He has two new houses, 24-X150 feet, erected by the Lord & Burnham Company. One house is stocked with Bride, Bridesmaid and Golden Gate roses; the second with car- nations, including Lawson, Queen Louise, Marquis and Prosperity. Mr. Hannell has in all five acres of ground and will grow for the wholesale trade. The park department has just com- pleted the planting of 51,000 tulip and hyacinth bulbs in Washington and other smaller city parks. The WiUett street garden, Washington Park, made up of forty-eight beds, required 45,000 bulbs. Supt.
