 social reunion. 



Notes. 



The president read a very flattering 

 letter from the Countess of Miuto, in 

 reference to a vase of seedling carna- 

 tion exhibited by Miller & Sons. The 

 flowers were greatly admired by those 

 present. I am given to understand 

 that it is now flowering the third year, 

 but will be tried another year. Messrs. 

 Miller inform me, "Mr. John H. Dun- 

 lop is highly enamored with it, and we 

 understand him to say, and we posi- 

 tively believe, Lady Minto to be the 

 peer of any variegated carnation ever 

 sent out." Messrs. Miller also exhib- 

 ited some lovely seedling pink carna- 

 tions of a very pleasing shade, which 

 will cenainly find a place in commerce 

 next year. 



This is the third week that the ther- 

 mometer has been below zero; the 

 mercury scarcely struggles above dur- 

 ing the day; no violets seen on the 

 streets. So far as I can ascertain 

 from the retailers trade during Janu- 

 ary was the best for ten years. I^ots 

 of bulbous stock is coming in. Tulips 

 are not up to mark; growers complaiu 

 of unripe bulbs, thus causing short 

 stemmed flowers good for nothing but 

 design work. 



Mr. W. Hill, the Yonge street retail- 

 er, is laid up with an attack of grip. 



So far I have not heard of any great 

 damage done by the cold snap only on 

 the coal bins.

BURPEE'S CATALOGUE FOR 1899. 



A copy of the above has been re- 

 ceived and it is certainly a model re- 

 tail seed and plant catalogue. 



The present issue has been greatly 

 enlarged, the added space being devot- 

 ed to giving cultural directions and 

 useful planting tables. A large num- 

 ber of new and improved varieties of 

 both vegetables and flowers are of- 

 fered, noticeably the first of a new 

 race of Bush Sweet Peas, having the 

 freedom of bloom and large flowers of 

 the tall sorts, but growing only fifteen 

 inches high, and does not require sup- 

 port. This is beautifully illustrated in 

 a colored plate. 



Several new varieties of the Dwarf 

 Trailing Cupid Sweet Pea are also of- 

 fered for the first time. 



In vegetables, a fine new bean, a new 

 tomato, a new hardy table corn, a 

 large-fruited watermelon of superior 

 quality, and several new garden peas, 

 and a number of other choice novelties 

 are offered and illustrated from actual 

 si>ecimens.
