THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



the competition should prove very keen in the vegetable 

 classes this fall. 



A big adtlition to the already extensive rock garden is 

 being made by James .Marlborough this season on the 

 large estate ofThomas E. Proctor, Topsfield, Mass. Mr. 

 Marlborough's grapes and other hothouse fruits, which 

 have won special gold medals in the past, are of fine 

 quality this season. 



The sudden demise of Mrs. George H. Baker has cast 

 a gloom over the liaker estate, Tu.xedo Park, X. V.. 

 where she was much loved by all who came in contact 

 with her. Mrs. Baker always took a keen interest in 

 everythingabout the estate. Mr. James MacMacken, it-- 

 superintendent, anticipates no changes, and expects that 

 the plans for future improvements will be carried out. 



Joseph M. Gleason, one of the oldest and most re- 

 spected seedsmen of Boston, who died on July 20. left a 

 host of friends among the private gardeners in New Eng- 

 land. He was first associated with Allan & Company, of 

 New York, and later with Everett and Gleason, Schlegel 

 & Fottfer Company, and at the time of his death was 

 treasurer of the T. J. <;"irey Company. 



Charles R. Russell has succeeded the late Archibald 

 Robey as superintendent of the Helen Gould estate at 

 Tarrytown, N. Y. Mr. Russell is well known to the 

 gardening profession, having been for a number of years 

 superintendent of the Choate estate at Lenox, Mass. Be- 

 fore assuming his duties on the Gould estate he was su- 

 perintendent at Lakeside Gardens, Elberon, N. J. 



Many gardeners" assistants who have attended the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amhurst, Mass., 

 have been sorry to learn that Prof. E. A. White, for some 

 years in charge of the Floricultural Department, will soon 

 leave for Ithaca, N. Y., to take the place made vacant at 

 Cornell University by the death of Prof. John Craig. 

 Prof. White has done splendid work for floriculture at 

 Amhurst, and will be much missed. 



At the annual picnic of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, of Boston, held at Cunningham Park, East Milton, 

 Mass., the private gardeners' teams beat the commercial 

 growers in the tug of war, baseball game, and quoits, 

 making a complete clean-up. The baseball game between 

 single and married ladies proved one of the most in- 

 teresting events of the day. the single ladies nosing out 

 a win. There were twenty-six sporting events, and all 

 were keenl\- contested.
