Sallying forth on a peaceful expedi- 

 tion I found florist Niles Nelson n^nr- 

 ing upon his stock for Decoration Day, 

 a grand lot of candy tuft, antirrhinum. 

 Queen of the North, spiraea and car- 

 nations. The latter are simply im- 

 mense; Scotts, -whose bushes are :J feet 

 tall and in perfect health. Mr. Dyer, 

 the able grower, thinks well of C. A. 

 Dana and will grow a large nuiuOer 

 next season. A house of grafted roses 

 just planted for early cutting looks 

 well. I observed particularly some 

 side beds of dahlias, planted about 

 Jan. 1st, in the pink of condition for 

 May 30th, grown in a temperature of 

 (>0 and with no sign of red spider. 

 This struck me as being a good thing. 

 Young carnations are excellent. 



J. Minott grows for an exclusive re- 

 tail business. He has a unique store 

 decoration, fitted up completely with 

 Virgin cork interspersed with mirroi-s, 

 nothing slow about this; a striking 

 contrast to a pioneer in the business 

 I have in mind and whom I found 

 complacently viewing the lovely land- 

 scape. He greeted me with the an- 

 nouncement that there were too maiiy 

 in the business. While to a degree 

 this may be true, I had one proof whiie 

 at his place that he had himself to 

 blame for being behind the times. "Tis 

 the best man that gets ahead now, as 

 ever. If one intends keeping in the 

 business he must be right up to date. 



J. .\. Dirwanger is justly proud of 

 his collection of orchids, chiefly win- 

 ter iilooming kinds. The flowers sell 

 to advantage with the bon ton of this 

 city. W. M.
