Governor Draper in an artistic manner 

 and received many compliments for their 

 work. 



Mr. Penn, on Bromfield street, is dis-

 500 Campbell violets each, grown by W. 

 B. Goodenow, of Stoughton. 



F. W. Fletcher Co., of Auburndale, is 

 sending a fine lot of gypsophila to the 

 Park street market. 



W. E. Doyle had a magnificent cross 

 of Carnot roses and valley for a funeral 

 April 21. Carnot roses are scarce at this 

 season around Boston. 



J. T. Butterworth is starting on his 

 crop of Cattleya Mossise, which this sea- 

 son is better than ever. He is importing 

 a number of hybrid cattleyas from Eu- 

 rope. 



In the arboretum and parkway system 

 the forsythias are in full glory at 

 present. Magnolias, Spiraea Thunbergii, 

 Cornus Mas and other early shrubs are 

 all in season. Winter damage is unusu- 

 ally light and the recent copious rains 

 have made trees and shrubs revel. 



The Bay State Nurseries report busi- 

 ness the present spring as phenomenally 

 good, far exceeding all previous records. 



Inquiry at the several seed stores 

 elicits the fact that trade shows a big 

 increase over last year and looks like 

 being the best ever. 



The next exhibition at Horticultural 

 hall comes May 22 and 23, when bulbous 

 flowers, pelargoniums, calceolarias, pan- 

 sies and vegetables will be features.

Samuel Neil is on the jury that is 

 hearing the famous case of Leo McCul- 

 lough, formerly president of the Boston 

 Common Council, and Lawyer James T. 

 Cassidy, on charges of conspiracy and 

 larceny arising out of an investigation 

 made by the finance commission relating 

 to the payment by the city of Boston of 

 $200 for a set of Massachusetts Reports 



to be placed in the room of the president 

 of the council. 



WASHINGTON. 



Qab Dinner. 



Members of the Washington Florists' 

 Club, their wives, sweethearts and 

 friends, made merry at the annual ban- 

 quet, held at Congress Hall hotel on the 

 evening of April 20. 



You could easily tell it was a florists' 

 banquet. Evidences of their decorative 

 art were on every side and the speeches 

 were flowery at times, although Toast- 

 master William F. Gude opened festivi- 

 ties by saying it wasn't to be a talkfest 

 particularly. F. H. Kramer, recently re- 

 elected president of the club, side-stepped 

 when it came to presiding, and boldly an- 

 nounced at the beginning that Mr. Gude 

 would act for the rest of the evening. 

 Mr. Gude looked surprised a bit, but, evi- 

 dently remembering that Mr. Kramer was 

 appearing at the annual banquet for the 

 first time as a benedict (he married just 

 about a month ago), Mr. Gude got on the 

 job, just as though he were presiding at 

 a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. 



If there was one surprised man at the 

 banquet it was George Shaffer, who re- 

 cently retired as secretary of the club. 

 Mr. Gude first said a lot of nice things 

 about Mr. Shaffer's energy, ability, and 

 determination to do all the work, which 

 caused the former secretary to look a 

 little abashed. Just then the music 

 started up. Mr. Gude held up a warning 

 hand and, reaching under the table, be- 

 gan to unwrap something, A moment 

 later he had placed in the hands of the 

 astonished Mr. Shaffer a handsome silver 

 tray. The retiring secretary expressed 

 his surprised thanks, amusing the crowd 

 considerably when he said he "wished it 

 had been done a little more privately. ' ' 



Between the speeches, in order that the

 to say, the Greater Washington Quartet 

 was heard in several popular selections. 

 Pistoria's band kept playing the balance 

 of the time, making everybody feel
