HARTFORD, CONN. 



Thanksgiving trade cleaned up every- 

 thing except chrysanthemums, which 

 held out through it all. The cold snap 

 has stiifened up the price on carnations 

 and, Tvith the many receptions taking 

 place, trade in general has assumed a 

 more healthy tone. 



A number of down-town stores, after 

 a brief existence, have closed, leaving 

 the field to the old guard, Coombs, 

 Spear, WeJch, McClunie and ilunsell. 



The South End Greenhouses, formerly 

 run by W. A. Power, have been re- 

 opened by a son of J. G. D. Newton, of 

 the Park Street Greenhouses. 



John Coombs made liberal use of 

 paint last summer, making his rose 

 houses look like new. A look over his 

 store shows everything in shape and 

 from the stock of paper boxes, a heavy 

 trade is anticipated. 



Genial Joe McManus, at Spear's, is 

 authority on the, correct thing in color, 

 style, make-up, etc. "Yes, madam, this 

 is the very latest and highly ex- 

 clusive." So it goes, as there is n 

 appeal from Joe's decision. 



A visit to Mr. Welch's place found 

 everything span clean, although it was 

 learned that he was at home sick. 



L. A. Clinton, Director of the Storrs 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, this 

 state, has called attention to the decep- 

 tive character of much of the literature 

 on ginseng culture. The article strikes 

 at tha root of a matter that has long 

 seemed to need scientific investigation.
