. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. The Late J. M. Kimberlin. (See page 987, issue ol January 7.) this line this season.

The weather for the past week in Bos- ton has been the worst so far this win- ter. The first of the week we were treated to sleighing weather; the middle of the week it was cold enough to stay indoors, the thermometer being near zero, and on Saturday the early risers were compelled to hire ferry boats and charter row boats to cross the city, for we had one of the most severe rain storms known for a long time, and it turned the streets into a sea of slush.

We are glad to see A. F. Barney, of Schlegel & Fottler Company, back at his desk again; he was absent for a week with a very severe cold. John Clark, formerly of Joseph Breck & Sons, is now with the George A. Wea- ver Company, of Newport, R. I. Warren W. Rawson. Warren W. Rawson, the well known seedsman, of Boston, Mass., recently elected councilor to Governor Douglas, was installed January 5 for the term of one year. He carri
