This mum show is hut one of many. 

 Every Saturady there is an exhibit 

 horticultural. Every year over $8,000 

 in prizes are dispensed. 



They tell me this has been the equal 

 of any flower show ever held in Bos- 

 ton, and the attendance has been "the 

 best for ten years." One peculiar fea- 

 ture of the show was the absence of 

 any of the handiwork of the retail 

 florist, and stranger yet to me the in- 

 difference shown and the complete ab- 

 sence of any members of this most 

 important department of the business. 

 I did not see a retail florist in the hall 

 during the entire exhibition. There 

 were no competitors in table and man- 

 tel decorations, no bouquets, no floral 

 design work, no vases even of artis- 

 tically arranged flowers, and yet this 

 is the wealthiest horticultural society 

 in America. 



The exhibit of large plants was the 

 finest I have ever seen. Our own E. M. 

 Wood carried away many of the hon- 

 ors, but the Harvard Botanic Gardens, 

 Mrs. B. P. Cheney, Jason S. Bailey, 

 C. H. Souther, Morris F. Comley and 

 Col. Chas. Pfaff were much in evidence 

 and the talented gardeners of these 

 wealthy patrons deserved the credit 

 they received. 



For effective grouping of palms and 

 mums Mrs. Jack Gardner won the 

 highets commendation. W. W. Edgar, 

 of Waverly, had a splendid group of 

 the Begonia Gloire de Lorraine; Lager 

 & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J., were the

Jadoo 



A florist writes us 



" I used Jadoo Fibre in planting 

 Roses and cuttings, and find that 

 the cuttings root in less time than in 

 earth or sand, and with less trouble. 

 In transplanting Roses I washed 

 the roots clean of all earth and 

 wrapped the roots well in Jadoo, 

 and then filled in with a compost of 

 Yi Jadoo and 2 3 earth well mixed 

 together, and the plants never lost 

 a leaf, and they seemed to get 

 established at once. 



"The Liquid I used once a week 

 on all plants, and found that the 

 plants are of better color; also the 

 flowers. 



"I think very favorably of them, 

 as they are clean to handle and 

 free from odor."

 CARNATION 

 SUPPORT. 



Lancaster. Pa., June 17, iSog. 

 Mr. Theron Parker, 



Brooklyn, N. Y. 

 Dear Sir: — Your Model Carna- 

 tion Support is all right in every 

 way and will no doubt be consid- 

 ered as necessary as good plants 

 with growers when better known. 

 I consider it the best on the mar- 

 ket, and if your other specialties 

 are equally as good, they should 

 make another addition to the mon- 

 ey-makers of 1000. 



Ref pectfully, 



Albert M. Here.

 Mr. Theron Parker. 

 Dear Sir:— It gives me much 

 leasure to congratulate you upon 

 our success in getting up carna- 

 tion supports. I think that those 

 I have had from you are about as 

 perfect as anybody will be able to make them. They 

 certainly fill my bill for an ideal carnation support, a. 

 tiling I have been looking for a long time. Wishing you 

 every success in the sale of them, I am, 



Yours truly, E. Asmus.
