writes us from London in praise of 

 the great number of growing plants 

 seen in windows of residences and 

 shops, and expresses the wish that the 

 love of flowers and plants so evident

 of July 29, states that Dean Liberty 

 Hyde bailey, of Cornell Department of 

 Agriculture, was knocked down by a 

 runaway horse and carried to his home 

 in an unconscious condition, being seri- 

 ously injured. We extend our sympa- 

 thy to Dr. Bailey, sincerely hoping 

 that later information may modify the 

 first report. 



We are very sorry to learn of the 

 painful accident which befell David 

 Rust, secretary of the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society during the 

 cricket games last Saturday. Mr. 

 Rust slipped and fell, his right foot 

 doubling under him and dislocating 

 the bones of his ankle. The injury is 

 likely to keep him confined to the 

 house at his home in Conshohocken, 

 Pa., for quite a while.
