PROPAGATING CHRYSANTHE- 

 MUMS. 



The importance of careful selection of 

 the cutting was strongly impressed upon 

 me by an experience two seasons ago. 

 All our stock had the same tieatment 

 hut some stools that had come from a 

 very careful grower and had been 

 beiiclied witli our ow^l produced flowers 

 \ri\ Hiirli .,i|.eni.r to those on our own.

 ruUiiiL;- lii^M were not up to the stan- 

 dard at ]>l;MiiiiiL: aio the same now and

WEEDS IN LAWNS. 



Will some reader of the Review who 

 has had experience in the matter tell 

 through the Review what is the best 

 imethod to clear a lawn of chickweed? 

 The lawn was made about fifteen years 

 ago, part shaded and part open to the 

 sun. Reasonable expense no object. 



It is mown close with horse machine 

 all the season. I w'ill be glad to take 

 jadvantage of anything that has a 

 reasonable show of success and will re- 

 iiort result. SUBSCRIBER. 



The best and <li.M|.e-.t plan, in the 

 long run, to .].Mii.,ili' . Iiickweed from 

 a lawn, is tu |iIm>\ ,iimI tiive clean culti- 

 vation for one >nniiiiei : and, seeing that 

 the location is Connecticut, seed down in 

 the latter part of August or beginning 

 of September. There are advantages in 

 the plan — it permits of enriching the 

 lawn, and regrading, if such may be 

 (necessary. " ".J. A. Pettigrew.

NYMPHAEAS AT THE PAN- 

 AMERICAN. 



In referring to nyiiiplueas in a recent 

 article Mr. Scott inadvertently states 

 that the collection of nymphaeas are my 

 own hybrids. He is aware that I have 

 raised and disseminated several nym- 

 pbiEas, but not being familiar with these, 

 nor the varieties in our collection at 

 Buffalo, he has sadly mis-stated the 

 facts, as he only mentioned hardy va- 

 rieties, having omitted altogether the 

 tender ones. 



In justice to our late and lamented 

 friend and co-worker, James Brydon, 

 who did so much to improve and popu- 

 larize these and other flowers, allow me 

 to state that Nymphseas Wm. Falconer, 



Wm. Doogue and Jas. Brydon were 

 raised by him, and the latter is named 

 in his honor. 



The following are of French origin: 

 Xympliseas gloriosa, sulphurea, sul- 

 phurea grandiflora, lucida, Robinsoni, 

 Aiidreana, Aurora, fulva, Laydekeri pur- 

 purata, Marliacca chromatella, Marlia- 

 lea rosea, ^Marliacea rubra punctata, 

 :\Iarliacea flammea and Marliacea ignea. 

 Honor to whom honor is due.

A LEASE QUESTION. 



I am leasing a ,Lir.enIi..n-c plant, and 

 finding it small to areumniodate growing 

 liusiness and not being able to induce 

 owner to build, I have put up two houses 

 on the property myself. 



At the expiration of the lease will I 

 have the right to remove the houses, or 

 part of them, or must I leave it as it 

 >tands? 0. S. Y. 



An answer to the question cannot be 

 Liiven without an inspection of the lease. 

 Some printed forms have a clause re- 

 iliuriug that all improvements and addi- 

 tions shall accrue to the lessor. 



If the matter is not covered in the 

 lease then the lessee can remove the 

 greenhouses he built providing they are 

 not on brick or stone foundations and 

 are not attached to the original build- 

 int's. Your correspondent had better 

 .onsult his attorney. W. H. B.
