Galvin, Jr., has opened a retail store at 260 Devonshire street, where Dolansky & McDonald were for- merly located. Frank J. Eeynolds, for a number of years with the Welch Bros.

George Anson, orchid grower for A. 0. Burrage, Beverly Farms, will give a stereopticon lecture on orchids at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club November 18.

H. E, Hood, of Manchester, N. H., gave the wholesale market a little fillip November 8 by purchasing 10,000 car- nations for a Bed Cross drive in that city.
