Various Notes. 



The weatlier suddenly changed after 

 sending in my last report, and we have 

 been having a taste of July heat which 

 is somewhat enervating. Some com- 

 menced planting carnations in the field 

 last week; others are ready, but are 

 n-aiting for cooler or more cloudy 

 weather to render it safe to plant. Vio- 

 lets are over and the propagating is un- 

 der full swing. It takes about 100,000 

 violet plants to refill the Grand Rapids 

 violet houses, then there is about that 

 quantity potted up for sales. About 

 60 per cent of the violet crop next sea- 

 son will te Imperial and Marie Louise, 

 the remaining 40 per cent Lady Hume 

 Campbell and a few white. The dark 

 violets sell best through the entire sea- 

 son ; the Lady Campbell is' all right until 

 about the 1st of February, when it be- 

 gins to get a bit light. The Campbell 

 is the best variety to grow in the south, 

 as it is a warmer growing violet than 

 the dark ones, requiring 10 degrees more 

 heat to get the best results. It will suc- 

 ceed very well where the dark ones fail. 



For the first time this winter business 

 is a little quiet. Shipping has dropped 

 off some, just enough to leave roses plen- 

 tiful and carnations just about equal 

 to the demand; none going to waste. 

 There are many lilies around town and 

 some are being sold so cheap, it makes 

 one shudder. Roses, Al stock, bring 

 from 75 cents to .$1.25. Carnation.s, 35 

 to 50 cents per doz.

In the April number of the American 

 Journal of Science appears a very inter- 

 esting illustrated article by Mr. W. T. 

 Bell, the flori=t of Franklin, Pa., on the 

 priilialilc (.liL'in of the huge spherical 

 i.M-k- iiiiiiid ill Ottawa county, Kansas. 

 Some (if thcsi- rocks are more than 

 twelve feet in diameter, and the deposit 

 in question, consisting of more than fifty 

 detached specimens, is known locally as 

 "Rock City." Some shown in the pic- 

 tures are almost perfect spheres. 



Stracuse, N. y.— Mr. P. R. Quinlan, 

 of the firm of P. R. Quinlan & Co., has 

 recently returned from a visit to Ven- 

 ezuela. He is a member of the asphalt 

 syndicate about whose concession from 

 the Venezuelan government there has 

 been such a political disturbance. 



Milwaukee, Wis. — The greenhouses 

 of Edward Wolff, at Greenfield, were 

 badlv injured by fire the night of April 

 21. The loss is estimated at $1,700. The 

 gieenhouses on the property formerly 

 owned by the late Alexander Mitchell 

 are being torn down. 



New Haven, Conn. — At the last meet- 

 ing of the Horticultural Society a com- 

 mittee was appointed to prepare a pre- 

 liminary schedule of prizes for an exhi- 

 bition next November.
