NEWS NOTES. 



Hitchings & Co. have moved into 

 their new factor.y at East Elizabeth, 

 N. J., and have commenced operations 

 in the foundry department. The con- 

 struction shop remains at West Side 

 avenue, Jersey City, for the present. 



The range of new houses soon to be 

 commenced at Bronx Botanical Gar- 

 den. New York, is planned eventually 

 to be the largest range in the world. 

 Power house and a portion of the heat- 

 ing apparatus have already been in- 

 stalled. The first group will consist 

 of five houses. Bids on construction of 

 same will be opened August 1. 



An oval bed of ornamental foliaged 

 plants, 16x30 feet in extent, in front of 

 the City Hall in Detroit, is one of the 

 prime attractions of the neighborhood. 

 A noble specimen of Phoenix Leonen- 

 sis. 12 feet in height, forms the centre. 

 Pandanus Veitchii, acalyphas and cro- 

 tons in formal arrangement are the 

 other components, echeveria Mira- 

 bilis being ns'ed as a border. The 

 effect is very good. 



J. W. Rodgers, superintendent of the 

 parks of Cincinnati, has incorporated 

 in his recommendations to the Board 

 of Public Service a proposal that the 

 present city greenhouses be increased 

 to about double their present extent 

 and that a city nursery of fifty acres 

 be established on high ground for the 

 raising of trees and shrubs for the 

 park department. Mr. Rodgers has re- 

 cently returned from an extended tour 

 of inspection of the public parks and 

 playgrounds of other cities. 



New England agriculturists are 

 giving increased attention to the rais- 

 ing of alfalfa, as a forage plant. The 

 Agricultural Experiment Station In 

 Durham, N. H., has just issued a bul- 

 letin on the sulDject, which says: "Up 

 until the present time we have advised 

 against the expenditure of very much 

 time, labor or money by the farmers 

 in trying to grow the plant, because 

 in our experiments we could not secure 

 what would be called a reasonably 

 good stand. After repeated trials, how- 

 ever, in which various methods have 

 been used, we have met with a degree 

 of success which seems to warrant a 

 recommendation for alfalfa to the 

 farmers of the state."

Over 100 florists from Omaha, Coun- 

 cil Bluffs and South Omaha held their 

 annual picnic at Lake Manawa Thurs- 

 day last. Owing to the recent rains 

 and dampness of the lawns the usual 

 contests were not held, but there was 

 a bowling competition, in which J. 

 Hess of Omaha won first prize, a beau- 

 tiful silver mounted umbrella; J. F. 

 Wilcox of Council Bluffs second, and 

 B. Floth of Omaha third, the last two 

 receiving each a box of cigars. 



Supper was served at 6 o'clock, after 

 which the entire party went across the 

 lake for a plunge at Manhattan beach, 

 after patronizing the roller coaster 

 and other park attractions. — Omaha 

 Bee. 



The Detroit Florist Club will give an 

 outing to Bois Blanc on August 8th, 

 ■'07, with a good athletic programme as 

 a special attraction. 



MARYLAND'S VARIETY OF 

 FRUITS. 



One visiting the Maryland horticul- 

 tural exhibit in the States Exhibit Pal- 

 ace at the Jamestown Exposition this 

 week found nine different kinds of 

 fruits exhibited. They are Red Astra- 

 chan and Early Harvest apples, and 

 Greensboro peaches from the Maryland 

 Experiment Station at College Park; 

 Yellow Transparent apples, Lawson 

 pears, huckleberries. Red Miller rasp- 

 berries. Japanese wineberries, and 

 Greensboro peaches from J. Spencer; 

 Marianna plums from Miss Salome 

 Carey, HoUoway gooseberries from R. 

 H. Phelps, and Lucretia dewberries 

 from J. A. Davis. Over twenty exten- 

 sion tables are covered with these 

 luscious fruits. 



The object of the exhibit Is to show 

 the visitors to the exposition the horti- 

 cultural possibilities of the State, and 

 surely this variety and the excellence 

 of the fruit shown impresses one with 

 the ability of the State to live up to 

 the claims of the ardent admirers of 

 this industry. 



The trucking industry is also well 

 represented this week by a large ex- 

 hibit of cucumbers from W. F. Allen, 

 and large new Irish Cobbler potatoes 

 from F. E. Matthews, and new table 

 corn in the ear from Miss Salome Ca- 

 rey^
