WAVERLY, MASS. 



Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is mucli 

 in evidence at W. W. Edgar's. In ad- 

 dition to tlie individual specimens 

 several hundred are being grown in 

 pans together with Adiantum capillus- 

 veneris magnifica. It is merely an 

 experiment, but the combination 

 makes a fine effect that cannot fail to 

 meet with favor. This begonia is the 

 freest flowering of the species and the 

 bloom last.s well after being cut. Un- 

 der artificial light the color is a soft 

 pink shading to deep rose. 



This may be called the home of the 

 Adiantum, to judge by the excellent 

 stock flourishing both In beds and in 

 pots. A. tenerum is the favorite, it 

 produces such long, strong fronds, su- 

 perior to cuneatum or decorum. 

 Heavy daily cuts are made for steady 

 store supply. A pretty conceit is the 

 filling of 4-inch pans with three or 

 more A. cuneatum, also larger sizes 

 with Begonia Lucy Closson, Caladium 

 Argyrites and the like for color effect. 

 Cocos are used in large numbers. No 

 two dishes are made up alike. I not- 

 ed a frame filled with Solanum cap- 

 sicastrum, in splendid shape for the 

 holidays, also poinsettias in various 

 sizes. 



A new house has been added for 

 azaleas; It is both handsome and use- 

 ful, built to admit as much light as 

 possible at back of and under the 

 benches. W. M.

Butted Glass. 



This is no longer an experiment, it has come to stay. There 

 are various ways of making Butted Roofs, but the best way 

 is with the 



Clipper Bar. 



With this bar you can make a roof that is absolutely free 

 from drip, and plass cannot be torn out by the wind. Butted 

 glass makes a tight roof, a warm house and saves fuel, it 

 lasts longer, looks better and costs less than the old-fashioned 

 roof. But do not think that this is the only bar we sell, for 

 it is not; we furnish what people want and there is nothing 

 in greenhouse material that you cannot get from us, and all 

 of open-air-dried Cypress clear of bright sap, stained sup, 

 knots and all other defects.

NEW LONDON, CONN. 



Trade has been very good here all 

 through the season. There has been 

 no abatement in the taste and demand 

 for chrysanthemums; fair, full, medi- 

 um sized flowers suit our ti-ade best. 



The Appledorn brothers have taken 

 the greenhouses left by W. E. Pendle- 

 ton when he went to the Klondike to 

 hunt for gold. There is gold in small 

 quantities in flowers if we know how 

 to take it out. J. S. 



ALBANY, N. Y. 



Jno. Dingwall reports a total failure 

 with Semple's strain of aster. I have 

 noted this elsewhere. Whilst asters 

 generally were not nearly so good as 

 usual, Semple's variety seems to have 

 been the most unsatisfactory, coming 

 both single, one-sided, blasted and 

 poor color. Queen of the Market was 

 the best this season. One of the lar- 

 gest stocks of bedding plants in Al- 

 bany county is raised here. 'W. M.
