OLEAN, N. Y. 



Mrs. F. H. Johnson is justly proud 

 of her success in the cultivation ot 

 orchids. Her cattleyas, both Mossiae 

 and Trianae, have produced blooms 

 that measure fully 6V2 inches across, 

 and she has a handsome plant of Per- 

 isteria elata with eleven blooms. In 

 ordinary stock she has about 500 well 

 grown chrysanths, all in pots.

C. E. Rossiter adopts the V-shaped 

 method in chicken wire, with a length 

 back and front of 12 inches wide, 

 placed sufficiently high to allow of 

 weeding. This answers well, espe- 

 cially in houses of medium size. His 

 carnations are looking fine. Roses 

 very clean. W. M. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The final premium list for the 

 twelfth annual exhibition of the State 

 Florists' Association of Indiana, to be 

 held in this city Nov. 8 to 12, has been 

 issued. Copies may be had on applica- 

 tion to the secretary, Mr. R. A. Mc- 

 Keand, Garfield Park, this city. 



HOLYOKE, MASS.— "Walk in and 

 see our chrysanths," was Harry Sin- 

 clair's invitation when I called upon 

 E. H. Howland. I did and challenge 

 superior stock to be produced: Clean, 

 thrifty, bold plants, foliage like leather 

 and of great size. Considerable im- 

 provements have been made in the 

 houses during the summer. Here 

 Wootton thrives a la Dunlop and Gam- 

 mage, Perles a la Dale. The fall show 

 will be an interesting one and is com- 

 mendable. W. M. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS.— Outcast has 

 found a home with Mark Aitken, who 

 has 500 of this carnation planted in 

 his newly acquired range of glass. 

 Violets are taking hold in good shape 

 and the palm house is just the thing. 



J. Schlatter & Son have added a 

 violet house for violets and one for 

 azaleas. They speak highly of Jadoo 

 and have several enauiries from their 

 cemetery patrons who have noted the 

 extraordinary results. W. M. 



PORTLAND. ME.— Niles Nelson has 

 a good thing in a pure lemon yellow 

 coleus, which for three years has prov- 

 en to be a most excellent bedder, The 

 foliage is large and the habit of plant 

 very robust. It does not bleach out in 

 the sun. His chrysanths in pots are 

 fine, as are carnations. Scott, Day- 

 break, C. A. Dana, and Flora Hill are 

 his favorites. W. M. 



MANCHESTER, N. H.— A. G. Hood 

 was planting his carnations by elec- 

 tricity (light) when I called. He stands 

 by Fisher, not having found any other 

 kind more suited for his trade. His 

 Scotts are fine; no sign of deteriora- 

 tion.

This has been conclusively proven bv experiments at Lincoln Park, Chicago. The Tonic al: 

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

 plant. A trial of a ■jr>-cent bottle will convince vou that a really remarkable 

 insecticide has been discovered. Send for circular.
