What a delight It is to the senses 

 when one can enjoy to the full such 

 Beauties as T. J. Totten grows. Can 

 the whole credit he given him. or must 

 it be assumed that the beneficent min- 

 eral waters which abound here con- 

 duce in some measure toward produc- 

 ing such fine stock? Anyhow, some 

 six houses are utilized tor this rose 

 alone, and New York with its crack 

 growers must yield a point in favor 

 here in excellence of bloom, foliage 

 and yield: an excellent young stock is 

 Iirepared for succession. 



Carnations are a little off crop just 

 now. the reason being that no fire is 

 on, which permits the plants to hard- 

 en up in order to bloom well along 

 into the summer, when the demand 

 cannot be supplied at this popular wa- 

 tering place. Speaking of chrysanthe- 

 mttms. Mr. Totten remarked upon the 

 vagaries of Pink Ivory, which he 

 planted in three houses and obtained 

 as many distinct shades, each of 

 which was pleasing. He attributes this 

 chiefly to variation of light and shade. 



Recently the original block of houses 

 was torn down and removed to the 

 new section, which is now a block 

 comprising 50.000 square feet, with of- 

 fice attached, situated in the best part 

 of town. In addition is a down-town 

 store on Broadway (not Broadway. 

 New York, although it is a worthy 

 counterfeit), where every convenience 

 associated with an up-to-date place is 

 found. W. M.

It is with regret that I report the de- 

 cease of John Aitken. senior member 

 of the firm of Aitken & Son. Mr. Ait- 

 ken. who left us on April 30. was a 

 long sufferer from a complication of 

 diseases of the stomach. The worthy 

 gentleman was born in Glasgow in 

 lSo5, was a good gardener of a most 

 liberal temperament, combined with 

 grit. The flourishing business built up 

 by him will be continued by Mark Alt- 

 ken, upon whose shoulders has de- 

 scended the mantle of his sire.
