WILLIAM SIM, Cliftondale, Mass 



NEW YORK. 



We are sorry to learn that W. L. 

 Trumpore's health has become so im- 

 paired that he is not able to leave his 

 home in Stapleton, Staten Island. 



Henry Schmidt o£ North Bergen, N. 

 J., was married on Thursday. Septem- 

 ber 27. The happy couple started for 

 a short honeymoon trip to Niagara 

 Falls, Toledo and the west. 



W. P. Ford has been obliged to go 

 liack to the hospital and undergo an- 

 other operation on his injured knee to 

 remove a piece o£ bone which the X- 

 ray had overlooked in the previous 

 operation. 



Chrysanthemum Unaka has sported 

 to a fine bronze form with K. \V. Fen- 

 gar at Irvington, N. J. Like its parent 

 it blooms too early for the shows. Mr. 

 Fengar also has a bronze sport from 

 Mrs. W. Buckingham, the well known 

 late single pink. 



Rather than accede to what they 

 consider unfair and prohibitive de- 

 mands on the part of seventy-three 

 employes who went on a strike two 

 weeks ago for shorter hours and a 

 higher scale of wages, Peter Hender- 

 son & Co., have decided to close up 

 their greenhouse department in Jer- 

 sey City. The company, however, will 

 continue to use its warehouses and 

 will also use certain of the green- 

 houses for storage purposes. 



The most advanced pink chrysanthe- 

 mum at Prank Dinda's place in Farm- 

 ingdale is Alex. Guttman. This ex- 

 ceptionally fine early pink has been 



described here before and we were 

 pleased to see it in such excellent 

 shape again this season. Mr. Dinda has 

 a bronze sport from this variety which 

 he is watching closely and which thus 

 far shows all the good qualities of the 

 parent, with which it is identical in all 

 points except the color. Unaka and 

 Glenview are both seen in splendid 

 form here. 



The floral department of the Min- 

 eola Fair last week was a brilliant and 

 popular feature. Among the exhibits 

 were aquatic plants and flowers from 

 Henry A. Dreer. Philadelphia; dahlias, 

 by .John Lewis Childs, Inc., Flower- 

 field; D. V. Howell, Peconic; Seaside 

 Dahlia Farm, Westhampton Beach, 

 and the Long Island Dahlia Gardens, 

 Hicksville. Special display of gladi- 

 oli were made by E. S. Miller, Wading 

 River; Henry Weston, Hempstead, and 

 John Lewis Childs, Inc. Henry Wes- 

 ton was the judge of the competition 

 confined to professionals of Queens 

 and Nassau counties. 



Accompanied by Alex Guttman we 

 took a hurried trip to Hempstead to 

 see the new scarlet carnation Olive 

 W^hitman one day this week. M. 

 Matheron, who has this prime novel- 

 ty, a cross between Beacon and Vic- 

 tory, is recognized as one of the most 

 successful carnation growers. His 

 houses are fully up to their usual ex- 

 cellence and no variety makes a bet- 

 ter showing of health and vigor than 

 Olive Whitman, of which he has four 

 benches. The date of the introduction 

 of this variety has not yet been de- 



cided on. :\Ir. Matl\eron has a house 

 of sweet peas already well started. 



CLEVELAND. 

 Leon W. Fiske. landscape architect 

 and head of the American Landscape 

 School of Newark, N. Y., has taken up 

 quarters at Willoughby, a suburb of 

 Cleveland, and will spend about two 

 months carrying out a landscaping 

 project on the estate of Edward W. 

 Moore. The estate contains 3,000 

 acres. Mr. Fisk is accompanied by 

 his bride of a month, who was Miss 

 Pauline Miller, of Newark, N. Y. 



The manner in which the world 

 war is teaching the United States to 

 be independent is well illustrated in 

 the manner in which willow basket 

 making has sprung up in America 

 since the German supply has been ctit 

 off. "We are making all our own 

 willow baskets right here in Cleve- 

 land," said W. Q. Potter, of the W. Q. 

 Potter Co., wholesale florists, of High 

 avenue, Cleveland. "Not only that but 

 even though using masculine labor we 

 are making them as cheaply as we 

 used to get the German and French 

 baskets and we do not have to wait 

 tor delivery. We are only using willow 

 which has been growing about Cleve- 

 land for years in the greatest pro- 

 fusion. 



Cincinnati — Mr. and Mrs. Gus 

 Adrian, Sr., have returned after hav- 

 ing spent three months at their cot- 

 tage at Las Chenaux, Mich.
