Lilium Formosum will probably be 

 exceedingly scarce this fall, according 

 to the present reports, as the crop does 

 not promise to be nearly as large as 

 the demands require. 



Waterloo, Neb. — The plant of the 

 Waldron Seed Company here was to- 

 tally destroyed by fire on the morning 

 of March IS. Loss about $65,000, In- 

 surance will cover about two-thiids of 

 the loss. The fire started at the s'de 

 of the building next to the railroad 

 track and is supposed to have origi- 

 nated from sparks thrown out by a 

 passing locomotive. The burned 

 building was valued at $7000 and the 

 machinery and seeds stored in it made 

 up the balance of the loss. 



GREENHOUSES FOR CORNELL. 



New York, March 25, 1913. 

 Editor Hokticultuke: 



Dear Sir: I have just been ad- 

 vised by Wm. F. Kasting that a bill 

 authorizing an appropriation of $60,- 

 000 for greenhouses at Cornell Uni- 

 versity, to be used in experimental 

 work in flowers and vegetables, is 

 very likely to pass the Senate. On 

 behalf of the legislative committee of 

 the New York Florists' Club, I would 

 urge every florist in the state of 

 New York to write to his Senator 

 at once urging him to vote for the 

 bill. I would also urge them to write 

 to His Excellency, Governor Wm. 

 Sulzer, Executive Mansion, Albany, 

 urging that he sign the bill. Stress 

 should be laid on the fact that the 

 florists want this appropriation, for 

 the better development of horticul- 

 ture in the state of New York, and 

 that if the Empire State is to hold, 

 her prestige as a flower producer in 

 competition with other states, it is es- 

 sential that this bill be passed and 

 become a law. Patrick O'Mara.
