J. F. HUSS IN SWITZERLAND. 



A letter from J. F. Huss, of Hart- 

 ford, Conn., who is in Switzerland on 

 a visit to his aged mother, tells o£ the 

 remarkable period of continued rains 

 which has prevailed there, extending 

 over two months this summer. We on 

 this side of the Atlantic would be very 

 glad if we could have a share of it. 

 Mr. Huss writes: 



Arriving at I'aris I spent the rest of my 

 afternoon by visiting that always cele- 

 brated Park Monseau.x. I was very much 

 disappointed to see now poorly all the 

 beddings looked from constant rains and 

 cold nights, and the same condition exists 

 all over Switzerland. From the whole 

 length of France to this lovely country on 

 the level grounds ;he water is lying every- 

 where on the top. Rivers everywhere ar^ 

 overflowing. (Jreat inundations have taken 

 place in many localities of Switzerland. 

 The viticulture, ."o famous about Lake 

 Lemau, is ruined for this year again, as 

 last year was a similar one. The agri- 

 culturist also is suffering everywhere very 

 severely. Vegetables have been ruined in 

 many, many places. There seems no pros-

 when least expected and I cannot make 

 plans to go anywhere. 



Telling of a festival that occurred 

 at Berne, Mr. Huss describes most en- 

 thusiastically the decorations of the 

 city which he says were the most 

 beautiful he had ever seen. ' All the 

 main streets were adorned for their 

 whole length with spruce trees on each 

 side, some 35 ft. in height and 25 ft. 

 apart, with garlands of spruce branch- 

 es in waving line from tree to tree, 

 and the windows throughout the city 

 were decorated with red and white 

 geraniums — the national colors. The 

 Crimson Rambler roses all over Switz- 

 erland impressed him with their bril- 

 liancy, the colors being much more 

 vivid than is the case in America.

Report of the Board of Park Com- 

 missioners of Wilmington, Del., for 

 1909. Wilmington's public reserva- 

 tions appear to be in good hands. 



The Proceedings of the 35th Annual 

 Convention of the American Associa-

 and 10, 1910, is a book of 160 pages, 

 containing the usual report of the 

 papers and discussions, list of mem- 

 bers, etc. The nurserymen go to their 

 meetings for business purposes and 

 this record shows that the business 

 of importance to all engaged in the 

 nursery trade was not neglected at 

 Denver.
