Killamey as the bulk in supply. Some 

 extra fine lily of the valley is now in 

 from local growers, also paper whites 

 and Easter lilies. Violets have a good 

 demand and are now too plentiihil. 

 Fine demand for smilax, oak branches 

 and asparagus. 



There seems to be 

 WASHINGTON somewhat of a 

 scarcity of really 

 good carnations, with the result that 

 the price has advanced somewhat. 

 Gardenias, too, are also to be had in 

 very limited quantities and prices are 

 quoted on single flowers rather than 

 on dozens or hundreds. Single violets 

 are not very good while the doubles 

 have improved greatly in both quality 

 and price. Roses are quite plentiful. 

 The rain of Saturday put something of 

 a crimp into the chrysanthemum sales 

 for the Georgetown-Virginia football 

 game and quite a few were left over. 

 Great preparations were made for the 

 day and store windows were gaily dec- 

 orated. 



HOLYOKE EXHIBITION. 



One of the best flower shows ever 

 held In the Connecticut Valley was 

 held Thursday afternoon and evening, 

 Nov. 13, in Windsor Hall. Holyoke, 

 Mass., by the Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Club of Holyoke and Northampton. It 

 was the first annual exhibition, and it 

 was well attended. Students from Mt. 

 Holyoke, Smith and Amherst colleges 

 were present, and made a study of 

 the plants and flowers along with 

 their college course. 



There were more than twenty-five 

 entries, which included carnations, 

 roses, chrysanthemums, orchids, flow- 

 ering plants, foliage plants, table and 

 mantel decorations. The groups ar- 

 ranged for decorative effect attracted 

 most attention. A. N. Pierson, ex- 

 hibited fine roses. E. J. Canning of 

 Northampton, in about 100 square feet, 

 staged some fine coniferous ever- 

 greens in pots, with twenty different 

 species in the group. 



The 1st prize for chrysanthemums, 

 collection of twenty-five, was awarded 

 to the Mass. Agricultural College: Mt. 

 Holyoke college was second and H. W. 

 Field of Northampton, third. 



The noteworthy exhibitors were:

NEWS NOTES. 



Indianapolis, Ind. — The boiler shed 

 and greenhouses of Leo Rickenbach 

 were considerably destroyed by fire 

 last week. 



Charles H. Totty. and S. J. Renter 

 have decided to send out their red 

 rose Prince E. C. de Arenberg, next 

 year. This rose has been sold by 

 John Young in the New York market 

 under the name of "Red Prince," but 

 Messrs. Totty and Renter desire it to 

 be sold under Its proper name. This 

 rose has made a decided "hit." 



We are pleased to be able to say 

 that C. C. Laney, Superintendent of 

 Rochester Parks, came home from the 

 hospital on Wednesday, November 

 19th, having been there three weeks. 

 He was operated on for appendicitis. 

 He is recovering rapidly and it looks 

 now that he will be back to business 

 in three or four weeks' time. His 

 case was a most serious one, as dan- 

 gerous complications had commenced 

 when the operation was performed, 

 but thanks to his remarkably strong, 

 rugged constitution he pulled through 

 all right. 



The Department of Entomology of 

 the University of Missouri is working 

 on greenhouse insects with a view of 

 finding more efficient methods of com- 

 bating same. 



Florists will confer a favor on this 

 department by sending to it any rare 

 greenhouse insects they may find. 

 When sending send the insect in a 

 small paper box or mailing tube with 

 several leaves of the plant on which 

 it was found, and also the name of 

 the plant, leaves sometimes being hard 

 to identify. Send to F. A. Varrelman, 

 Department of Entomology, Columbia, 

 Mo. 



WASHINGTON NOTES. 



David A. Bisset, who recently met 

 with an accident while riding a mo- 

 torcycle which he had just purchased, 

 is still confined to the Emergency Hos- 

 pital with a compound fracture of the 

 knee. While he is improving, it will 

 be quite a while before he will be able 

 to do active work. 



The store of F. H. Kramer, at 916 

 F street. Northwest, presents a most 

 pleasing appearance decorated as it is 

 for his annual chrysanthemum and 

 celosia show and the store is daily 

 crowded with visitors. The large 

 greenhouse at the rear of the store 

 is filled to overflowing with these and 

 other flowers, palms, ferns and bulbs 

 in dishes and jardineres. 



Tlie American Pomological Society 

 held the first of its meetings in this 

 city on Tuesday last at the National 

 Museum. The initial meeting was 

 called to order by the society's presi- 

 dent, L. A. Goodman, of Kansas 

 City, and addresses of welcome to the 

 200 or more delegates who were pres- 

 ent were delivered by William F. 

 Gude and by W. A. Taylor, chief of 

 the bureau of plant industry on be- 

 half of Secretary Houston, of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture who was 

 unable to be present. Responses were 

 made by G. L. Tabor, of Florida, and 

 W. T. Macoun, of Canada, and others. 

 An exhibition of nuts and fruits dis- 

 played in the main hall and in the 

 basement of the museum is attracting 

 considerable attention. 



COVER ILLUSTRATION, 



Our front cover page this week car- 

 ries a beautiful picture of the chrys- 

 anthemum display in the greenhouse 

 at Garfield Park. Chicago, last week. 

 Our correspondent informs us that the 

 crowds were so great on Sunday, No- 

 vember 16. that the only thing to be 

 heard was a policeman's "Move on," 

 and nothing could be seen but the 

 people.
