Nearly 30i( people enjoyed a public 

 walk in the Arnold Arboretum Satur- 

 day afternoon. It was the most largely 

 attended event of the kind in the his- 

 tory of the institution, many people 

 being attracted by the exquisite au- 

 tumn foliage. Prof. Sargent, director 

 of the Arboretum, had provided com- 

 petent guides, who led the party about 

 the grounds and pointed out the most 

 interesting groups of trees and shrubs. 



West Orange — .Joseph A. llanda has 

 a whole house in flower now of the 

 beautiful albino Cypripedium San- 

 derae. It is a sight well worth an ef- 

 fort to see. Mr. Manda has after ex- 

 tended negotiations secured an addi- 

 tion of 4% acres to his property on 

 Valley Road and has purchased a 

 range of six houses, iron frame, for- 

 merly conducted by George Atkinson 

 at Montclair which he will erect on 

 his new property, forming two 

 houses, 30 x 250, and other smaller 

 ones, as soon as the war ends. 



The Publicity Meeting Committee of 

 the St. Louis Florist Club announced 

 they are ready for their fall and 

 winter campaign and urge all florists 

 to join on the work.
