HOBTICULTUHB 



April 19, 1913 



and Batchelor all surpassed them- 

 selves and were a credit to our burg 

 and the show. 



Of the many delightful foregather- 

 ings one of the best was with George 

 A. Robinson of Hall & Robinson, Mon- 

 treal. Mr. Robinson is from south of 

 the Tweed, but good enough to have 

 had better luck, which is high praise 

 from "a citizen of the world" who had 

 better luck. Mr. Robinson has made a 

 good name for himself as a grower 

 and shrewd business man, and is now 

 one of Montreal's substantial citizens. 



Another Canadian was C. Papkman, 

 who is of the same distinguished de- 

 rivation as the two referred to above. 

 We met him first in New York some 

 years ago and now we find he has 

 blossomed out into successor to an 

 old business connection of ours — Gra- 

 ham Bros, of Ottawa. .Mr. Packman 

 is well pleased with the outlook and 

 assures us that Ottawa is one of the 

 best cities for a pushing wide-awake 

 florist or seedsman. 



David S. Miller, gardener for George 

 Van Mason, Tuxedo, N. Y., proved a 

 delightful companion and on the qui 

 Vive to swap history, ethics, philisophy 

 or gossip, past, present and future. 

 He seemed delighted to find that al- 

 though I had never been farther north 

 than Inverness, yet that 30 years or so 

 ago, as shipping clerk for Ben Reid's. 

 I knew all about Wick and Lerwick. 



The next time you go to Montreal 

 do not forget to look up William 

 O'Brien Cotter, managing director of 

 the Montreal Floral Exchange, and a 

 live wire. He was one of the most 

 distinguished looking six-footers in 

 the younger set. 



Thomas Page, Brookside, Great Bar- 

 rlngton, Mass., we only had a few 

 minutes' chat with. But enough to 

 make us eagerly desire a better ac- 

 quaintance. 



We talked with the redoutable Ed. 

 Jenkins for some time — quite unaware 

 until he had walked away who the 

 gentleman was. Then some kind 

 friend said, "Don't you know who that 

 was?" Enlightened, we ran after and 

 caught him just at the swing door — 

 with our abject apology. 



G. C. Watson. 



Chester Jay Hunt invites his friends 

 to see his collection of spring-flower- 

 ing bulbs at his trials in Montclair, N. 

 J. If the season is a normal one. the 

 daffodils will be at their best during 

 the last of April and early in May; 

 the early tulips during the first week 

 in May; the late tulips about mid-May. 

 Notice of exact dates will be given up- 

 on request. 



Among the hundred and fifty differ- 

 ent daffodils may be seen such sorts 

 as Apricot, Barcarolle, Bedouin, Black- 

 well, Circlet, Coeur de Lion, Cossack, 

 Duke of Bedford. Evangeline, Home- 

 spun, King Alfred, Lady Margaret Bos- 

 cawen, Masterpiece, Monarch. Red 

 Beacon, Seagull, Sunrise, Virgil, White 

 Queen, and many other rare and equal- 

 ly handsome varieties. Over three 

 hundred varieties of tulips will be in 

 flower, two hundred of these being 

 May-flowering kinds.
