JULY 21. 189S. 



SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



Columbia is doing well as we all 

 know, so is tlie seedling carnation Co- 

 lumbia at L. E. Marquisee's. It is un- 

 fortunate this name has been already 

 bestowed by another upon a worthless 

 variety so that when introduced next 

 season this desideratum must possess 

 another name it is to be hoped as 

 equally renowned. The plants are 

 highly promising and from close ob- 

 servation I feel assured we can look 

 for a real good thing in this pink. 

 Considerable attention is being paid to 

 this and to one other seedling, as 

 Mr. Marquisee, growing largely tor the 

 retail trade, realizes the importance 

 of a good all round carnation. 



I noted some well grown chrysanthe- 

 mums, both on bench and in pots, 

 specimens for the fall show. Harry 

 Bellamy, in his Cuban pungee, is 

 watching the roses closely. 'Tis too 

 bad the buds must be cut so early, it 

 is certainly detrimental to the plant. 

 but roses are roses just now. W. M.
