The trade inspection trip to Henry 

 F. Michell Company's nursery at An- 

 dalusia. Pa., of which mention is made 

 under the Philadelphia news column 

 should interest every gardener and 

 florist, for many up-to-date novelties 

 will be seen here at their best, at this 

 time. Particularly interesting will be 

 the field of the new geranium "Helen 

 Michell," which notwithstanding the 

 trying weather conditions is now a 

 glorious sight; a wonderful collection 

 of new phloxes and other perennials, 

 newer cannas and dahlias, in tact 

 everything that can be had in bloom 

 at this time. Free transportation to 

 Andalusia and return from Philadel- 

 phia is provided for by the House of 

 Michell.

NEW YORK STATE FAIR, SEPTEM- 

 BER 8TH TO 13TH, 1913. 



C. H. Vick, of Rochester, N. Y., 

 Superintendent of the Floral Depart- 

 ment, is a very busy man these days, 

 making preparations for the coming 

 show which he intends shall eclipse 

 all previous ones. Floral Hall will 

 be made a veritable beauty spot as 

 part of the building will be laid out 

 as a flower garden with turfed lawns, 

 flower beds, walks and trellises cov- 

 ered with vines, etc. 



Lord & Burnham will erect a con- 

 servatory 40 X 60 feet complete with 

 boiler and pipes and the benches will 

 be filled with a splendid collection of 

 plants. This of itself will prove a 

 great drawing card and will doubtless 

 be a splendid advertisement for the 

 firm. A fine band will be in attend- 

 ance each day, and it goes without 

 saying that Floral Hall will be the 

 Mecca for all visitors. 



The premium list this year calls for 

 nearly $3,000 for plants, designs and 

 cut flowers, which should insure a 

 large entry list. Those having special- 

 ities will find a splendid field for ad- 

 vertising them as last year there were 

 over two hundred thousand paid ad- 

 missions to the Fair. Mr. Vick's abil- 

 ity as an organizer is well and favor- 

 ably known. This year he has chosen 

 Henry Youell. Financial Secretary of 

 the American Gladiolus Society, as his 

 assistant. Exhibitors may feel as- 

 sured that every facility and attention 

 will be given them. 



Premium lists may be had free by 

 addressing A. E. Brown. Secretary of 

 the New York State Fair, Syracuse. 

 N. Y. Entries close August 30th. 



As it is difficult to obtain accommo- 

 dation at the hotels during Fair week. 

 Mr. Youell will gladly recommend re- 

 spectable and reasonable places to 

 those who will write him at his ad- 

 dress. No. .538 Cedar street, Syracuse.
