generally is quiet. Owing to the low 

 temperature prevailing, the sale of bed- 

 ding plants, even of the hardier kind, 

 has been limited. 



Various Notes. 



Edward Hatch, the popular secretary 

 of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, is 

 expected home about May 25, much im- 

 proved in health. 



S. J. Goddard continues to ship quanti- 

 ties of fine Helen Goddard carnations to 

 the Park street market. The color of 

 this variety makes it one of the best 

 sellers. 



The weather bureau informs us that 

 April temperatures averaged higher than 

 usual. It seems hard to credit it after 

 such a siege of cold, sunless weather as 

 we have lately experienced. April 30 was 

 the coldest day of the month, the maxi- 

 mum temperature being only 38 degrees. 



A few carnation growers started plant- 

 ing out their stock this week, but the 

 majority, owing to the cool weather, will 

 wait a few days longer. 



J. Tailby & Son, of Wellesley, are 

 handling an exceptionally fine quality of 

 Spanish iris at present. 



The next field day of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club will be about the mid- 

 dle of June, when E. J. Shaylor's peony 

 gardens in Wellesley will be the objective 

 point. 



W. McM. Brown, late of North Easton, 

 is now in charge of the glass department 

 at Menlo Park, Cal. 



W. W. Edgar Co. are having a heavy 

 demand for bedding plants and are plan- 

 ning for a big Memorial day business. 



At the Harvard Botanic Gardens, Rob- 

 ert Cameron has a large and varied dis- 

 play of tulips, narcissi and other bulbous 

 plants now coming in season. 



Dottie S., the fast horse owned by 

 Michael P. Fahey, the fiorist at 408 West 

 Broadway, recently won two more blue 

 ribbons. 



April 26 some miscreant cut and 

 slashed 1,700 shade trees at the Bay 

 State Nurseries, completely ruining them. 

 Much indignation is felt over the mat- 

 ter in North Abington and a special town 

 meeting will be held in regard to it. 

 W. H. Wyman has been instrumental in 

 having the town laws rigidly enforced 

 and this is believed to be the cause of 

 the spoliation. W. N. Ceaig. 



WASHINGTON. 



J. M. Hammer & Sons, at 64 Florida 

 avenue northeast, have filed a petition in 

 voluntary bankruptcy. The debts are 

 listed at $2,803.94 and assets at $523. 

 Among the creditors are the following 

 foreign concerns: Jacs Smits, of Naar- 

 den, Holland, $537.25; H. Zipp & Co., 

 Leisse, Holland, $400; C. J. Speelman, 

 of Sassenheim, Holland, $200, and C. 

 Kuer & Son, of Hillegom, Holland, $50. 



Wayne, Pa. — Howard Clark is making 

 preparations for the building of two 

 greenhouses, each 18x100, and a potting 

 house, 20x30.
