 O. B. Had^Nen, for many years presi-

 l^nown as Hadwen Parl-s, to the city ot 

 Worcester several years ago. lie offi- 

 ciated as president ot several other so- 

 cieties during his career, including the 

 American Pomological and Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Societies. 



Other Deaths. 

 Michael C. Ring, tor the past 

 twenty-five years engaged in the 

 florist business in Quincy. Mass., died 

 on Oct. 26 at his home. Mr. Ring 

 was born In Ireland in 1830 and came 

 to America in 1855. He is survived 

 by a widow and three children. 



While he slept, Renn Thauer, a 

 gardener employed by Frederick 

 Fenster, ot 345 Linwood avenue, Buf- 

 falo, was asphyxiated by coal gas in 

 the barn at the rear of the Fenster 

 home. His lifeless body was found 

 in bed by Mr. Fenster. The police 

 and Deputy Medical Examiner How- 

 land were summoned. Dr. Howland 

 believes the man fell asleep after fill- 

 ing the stove with coal and was soon 

 overcome. Thauer was 65 years old. 



WESTERN NEW YORK APPLE 

 CROP REPORT. 



.Acordiiig to reports from growers, 

 the apple crop as a whole has made 

 progress in the right direction lately. 

 .A. recent windstorm blew many wormy 

 apples to the ground, but the sound 

 ti-uit on the trees was benefitted. 

 AVintcr varieties, especially Baldwins, 

 have improved considerably since 

 AugTiet, and the crop will turn out 

 much better than expected a month 

 ago. At the same time, however, it 

 cannot be said that early deficiencies 

 v/111 be entirely recovered. The crop 

 will fall short of last year in both 

 quantity and quality, although there 

 will be s(.me fine stock. 



Greenings have so far matured ami 

 ripened that they are being picked in 

 various orchards. Results are irregvi- 

 lar, some fruit showing up fine and 

 some poor. 



Taken as a whole, however, the 

 out-turn nay be called disappointing. 

 At least, that is what many have 

 termed it. One grower said that in 

 his orchard where the crop looked 

 pretty good earlier in the season, he 

 was picking from one to two barrels 

 of No. 2's in every ten. The fruit is 

 bein.g moved daily now into storage. 

 Most of the storage space is leased, al- 

 ihou.gh some houses are still adverti- 

 sing that they have a little room left. 



The New York "Packer" says: 



"Tlie best Greenings have been bought at 

 prices running from ?3 to $3.75 a barrel. 

 The best orchards are being picked up 

 dally. The action ot the middle western 

 men has stimulated the buying movement. 

 The operators from the west have been 

 buying freely, paying the top prices as 

 though they had money to burn and were 

 not afraid to take a chance. Many of the 

 eastern buyers passed up what the western 

 men stumbled over each other to get. Some 

 New York buyers would Just as soou rob 

 Peter to pay Paul, but they don't feel like 

 robbing themselves to pay farmers four 

 plunks for apples that will stand them 

 from .'fo to $6 a barrel. Such prices, they 

 say, are too dangerous for the effete East. 

 Co'uscqueiitly tiuite a few ot them are let- 

 ting the western operators bite off just as 

 much as they want, and it Is intimated 

 that maybe some of them have already bit- 

 ten off more than they can chew. Fmlt 

 that posts from $4 to ,$5 or more barreled 

 and on top of that has to stand the storage 

 charge, to the cautious eastern man looks 

 like a questionable investment when money 

 is tight and the investment field offers 

 other mote promising opportunities." 



is Your Name In The Above 

 List? If Not, Why Not ? 



Last week there passed away in the 

 person of Dr. Frederick Bradley one 

 ot the most devoted and enthusiastic 

 horticultuiists in the city ot Newport, 

 R. I. Although as a horticulturist 

 classed an amateur. Dr. Bradley 

 was neveitheless an ardent supporter 

 of every movement tending to the ad- 

 vancement of those practically en- 

 gaged in the caling. He was at one 

 time president of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society and a member at the 

 lime ot his death- 



The Julius Roehrs Company, Ruth- 

 erford, N. J., are sending out an illus- 

 trs ted f older, introducing their beauti- 

 ful new Rambler rose, Newport Fairy. 

 A colored plate of this fine novelty 

 is shown and gives a good idea of the 

 rich pink tinting of its flowers. 



We are glad to learn from George 



M. Kellogg that, although it is only 

 four weeks since the disastrous boiler 

 explosion at his greenhouses in Pleas- 

 ant Hill, Mo., he has already got the 

 place into fair shape, the 67 houses, 

 each 250 feet in length, all of which 

 were damaged by falling fragments, 

 being repaired and glazed. It took one 

 thousand boxes of glass to accom- 

 plish this. The expens'e together with 

 the cost of new boilers amounted to 

 120,000. Mr. Kellogg says his great- 

 este help lay in the fact that h'e had 

 a carload of reserve glass on nana 

 when the accident happened, and he 

 recomir'ends this as worthy of con- 

 >5idpration by his brother llorists. Mr. 

 Kellogg desires to express through 

 HOltTlCULTURE his appreciation and 

 gratitude for the many worrls of sym- 

 pathy which have come to him from 

 every part of the country.
