Crimson Queen is a great specialty and is extra good; so are Hoosier Beauty, Double White Kil- larney, Ophelia, Tipperary and Bedford Belle. They have a heavy Christmas crop in sight. The Waban Kose Conservatories have a magnificent crop of roses just right for Christmas. Where everything is grown so well, it is hard to particular- ize. Russell and Hadley are wonder- ful.

Crimson Queen is a great specialty and is extra good; so are Hoosier Beauty, Double White Kil- larney, Ophelia, Tipperary and Bedford Belle. They have a heavy Christmas crop in sight. The Waban Kose Conservatories have a magnificent crop of roses just right for Christmas. Where everything is grown so well, it is hard to particular- ize. Russell and Hadley are wonder- ful. The latter makes Hoosier Beauty appear puny by comparison. Lady Alice Stanley is good; so are Ophelia and Killarney Brilliant. From 3,400 plants of the latter, 35,000 flowers have already been cut this season. A busy establishment is that of the W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, Mass. Houses which were overflowing with choice Christmas stock are rapidly be- ing denuded. The cyclamens, browal- lias, azaleas, poinsettias, begonias and other plants are in the pink of condi- tion—the best Bartsch brand. Sweet peas of the Spencer type now are coming in from a number of grow- ers. No better flowers are to be seen than those shipped in by J. W. Phil- brick, of Beverly, who has white, pink and lavender, with splendid stems. Do not forget the club meeting at Horticultural hall December 19. There will be the election of oflScers and the lecture by J. N. Kecler, on "Green- house Construction," which will be il- lustrated by the stereopticon. Arrange- ments for the annual club banquet are already under way. The next one will be held in Horticultural hall. C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is shipping in Gypsophila elegans, which finds a hard competitor in stevia. His Pink Delight, Alice and Matchless car- nations are fine. At Welch's business is good, but pre- vailing high prices are not conducive to expanding the flower trade. David Welch says that there is a sharp ad- vance in the prices of all evergreens due to the higher cost of labor, and collec- tions from clients are not so good as might
