RAMBLINGS. 



On the waj- to the carnation conven- 

 tion 1 looked in on A. H. Woeppel, at 

 Corning, N. Y., who showetl me a house 

 of Queen Louise in bloom that equalled 

 I saw at Brooklyn — healthy, 

 stock, early and continuous 

 Lawson also was very fine. 

 Wettlin, at Hornellsville, was 

 rushed with orders for funeral work, 

 and was one of the unfortunate ones 

 who could not be spared from home. 



H. X. Hofl'man has shaken the dust 

 (or snow) from his feet at Elmira and 

 headed eastward. A peep into his houses 

 disclosed Lawson. Estelle, White CUnirl 

 — the leaders in their class — fine stock 

 that has done remarkably well through 

 the Avinter. The iLirie Louise violet is 

 well grown here. 



John Eudy. the genial gardener to the 

 Hon. .J. Sloa'te Fassett, was busy packing 

 his fine scarlet seedling for exhibition. 

 I saw John later on and he remarked: 

 "Wait until Flamingo has flown, or 

 rather been distributed, before I present 

 my candidate." 



Grove P. Rawson was prevented by a 

 severe cold from being with the crowd. 

 He does not know what hv missed by not 

 being present, but will doubtless read 

 with interest the report as published in 

 your enterprising medium. His stock 

 "looked promising. He claims that if 

 Cressbrook is grown similarly to lawson 

 it will be a success here. Floriana is 

 not a success here. Plant Marquis early 

 and grow it naturally. Prosperity is of 

 equal value with roses. Lillian Pond is 

 a sterling variety. In roses Wootton 

 is preferred to Liberty. It is very free 

 and sells well. 



Mrs. il. L. Barnes, of Bingbamton. re- 

 ported excellent business and expressed 

 great interest in the convention, which 

 turned out such a grand siiccess. 



Returning homeward. I stopped off at 

 Albany and found Fred Danker rushed 

 with tuneral work. He was well satis- 

 fied with his visit to Brooklyn. 



H. G. Eyres was ])re\cnled at the 

 last moment from attending liy a large 

 funeral order which kept his force busy 

 for two days. 



I met t" J. Totten. of Saratoga, who 

 stopped otf on his way home from Cuba, 

 where he had been to recuperate. He says 

 he would not have missed the convention 

 for a great deal. W, M. 



REPLY TO A READER. 



In reply to A Reader will say that 

 white or burr oak wovild make good 

 greenhouse rafters if strictly clear; but 

 to get it clear would probably cost more 

 than pine or cypress, A small knot 

 in oak will cause it to warp or twist, 

 while a knot of the same size in the 

 other woods would have little efltcct. 

 Have had both greenhouse and mill 

 training and speak from experience.
