 from Charles Cooper, gardener to Miss 

 Amy Lowell, of Brookiine. 



Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., has leased 

 from Klein & Johnson, property at 561 

 Fifth avenue, New York, for twenty 

 years from October 1, 1913, with two 

 renewal privileges, each for twenty- 

 one years. Upon the lot the lessees will 

 erect a six-story building. The lease 

 shows an annual net rental of $37,500. 



The first through freight electrics 

 between Boston and Springfield were 

 run December 23. There are thirty- 

 five stations on the road and four cars 

 each way daily. This service will be 

 a great boon to florists in Wellesley, 

 Natick, Framingham, Shrewsbury and 

 other flower-growing centers. The rates 

 are twenty-five per cent lower than 

 those of the express company and the 

 first train arrives in Boston at 6 a. m. 



Penn's, on Bromfield street, is doing 

 an immense plant trade. Poinsettias 

 and cyclamens are the best sellers with 

 them, followed by Cincinnati begonias, 

 azaleas and berried plants. 



W. D. Howard, of Milford, grows 

 25,000 carnations, all being sold by Geo. 

 H. Noyes. He has a salmon sport from 

 Winsor which is a great seller and will 

 plant 10,000 of it next season, in a 

 large new house, and introduce it. All 

 of Mr. Howard's carnations were in 

 fine crop for Christmas, Mrs. Ward, 

 Winsor, Pink Delight, White Wonder 

 and Beacon being in grand condition. 

 A plan of growing carnations outdoors 

 in benches built in sections about eight 

 feet long and rolling them indoors 

 has paid well, the plants showing an 

 astonishing advantage over lifted ones. 



Zinn 's, on Park street, has lilacs and 

 cypripediums of extra fine quality, and 

 the store looks attractive. 



Sidney Hoffman is doing a heavy 

 Christmas trade at his big Massachu- 

 setts avenue store. He had a large 

 decoration at the Hotel Somerset De- 

 cember 17. 



The William E. Doyle Co., on Boyl- 

 ston street, reports business as good. 

 They have a fine lot of Christmas plants 

 and have had some good decorations to 

 carry out of late. 



visitors last week included L. J. 

 Router, Westerly, R. I., and W. C. Rick- 

 ards, representing C. H. Totty, Madison, 

 N. J. 



The meeting for the installation of 

 officers of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 aub will be held January 28, one week 

 later than usual. 



F. H. Houghton says that plant trade 

 is booming with him. He is haying a 

 tremendous call for baskets of his own 

 design filled with plants. 



James Wheeler, of Natick, had
