SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS.— The ama- 

 teur horticultural society voted at its 

 meeting last evening to abandon the 

 idea of holding a rose show in this city 

 this month. The weather has been so 

 dry and warm and all conditions so 

 unfavorable that the roses would not 

 be as perfect as desired, and it was de- 

 cided to put all the energies of the 

 society into the dahlia show, which 

 will be held in the fall. A number of 

 prominent growers of dahlias will have 

 exhibits at the show. The directors 

 of the society also voted to hold no 

 meetings during July and August. 



WE WOULD LIKE very much to 

 have a complete and accurate list of 

 the names and addresses of the florists 

 of America and to this end will ask 

 each subscriber to kindly send us an 

 accurate list of those in the trade in 

 his or her city or town. By complying 

 with this request you will confer a 

 great favor on the publishers. 



IF YOU DO a wholesale business, 

 you should not fail to have an adv. in 

 the Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott. 

 Write for circular giving rates, etc.
