AMERICAN GROWN TULIPS. 



Mr. Jas. Jensen, Supt. of Humboldt 

 Park. Chicago, has presented us with 

 a Belle Alliance tulip in a 4-inch pot, 

 bearing four flowers. The bulb was 

 from a lot grown in the State of Wash- 

 ington and given him to try. The re- 

 sults of the trial have been very satis- 

 factory, the bulbs producing fully as 

 freely as the Holland grown article, 

 though they do not present so hand- 

 some an appearance when received, 

 the skin being rough, probably due to 

 being grown in a heavier soil than that 

 of the Holland bulb fields. 



NEW CARNATIONS. 

 Mr. P. H. Therkildson. ironton. O.. 

 sends us blooms of two new carnations 

 that seem very promising. One. named 

 Anna Therkildson. is a pleasing shade 

 of red. very full, three inches across, 

 and borne on a good stem. The other, 

 named Frances Willard, is a trifle 

 larger than the preceding, equally full, 

 very prettily striped with carmine on 

 a white ground. The stem of this vari- 

 ety is also good. Should the habit and 

 productiveness be satisfactory both 

 sorts should prove useful. 



FINE VALLEY. 



We have received from J. M, McCul- 

 lough's Sons, Cincinnati, O,, two 

 bunches of very fine lily of the valley 

 which, we are advised, is of the quality 

 cut daily by Mr. Theodore Harcourt 

 gardener for Mr. Albert McCullough.' 

 The valley sent was certainly excellent 

 and would rank with the best produced 

 anywhere in this country. 



RATS. 



We find chloride of lime in open rat 

 holes a decided quietus. Moisten a lit- 

 tle when taken from a new can. The 

 nimble nuisances object to walking 

 through it. .T. e. B 



A LETTER FROM WM. SCOTT REGARDING 



GEMESEE GARMATIOM 



Buffalo, Febniarv 8, 1S98. 

 DANL 15, LUNG. 



De.\r Slk:--Vou ask for my present impression of carnatioa Genesee, of which I 

 am growing a bench of 1,'AH) plants. 



Its habit of growth under glass is perfect and needing little support. 



In size, purity of color, form and good stem, it leaves little to be desired. A ran- 

 dom selected bunch of 25 flowers, picked on the .ith inst. lor my retail trade, just as 

 they grew, without any sorting, show^ed stems averaging 16 inclies long, and blooms 

 averaging 2?4 inches diameter. A very valuable feature is that in a hundred tiowers 

 tliere is scarcely one to discard as not up to standard. 



Both last year and the present winter, it far outsells any white we have yet handled. 



The most sincere result of my impressions is that next winter I shall grow it ex- 

 clusively, for in my opinion its many and assured good qualities make it a commer- 

 cial white superior to an> that I have yet tried. 



1 am convinced that this hne white could be lifted with buds well advanced, thus 

 ensuring tiowers early in Uct()iier. 



My soil is a dark, sandy loam. One quart of bone flower to one harrow load of 

 soil was used, but no animal manure. Yours very truly. WM. SCOTT.
