Various Notes. 



Hard frost has completely destroyed 

 all outdoor crops, the temperature 

 dropping to from IS to 20 degrees, ac- 

 cording to location. All carnations 

 are, however, housed and some put in 

 cold frames to hold for sales. 



Trade is good, first class at present, 

 and flowers, even to roses, scarce, and 

 as for carnations they simply cannot 

 be had, the outside shipping trade 

 alone would take many times the ex- 

 isting supply. When mums come in it 

 may not be thus. Roses, $1 per doz.; 

 carnations, 25 cents per doz.; Beauties. 

 $1.50 and $2.00 per dozen. 



State Fair Exhibit. 



The State Fair was a complete suc- 

 cess. The weather on the fair's two 

 best days, for attendance, was rainy, 

 cold and raw, yet in spite of this there 

 will be a small balance in favor of the 

 fair after all expenses are paid. The 

 fruit exhibit was scant, but what was 

 shown was of good quality. The plant 



exhibit was good and the cut flower 

 pieces exceptionally so. 



James Schols and Wm. Cunningham 

 exhibited both plants and cut flowers. 

 Henry Smith, cut flowers only. Crabb 

 & Hunter, plant department only. The 

 real struggle lay in the floral designs, 

 in which Henry Smith led easily, tak- 

 ing first. Schols and Cunningham both 

 had exceedingly well executed designs 

 and as it was diflicult to decide which 

 was the better they divided second 

 money between them. In the fancy 

 foliage bed Crabb & Hunter were 1st; 

 Schols, 2nd. Lawn flower bed, Schols, 

 1st; Crabb & Hunter, 2nd. General col- 

 lection of stove and greenhouse plants. 

 Cunningham, 1st, Crabb & Hunter, 

 2nd. Collection of- 15 palms, large. 

 Crabb & Hunter, 1st; Cunningham! 

 2nd. Collection of 12 palms, 6 to 8-inch 

 pots, Cunningham, 1st; Crabb & Hun- 

 ter, 2nd. The remainder of the pre- 

 miums were pretty well divided among 

 the three. G. F. CRABB. 



WILLIAMSPORT, PA. 



A novel suit was begun before Judge 

 Metzger, of Lycoming county, recently. 

 John Coleman, the plaintiff, alleges 

 that the front rooms of his house and 

 the porch are made uninhabitable by 

 sunlight reflections from transparent 

 glass on the greenhouse of Daniel E. 

 Gorman, the florist, located opposite 

 the Coleman residence. The peculiar- 

 ity of the suit consists in the attack on 

 the general belief that the law allows 

 a man to build according to his own 

 taste on his own lot. There have been 

 many complaints of adjoining build- 

 ings obscuring the light of day, but so 

 far as known this is the first one 

 which alleges that a party is passing 

 on to his neighbor more than the quan- 

 tity of light allowed by nature.— Local 

 Press. 



ELMIRA, N. Y.— The annual chrys- 

 anthemum show of the Elmira Horti- 

 cultural Society will be held Nov. 14 

 and 15. Premiums are offered for col- 

 lections of 12 and 6 varieties and for 

 best yellow, white, pink, red and 

 bronze, vase, seedling, etc. Further 

 information may be had by address- 

 ing R. B. Stockdale, secretary. 



LAKE GENEVA, WIS.— Longland & 

 Holmes have discontinued business. W. 

 P. Longland withdrew last spring and 

 is now gardener for C. P. Hutchinson, 

 Chicago. Mr. Geo. S. Holmes has now 

 given up the business entirely.
