Patten & Co., mixed carnations from Thomas ColeS; and be- gonias, cyclamens and double poinset- tias from E. & J. Farquhar & Co. Frank Putnam was reported as con- valescing from an acute attack of pneumonia. Installation of officers will occur Jan- uary 28, the hall being rented for the regular day, January 21. Various Notes. S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, has a heavy crop of carnations for the holi- days. He prefers White Perfection to White Wonder, but grows both sorts. Benora, Gloriosa, Bosette and Pink De- light are all doing remarkably well with him. St. Nicholas is slow in com- ing into crop. He marketed fine freesia as early as December 10. A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly, grew 35,000 carnations, all on solid beds. He has Pink Delight with 42-inch stems, which shows how this variety thrives with him. Gloriosa and White Wonder are also remarkably good. John Barr, of South Natick, has one of the neatest establishments in New England. He used to grow cyclamens and hydrangeas, but difficulty in send- ing pot plants to market forced him to drop their culture until now he grows carnations exclusively. He benches about 35,000 and they are a veritable thicket of flowers and buds. The new variegated, Mrs. B. P. Cheney, is con- tinuing its good record. Pink Delight, White Wonder, Beacon and others are all equally good. W. E. Nicholson, of Framingham, has a great holiday crop of carnations. Es- pecially fine are Benora, Pocahontas, White Wonder, Gloriosa, Pink Delight, Eosette and Golden Eay. St. Nicholas so far is rather slow. He will have some thousands of Purity freesia for Christmas. His first were cut Decem- ber 10. He is also getting a nice crop of forget-me-nots and marguerites. He has dropped Mrs. Sander marguerite, preferring Queen Alexandra. W. H. Ward, of Montvale,
