CRATING FLOWER POTS. 



Our Rochester (N. Y.) correspon- 

 dent sends us the following pertinent 

 communication: 



"My attention has been drawn to 

 the unwieldy and insecure crates, in 

 which some potteries send their 

 goods, and I must say that one firm 

 here ought to take action to recover 

 for pots smashed. Very few green- 

 house plants are fitted with steam 

 cranes, and nothing less could be used 

 to lift some of the crates seen. If 

 potteries, advertising in HORTICUL- 

 TITRE, were to guarantee secure and 

 handleable crates, their orders would 

 increase." 



We hope our wise flower-pot manu- 

 facturers will take due notice. 



Silver cups, sixty dollars in cash and 

 several diplomas, were divided among 

 the winners of the Winter Hill (Mass.) 

 Improvement Association's third an- 

 nual garden contest on September 17.
