Park Commissioner Ridgley in liis 

 annual report favors public play 

 grounds for children. Something in 

 this line sliould be done, as the city 

 is rapidly building up and vacant lots 

 are fast disappearing. The commis- 

 sioners' report shows that the ex- 

 penses of the park commissioners' of- 

 fice were $9,288.28, and the cost of 

 music $5,925 up to date. The parks 

 have not suffered, as all preparations 

 for ornamenting the parks with the 

 usual floral displays were made during 

 the winter and on a scale to surpass 

 all former years. 



A great time is expected at the next 

 regular meeting of the club, which will 

 be held Thursday afternoon, .July 12. 

 There are now three candidates for 

 president. Convention matters w 11 

 come up, also other matters of great 

 importance, and. as President Ammann 

 says: "It's the duty of every member 

 of the club to be present at this meet- 

 ing. "

BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Last week was the great week for 

 school commencements and it made 

 everybody busy. The demand for roses 

 was much in excess of supply, particu- 

 larly for good ones. Carnations were 

 very plentiful and they were largely 

 used where roses were asked for. Gar- 

 nations have been sold for 10 cents 

 per dozen, one Main street florist tell- 

 ing me he handed out 5,000 in one day 

 at that very popular price. While this 

 was going on really flue rainaiions 

 were selling at 50 cents per do/en. As 

 remarked last year, I think it ;s bene- 

 ficial to grower, commission man, re- 

 tailer and the public that the immense 

 quantities that have been coming in 

 should be disposed of at this c^eap 

 rate; if not, not a tenth of the crop 

 would sell, and the people who buy at 



this low price would not buy at all if 

 they were higher. 



Mr. C. Guenther, of Hamburg, has a 

 fine bench of Kaiserins that is giving 

 him fine crops. W. J. L'almer & Son 

 also have a good house, and there is 

 yet another at Corfu in excellent shape, 

 so we will not suffer for the want of 

 white roses. 



Speaking of roses, it is generally ob- 

 served that the outside roses of all 

 classes are unusually fine this year. I 

 have discouraged people from attempt- 

 ing to plant roses, telling tnem rhat it 

 was not worth doing in our city gar- 

 dens, but the grand show they have 

 made this year makes me regret my 

 advice. Why should they be so clean 

 and fine this year? Is it because the 

 absence of rain and moisture has been 

 unfavorable to the aphis, worms, bug.-" 

 and other pests? Whatever the rea- 

 son, they have made a brilliant show 

 this year ,and to ninety-nine out of 

 every hundred people there isnoth ng 

 like a rose. 



I know it is very commonplace to 

 be always mentioning the weather, but 

 the drought hereabouts is serious. 

 When we do get a shower, it is like a 

 drop of water on a hot iron 



Mr. William Tricker, of that great 

 establishment at Rivertou, where ex- 

 ists among the smooth green turf the 

 finest water garden in thj world, was 

 with us on Wednesday lasl. and most 

 of the time was spent at tlie Pan- 

 American. If Mr. Dreer will supply the 

 plants we have the pond.-, lagoons. 

 Lays, inlets and every facility for mak- 

 ng the aquatics feel at home, and Mr. 

 Tricker says it will be the finest dis- 

 play of water plants ever seen in ths 

 country. It is a great pleasure to spend 

 a day with a thorough gardener and 

 enthusiast, as is Mr. Tricker. 



We had time to visit Prof. Cowell at 

 South Park and look over that won- 

 derful pile of glass, which is fast fill- 

 ing up, and seems now to be appre- 



ciated by our citizens, for there were 

 many visitors. The hardy rockery is 

 a very interesting spot for the lover 

 of plants and the commercial grower 

 will see many things there that it 

 would pay him to have on his place. 



We noticed among the shrubbery a 

 brilliant red rose almost or quite sin- 

 gle, but free growing and handsome; 

 it should be used everywhere where 

 color is desired. It was the rose Agnes 

 E. Carman, a hybrid between General 

 Jacqueminot and Rugosa, and you can 

 call it a first-class hardy flowering 

 shrub. 



Mr. George McClure, Jr., is leaving 

 the gardens of Mrs. Lewis, on Seventh 

 street, where he has been for several 

 years the right bower of the unassum- 

 ing Mr. Fitzwilliams, and will go to 

 the Missouri Botanical Garden to take 

 charge of the orchids and exotic plants. 

 This young man is a student bej^ond 

 anything of my acquaintance. He is 

 a gardener by ped'gree, by taste and 

 by application and study, and there 

 must be a bright future before him. 

 He leaves a larger salary than he will 

 receive in St. Louis, but he will gain 

 knowledge and experience as well. I 

 believe, as impart some. How few 

 young gardeners are built that way; 

 they are only looking after the dollar, 

 and knowledge they are not seeking.
