(OoDtinued from page 12.) 

 spiraeas and other flowering stock were 

 all in first-class shape for Easter. The 

 houses of adiantums and other ferns 

 were never better. An abundance of 

 bedding stock and plants for Memorial 

 day were crying for additional bench 

 room. 



The visitors were served with refresh- 

 ments by Mrs. Edgar, after which Presi- 

 dent Downs voiced the thanks of the com- 

 pany for the entertainment and regretted 

 unfavorable weather had kept many 

 away. W, J. Stewart replied on behalf 

 of Mrs. Edgar. After a few words from 

 M. H. Norton an adjournment was made 

 to the range of Edgar Bros., where Rob- 

 ert S. and 1 rank were on hand to "show 

 the visitors two big houses of sweet peas 

 in splendid bloom, just in heavy crop for 

 Easter. The varieties grown are Mrs. A. 

 Wallace, Mrs. F. J. Dolansky, Christmas 

 Pink and Florence Denzer. 



The last place visited was the big es- 

 tablishment of Peirce Bros., in Waltham. 

 Here E. Allan Peirce took the party in 

 charge. Carnations in several large 

 houses looked well. The leading varieties 

 grown are Lawson, Winsor, Beacon, En- 

 chantress and White Perfection; batches 

 of several seedlings and newer varieties 

 were also noted. One house containing 

 75,000 young carnations in pots was a 

 fine sight. A propagating house con- 

 tained about 100,000 cuttings of carna- 

 tions and mums. Cement benches are a 

 feature in all houses here. 



There were 35,000 giganteum lilies in 

 prime condition for Easter. All are sold. 

 It is doubtful if a finer lot can be seen 

 in the^eountry. Azaleas were splendid, 

 many large plants being exceptionally 

 fine. The firm's big auto trucks are now 

 being kept busy delivering loads of 

 plants in many cities and towns. 



Boston was reached about 6 o'clock, 

 after a most enjoyable outing.

proach to it was in 1872, 'when a big 

 rhododendron show under canvas on Bos- 

 ton Common attracted a tremendous 

 crowd. There were grave doubts as to 

 how attendances would hold out the sec- 

 ond week, but they increased steadily 

 each day, the closing day seeing the halls 

 crowded, and many regrets were expressed 

 that the main features could not be con- 

 tinued a week longer. 



The Japanese garden of E. & J. Far- 

 quhar & Co. was even in better condition 

 at the close of the exhibition than at the 

 opening. The big banks of forsythias 

 were a mass of golden yellow and the 

 bed* of azaleas were just at their best.
