SEPTEMBER 29, 



ELMIRA, N. Y. 



The Elmira Horticultural Society 

 will hold its first chrysanthemum 

 show November 1 and 2 at Bundy 

 Hall. There have already been prom- 

 ised some fine decorative exhibits, as 

 well as a good display ot high-class 

 blooms. The Eclipse Bicycle Com- 

 pany, of this city, have offered one of 

 their high-grade 'tlS wheels, value $7^), 

 for the best seedling of any color ex- 

 hibited under the rules of the Ameri- 

 can Chrysanthemum Society, which 

 require the seedling to be tested at 

 least two years and six blooms on ex- 

 hibition. The judging to be by that 

 society's scale of points and by a com- 

 petent judge. The winner is to be 

 named the "Eclipse of "OS" and be dis- 

 seminated under that name. We hope 

 the seedlings of the year, of which we 

 hear there are many, will be well rep- 

 resented. 



In addition to the commercial grow- 

 ers of the vicinity, there are several 

 private gardeners who will exhibii. 

 John Rudy, of J. S. Fassetfs place, 

 "Strathmont," has a very promisin.u' 

 lot of Japan seedlings which will be 

 shown. General Magee's gardener, J. 

 T. Anthony, will doubtless have some 

 of the magnificent blooms for which 

 he is noted. 



The managers of the society hope to 

 make this first venture a success and 

 make the society permanent. They 

 succeeded in bringing out a fine dis- 

 play ot roses in June, and Rev. W. T. 

 Hutchins, who judged the sweet peas 

 at the August show, said that the ar- 

 rangement and character of blooms 

 he had never seen excelled. H. N. H. 



MARQUETTE, MICH. 



Business here has .sreatly improved 

 the last month, and the prospects for 

 a good fall trade are very bright. 



L. H. Stafford has two of his car- 

 nation houses in solid beds this year 

 as an experiment, and will keep a rec- 

 ord of the amount ot bloom picked 

 from them and the ones planted on the 

 bench. All his carnations are remark- 

 ably fine plants. His young roses are 

 coming along finely and promise a 

 very heavy crop: not a sign of mildew 

 on them. His mums, too, are in prime 

 condition. 



FINE FREESIAS. 

 The Wilmington Bulb Co., Wilming- 

 ton. Gala., send us some samples of 

 the freesia bulbs grown by them. They 

 are certainly very fine bulbs; we have 

 never seen better ones. 



FRANKFORT. IND.— Mrs. E. Kuntz 

 has rebuilt her palm and fern house, 

 as well as house for carnations, 

 and now has five clean, well - kept 

 houses. 



PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WIS.— Robert 

 Gugler, formerly of Milwaukee, ha^ 

 locate<l here and has commenced the

The Harrisii Disease 



can be prevented by immersing the bulbs 

 for 5 hours in a half solution of „ 



..Kraft's Plant Tonic. 99% 



This has been conclusively proven bv c\periment5 at Lincoln Park, Chicago. The Tonic also 



kills Hard Shelled Scale, Mealy Bugr, and other insect pests without injury to the 



plant. A trial of a 2:i-cent bottle will convince you that a really remarkable 



• insecticide has been discoyered. Send for circular.
