slightest doubt that he 

 will succeed. The Park Street market 

 is fortunate in having a secretary with 

 such energy and enthusiasm. 



Tliomas J. Grey has returned from a 

 business trip through Connecticut and re- 

 ports good business. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club is busy with 

 plans for the coming banquet, March 31, 

 which it is intended to make the "best 

 ever. 



Dutch bulb travelers are around in 

 force and report an improved business 

 over a year ago. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. are having 

 a heavy trade in cut flowers and green- 

 ery, much ahead of 1908. 



William Aylward is handling some fine 

 Acacia pubescens at the Park street mar- 

 ket. 



Thomas Roland, of Nahant, has 17,000 

 cyclamens in small pots coming along for 

 next winter's crop. The fine specimens 

 he exhibited at the trade show this week 

 were in 2%-inch pots a year ago. 



John P. Mossman, an orchid grower at 

 Langwater, North Easton, lost the sight 

 of his right eye February 26 as the re- 

 sult of an accident. 



Henry R. Comley is having good busi- 

 ness since opening his store at 6 Park 

 street. W. N. Ceaig. 



SWEET PEAS. 



Can sweet peas be flowered success- 

 fully under glass by October 1, and how 

 long will the crop last under good treat- 

 ment? How should I proceed? Please 

 state best varieties in. pink, white and 

 lavender. G. T. S. 



Start sweet peas about the middle of 

 July for October flowering. Seed can 

 either be sown in small pots or in flats 

 of sand and transplanted from there to 

 where they are to flower. They succeed 

 best in a wide house, where they can 

 have ample headroom. Solid beds are 

 preferred to benches by all the best 

 specialists. Rows should be five feet 

 apart to give the plants full justice. 

 Some prefer to allow them six feet. Sin- 

 gle plants tjvo inches .apart are suflS- 

 ciently thick. 



A compost of good loam, well enriched 

 with decayed manure, suits sweet peas. 

 While growing, an occasional surfacing 

 of fine bone or sheep manure can bo 

 forked in lightly.* The temperature-in sum- 

 mer will, of course, fluctuate much, but 

 plenty of ventilation should be afforded
