 peas, Pink Beauty being especially fine,

VariotiB Notes. 



Everything points to a fine exhibition 

 at Music Hall market, March 20. The 

 attractive list of special prizes offered 

 by the Boston Co-operative Flower Mar- 

 ket is certain to bring out a splendid lot 

 of exhibits. Particularly keen will be 

 the competition in the carnation classes. 

 There is no charge for admission and a 

 cordial invitation is extended to every- 

 one to visit the show. 



Edgar Bros., of Waverley, have two 

 large houses of sweet peas just coming 

 into crop. The varieties are Florence 

 Denzer, Christmas Pink and Mrs. Alex- 

 ander "Wallace. Chrysanthemums anjj 

 sweet peas are this firm's specialties. 



They are also planning to grow mush- 

 rooms for summer. 



Among recent visitors were Albert 

 Pochelon, of the L. Bemb Floral Co., 

 Detroit, and Arthur Zirkman, of M. 

 Rice & Co., Philadelphia. The latter 

 did a heavy business in his firm's spe- 

 cialties. 



All the stores have made specialties 

 of shamrocks the last week and there 

 was a heavy sale of them. Green car- 

 nations were, as usual, much in evidence, 

 green roses and other flowers being also 

 on sale for St. Patrick's day. 



The six weeks have now elapsed since 

 the ground hog made his initial appeiar- 

 ance, so we may expect spring weather. 

 Practically all frost and ice have dis- 

 appeared from this vicinity, which is 

 much earlier than usual. 



J. W. Duncan is attending a meeting 

 of the executive committee of the Amer- 

 ican Park Superintendents in Buffalo 

 this week. 



Visitors include H. A. Barnard, the 

 veteran traveler for Hugh Low & Co.^ 

 Enfield, England. Mr. Barnard has been 

 with Low & Co. for forty-eight years, 

 but this is his first American trip. He 

 attended the meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, March 16. 



William Sim will have a heavy pick of 

 single violets for Easter, from frames. 

 The varieties Kaiser "Wilhelm and 

 Baronne Eothschild are both good with 

 him. 



Welch Bros, report business as show- 

 ing a vast improvement over a year ago. 

 They are anticipating a record breaking 

 Easter. Lilies in pots in cases will be 

 a specialty again this season. Of these 

 they sold a big quantity a year ago. 



The Boston Globe of March 14 con- 

 tained an interesting illustrated article 

 on the fine Japanese garden being con- 

 structed and planted by Farquhar & 

 Co. for the spring flower show of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 which opens March 24. 



W. N. Craig. 



Toledo, O. — Krueger Bros, are arrang- 

 ing to build three more carnation houses 

 at their country place, out on Woodville 

 street. The houses will be 30x256 feet 

 each.
