Paris. France, — W. K. Vanderbilt's 

 collection of chrysanthemnras from his 

 estate at St. Louis de Poissy won the 

 first prize in 'the great Paris show. 



Athens, 0. — G. H. Moores, the florist, 

 and his wife, have arranged to go to 

 Florida, the first to remain for a month 

 and the latter till spring. 



As A Christmas present, nothing 

 would be more greatly prized than a 

 copy of the Florists' Manual, by Wm. 

 Scott. It covers the whole field of com- 

 mercial floriculture, and the price is 

 $5.00. 



IVIES. 



Xcxt to the variegated vinca comes 

 the ivy, and as a useful window box 

 plant it is hard to beat. In Europe 

 many variegated varieties are grown and 

 they are well worth a trial in'this coun- 

 try, being of easy culture and requiring 

 only a frost proof shelter in winter. 



Mr. E. VVienhoeber, Chicago, uses 

 many pot ivies, and grows some fine 

 plants. He propagates early, placing 

 three plants in a 3-inch pot, and these 

 are planted out a good distance apart on 

 rich land, well cultivated and watered. 

 In winter they are placed on a narrow 

 shelf just under the edge of a bench and 

 droop to the ground, thus taking up no 

 extra space. They are useful in decora- 

 tions and as box plants are invaluable. 



Cuttings of half ripened wood are best 

 and they root at any season, though fall 

 propagation, with a gentle bottom heat 

 is preferable. Am. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



It is believed in some quarters that a 

 mistake has been made by many in dis- 

 carding Ivory, Dealers say it is still a 

 fine seller and that it ought to pay at 

 the price it brings, as glowers say they 

 can produce two good blooms of Ivory 

 from the same space that will produce 

 one Bonnafl'on. 



One grower says that BonnaflFon is get- 

 ting to be one of the most difficult to do 

 well and the most expensive to grow. 

 This grower doesn't see any place for Ap- 

 pleton as a commercial flower because it 

 comes at a season when there are "^ 

 many other good ones, and his experi- 

 ence with it" is that while it is extra 

 fancy when it comes good, there is an 

 unpleasantly large proportion that come 

 poor, and when they are poor they go 

 nearly to the foot of the list. 



A COMPLIMENT. 



Allow me to compliment you on "the 

 truly instructive articles on chrysanthe- 

 mum, carnation and rose culture that 

 have appeared in the Eeview during the 

 past year. My success in growing mums 

 this season, which eclipsed any ever be- 

 fore seen in this city, I owe to an article 

 in the Review of Aug. 22.

 nual meeting of the Illinois State Horti-
