SOME POPULAR CHRYSANTHE- 

 MUMS IN FRANCE. 

 One of tlie most popular varieties in 

 France is Duchesse d'Orleans a big 

 incurviiif; wiiite Japanese that has 

 been grown there for some years. Not 

 only for exhibition but also for mar- 

 ket is it held in esteem, and this fact 

 was brought home to me very clearly 

 when visitinK a market grower who 

 had 10,000 plants of it in pots for the 

 cut flower market. Tokio is also a 

 well patronized variety for specimen 

 plants, a pale pinkish lilac bloom 

 with quilled florets. F. S. Vallis is 

 everywhere and always large. Lt. Col. 

 Dueroiset another Mme. Gustave 

 Henry, Sapho. N. C. S. Jubilee, W. R. 

 Church. Mrs. Barkley, Le Peyron, Hen- 

 ry Second, Ch. Schwarz, Souvenir de 

 I-ombez, Prest. Bevan, W. Duckham 

 and Alliance are met with in very 

 many of the exhibits. C. H. P. 



BUSINESS CHANGES. 



J. G. Haber has taken the Bock 

 greenhouses at Cambridge, Mass., and 

 will continue the business. 



Charles Thorley has opened a new 

 store at 86th street and Columbus 

 avenue. New York. 



Fleischman has leased a store in the 

 arcade of the new U. S. Express Com- 

 pany's building at Rector street and 

 Trinity place. New York.

JOLIET CARNATION NOTES. 



The Chicago Carnation Company's 

 Aristocrat with its fine color and per- 

 fect flower and stem is all and more 

 than is claimed for it. No sign of any 

 unhealthiness in the 24,500 plants. As 

 a keeper Aristocrat is unsurpassed; for 

 10 days flowers from the Chicago show 

 kept in good condition in my house 

 and outlasted several other good kinds. 

 Some other good ones are the follow- 

 ing: Red Riding Hood, a promising 

 scarlet, of the Craig-Victory class, with 

 sturdy, stiff, robust growth. Rose 

 Pink Enchantress, rosy pink, overlaid 

 with a silvery shimmery gauze-like 

 venation — a beauty. J. A. Valentine, a 

 heavy, smooth petalled Daybreak, very 

 close to being "next"; he has begun 

 to sport, a plant with a single brighter 

 than Candace colored flower has hap- 

 pened since the show. Haines' Impe- 

 rial, a bizarre, blush rose and pink 

 flower. Gen'l Guild, a red red flower 

 of peculiar build. Among all the 

 whites, White Perfection wins by 4 

 lengths. The crop of carnations gen- 

 erally is very late here — indeed this 

 is a general complaint all around. 



Here is the glorious Golden Eagle 

 of Dorners' — the chrysanthemum that 

 I said last year was Bonnaffon five 

 times intensified (and I repeat it). 

 What a blessing it would be if good- 

 natured, inexperienced employees 

 could be prevented from making al- 

 most fatal blunders! This is what 

 happened to Golden Eagle — nearly 

 killed with too much solid and tco 

 much liquid manure from the start: 

 fortunately a goodly number of stock 

 plants escaped. JOHN THORPE. 



SMITH'S CHRYSANTHEMUM 



MANUAL. 

 The revised edition of this indis- 

 pensable volume, with its one hun- 

 dred pages of wisilom and experience, 

 has just been issued. No chrysanthe- 

 mum grower can afford to dispense 

 with it; every minutest detail in cul- 

 ture for commercial or exhibition pur- 

 poses is covered in the plainest man- 

 ner. No one is better qualified than 

 Elmer D. Smith to treat on chrysan- 

 themum topics and the book should 

 have a very large sale. The price is 

 40 cents. Copies can be obtained from 

 HORTICULTURE.
