LONDON, ONT. 



The London Horticultural Society held 

 the June rose show last week. As their 

 shows are all free it is needless to say 

 that the attendance was large. The 

 popularity of these flower shows is evi- 

 denced by the increased interest taken 

 and as there is no competition, no prizes 

 awarded, no admission fee, it is purely 

 a labor of love. The season has been 

 favorable and the show of H. P. roses 

 was the best the society has yet had. 



The weather continues cold and wet 

 with an occasional frost and snow or 

 ice storm sandwiched in, consequently 

 soft bedding stock is suffering. 



Trade continues to hold up wonderfully 

 well ; between weddings and funerals 

 nothing is going to waste. The quality 

 of roses is away down and very little but 

 what is mildewed can be seen. Carna- 

 tions, owing to the cool weather, are of 

 good quality. 



Planting is being rapidly pushed ahead 

 and from the quality of the stock going 

 in there ought to be some good results. 



Convention matters are being talked 

 over by the locals and from favorable 

 expressions of visitors who have called 

 recently we are led to believe that the 

 Hamilton convention will eclipse any of 

 its predecessors.

 M. Harburn, A. Neal, C. W. Baxter, H.

LOND. 



GRAND RAPIDS, NQCH. 



The weather the past month has been 

 very unfavorable for the production of 

 cut tiowers. During the hot spell every- 

 thing cooked and sizzled. Then came a 

 wet spell followed by a cold wave, which 

 mildewed the roses in great shape. The 

 month has been remarkable as the wet- 

 test June on record, there having been 

 just twenty-three days on which it 

 rained. 



Business could hardly have been bet- 

 ter. The bedding done was certainly 

 forty per cent in excess of last year, the 

 principal call being for S. A. Nutt 

 geraniums, and in vines, variegated 

 vincas; fewer nasturtiums and cobeas 

 being used than heretofore. 



The weather affected the quality of 

 flowers as well as the quantity, the re- 

 sult being that carnations are poor and 

 roses small and poor. In fact, there are 

 but few roses to be had at any price, 

 as all the florists have thrown out from 

 part to all to replant. 



The varieties of carnations that have 

 done the best and stood the stress of the 

 past variable weather are: First, Flora 

 Hill in white. White Cloud and Glacier 

 coming next ; in pink, Lawson, Ethel 

 Crocker, Irene and Marquis; in red, 

 Jubilee. The newer varieties did not 

 seem to hold up so well as those men- 

 tioned, and Crane doesn't seem to be 

 much good in warm weather. I forgot 

 to say that Morning Glory, though a bit 

 undersized, still makes a good light pink 

 substitute for Daybreak. 



Prices on flowers remained firm, but 

 at present, on account of the poor quality, 

 they show signs of weakening, Eoses 

 bring 75 cents to $1 per dozen; carna- 

 tions, 25 to 35 cents per dozen; American 

 Beauties, $1.50 to $3 per dozen. 



Paonies are over and outdoor roses are 

 in their glory. Crimson Eamblers around 



town never looked so effective and beau- 

 tiful as this spring. 



The Grand Eapids Violet Co. are put- 

 ting most of their plant to American 

 Beauties, as they claim they are more 

 profitable than any other cut flower. 

 They will, of course, grow some carna- 

 tions and violets, but their crop will be 

 American Beauties. 



The wet weather has been very unfa- 

 vorable to violets and many of the local 

 growers have had their plants go "on 

 the bum," as we call it here, one large 

 grower in particular having to buy his 

 entire stock over again. A good plan 

 to insure thj best results and run the 

 least amount of risk in failure is for 

 those intending to plant the latter part 

 of July or later to buy those plants that 

 have iDeen shifted from 2 to 214-incli 

 into 3-inch and given a little space on the- 

 bench. Such plants get properly sea- 

 soned, and are not only equal but really 

 superior to field-grown stock if runners 

 have been properly cared for. The plant- 

 ing of violets in benches is now under 

 way and will be continued until all the 

 houses are planted. 



"Mum" planting is about over, Ivory, 

 Bonaffon, Eobinson, Kalb, Murdoek,. 

 Shaw, Jerome Jones, Western King and 

 Chadwick being the varieties mostly 

 planted. G. F. C. 



KALAMAZOO, MICEi. 



During the last month trade has drop- 

 ped to summer demands and prices. Com- 

 mencement week made quite a little stir, 

 the good old fashion of presenting gradu- 

 ates with floral tributes not having been 

 tabooed by our educationists. Eoses are- 

 scarce but of fair quality. Carnations 

 are plentiful and astonishingly good for 

 the season. 



Eose planting is about finished, the 

 quantities planted being about the same 

 as last year. The new rose Ivory is on 

 trial at some of the establishments. Car- 

 nations in the field are looking well. The 

 weather has been cold and wet — very wet. 

 We had rain on 26 days out of the 30. 

 "In spring a young man's fancy 

 Lightly turns to thoughts of love." 



This was the trend of John E. Vait 

 Boehove's thoughts during the last 

 spring. The culmination came on June 

 25, when he led to the hymenal altar Mis» 

 Minnie Hengst, one of the fair daughters 

 of Celeryville. The benedicts of the craft 

 extend the glad hand of welcome to their 

 ranks. 



Wenschengeluk, John. Xext. E. 



EuTHERFORD, X. J. — Bobbink & At- 

 kins have rented the Volmer place, ad- 

 jacent to their nurseries. It has about 

 10.000 square feet of glass, which they 

 will use in caring for their palm im- 

 portations. They have also bought the 

 entire palm stock, some 30,000 plants, 

 of E, C. McFadden, Short Hills, N. J. 



Newport, E. I. — The annual rose show 

 of the Newport Horticultural Society, 

 held last week, brought out an excellent 

 display. Numerous prizes were awarded. 



Jamestow?^, N. Y. — A. N. Broadhead 

 has purchased the greenhouses of E. D. 

 Spaulding, on Spring street, and is dis- 

 mantling the buildings and moving the 

 plants to the Lake View Eose Gardens.
