OAEDENERS' ASSOCIATION. 



The spring meeting of the executive 

 committee of the National Association 

 of Gardeners will be held on Monday 

 afternoon, April 15, at 2:30 p. m. in 

 Horticultural hall, Broad and Locust 

 streets, Philadelphia. This meeting will 

 combine both business and pleasure, 

 the Philadelphia members extending an 

 invitation to all members of the asso- 

 ciation to attend. 



The exhibition committee is making 

 a special eflfort to bring together a fine 

 display of this season's novelties for 

 the meeting, growers being invited to 

 exhibit. Any exhibits sent to Horti- 

 cultural hall, in care of David Bust, up 

 to noon, April 15, will be carefully 

 staged by the exhibition committee if 

 the exhibitor cannot be represented in 

 person. 



Another interesting feature of the 

 meeting will be the bowling tourna- 

 ment between the members of the win- 

 ning team which carried off the prize 

 cup a^ the national show in Boston last 

 year. They will contest for the prize 

 cup. The team is composed of Messrs. 

 Robertson, Dodds, Bachelor and Duck- 

 ham. 



A big attendance of National Asso- 

 ciation members is looked for.

THE SPHAQXITM PBOBLEM. 



Sphagnum moss has been scarce ever 

 since the floods last fall shut off the 

 supply earlier than it ever has been 

 shut off before, but the worst part of 

 the difliculty is that the winter has 

 been so long and snowy that the spring 

 gathered moss will not come onto the 

 market as early or in as good shape as 

 it usually does. Moss, therefore, is not 

 now so hard to get, for the average flo- 

 rist, as it is likely to be in the next few 

 weeks. Good, clean, dry burlap-baled 

 moss is now readily salable at $3 per 

 bale. There is some wet, wire-baled 

 moss coming out of "Wisconsin and, al- 

 though it is stock that the retailer ordi- 

 narily thinks he cannot use, this season 

 he is glad to get it and thinks the house 

 that sells it to him has done him a 

 favor in letting him have it. Usually, 

 at that, he is only able to get a few 

 bales at a time.
