Loddigesii received honorable mention; 

 Cypripedium Dante magnificum re- 

 ceived a silver medal and Cypripedium 

 TityuB a first class certificate. Other 

 plants shown included Acineta Lod- 

 digesii, carrying a raceme of fifteen

 splice of twenty-one flowers, and Cypri- 

 pedium William McKinley. 



The following officers were elected at

 F. H. Appleton, H. E. Fiske and F. W. 

 Damon. There being no contest for any 

 of the officers, a light vote was cast. 



William Sim is now picking about 

 100,000 violets weekly. He is restrict- 

 ing himself almost entirely to Princess 

 of Wales. The new variety, Boston, 

 has been entirely dropped. He has a 

 small batch of the new anemone-cen- 

 tered variety, Cyclops. He is now pick- 

 ing sweet peas of excellent quality from 

 one of his 360-foot houses. 



E. & J. Farquhar are planning to 

 center their nursery and greenhouse 

 business at Dedham, where they have 

 plans prepared for a splendid block of 

 modern houses fitted with every con- 

 venience, including tracks for hauling 

 plants to and from the houses. Their 

 plant, when completed, will be one of 

 the finest in the east. 



November 19 Edward MacMulkin had 

 an attraction in his big show window 

 in the form of a miniature football 

 field with players, representing the ri-

val Harvard and Yale teams, which at- 

 tracted considerable attention. 



Kidder Bros, are picking 12,000 vio- 

 lets a week, the quality being superb. 

 They state that plants are producing 

 sparingly so far this season. Other vio- 

 let specialists have the same complaint. 



S. J. Eeuter, at C Park street, has a 

 fine lot of Chrysanthemum Dolly 

 Dimple, a pale yellow reflexed variety, 

 also W. T. Brock and splendid Nagoya. 

 The latter is a popular deep yellow in 

 Boston. 



A recent call on Duncan FHnlayson, 

 at the Larz Anderson estate, found all 

 the greenhouses well stocked with finely 

 grown winter-flowering plants. In the 

 carnation houses May Day looked fine, 

 as did Winsor, Beacon and Enchantress. 

 The roses grown are chiefly Killarney 

 and White Killarney. Calanthes were 

 unusually fine and a number of the ves- 

 tita section were already in bloom. It 

 is a wonder more of these orchids are 



not grown commercially for the Christ- 

 mas trade. Among cypripediums. Hare- 

 field Hall and insigne Sanderse were 

 represented by several strong flowering 

 plants each. Lorraine begonias were ex- 

 tremely well grown. J. Newman & 

 Sons, at their Tremont street store, had 

 some pretty baskets arranged with 

 cattleyas and cypripediums November 

 19. Their lily of the valley is the best 

 we had seen. They were, as usual, busy 

 with funeral work. 



S. J. Goddard finds the single white 

 chrysanthemum, Anna, effective in flo- 

 ral designs. He is growing a variety 

 of both singles and pompons and finds 

 them useful in his increasing retail 

 trade. His carnations are in heavy crop 

 for Thanksgiving, 



William Patterson, of Wollaston, who 

 makes bulbs quite a specialty, is in the 

 market with excellent Roman hyacinths. 

 He is also cutting quantities of stevia.
