 growers throughout the coming season. ^ ^ ^ ^ 



Tlif Ki-view when yuu writf. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



Carnations in this section have suf- 

 fered somewhat by excessive rains, but 

 not as badly as in the West. 



John Coombs is busy housing this 

 week. His Lawson has stood the test 

 better than any other variety, .Joost dying 

 out the worst. 



Mrs. Goodwin of Whiting street has a 

 fine lot of plants, especially Floriana, 

 Lawson and Queen Louise. Her violets 

 are in the junk of condition as usual. 



Mr. Whiting is rebuilding a number of 

 houses this summer and keeping up to 

 date in spite of his age. 



George S. Osborn is all through hous- 

 ing carnations, having commenced very 

 early, July 7. Lawson, Cressbrook, 

 Queen Louise, Floriana, Marquis, Nelson, 

 Estelle, Crane and others look promising. 

 Murphy's White is being tried here, and 

 is certainly a rapid grower; its progress 

 will be watched with interest. 



J. F. Coombs went with the Knights of 

 Pythias on their trip to California. 



James Young reports heavy loss on car- 

 nations from stem-rot. 



"QUICK AS A WINK." 



A sample of the "Quick-as-a-Wink" 

 hose coupling sent us by the W. J. Clark 

 Company, Salem, O., proved that this 

 simple device is a great .saver of time 

 and labor. With this coupling a section 

 of hose can be attached to the water 

 pipe in a small fraction of the time it 

 takes to use the usual screw coupling. 

 As florists are continually making and 

 breaking couplings in their work this lit- 

 tle invention is of special interest to 

 them. Time is money these days, and 

 every inexpensive device for the saving 

 of time must be employed. 



CINDERS FOR PROPAGATING. 



Eeplying to au imiuirj- Mr. Vesey 

 writes that the cinders he used in his 

 propagating bed were from soft coal. 

 The roots made are more^ stiff and wiry 

 than those made in sand? He has used 

 the finely sifted cinders for four succes- 

 sive batches of cuttings, and has never 

 seen any indications of fungus, and does 

 not look for any unless the drainage of 

 the bench should become defective. 



West Pullm.\n, III. C. C. Hess will 

 build three greenhouses 18x300 feet each 

 on his market gardening farm on the 

 Calumet river. Frank Engle has the 

 contract.
