To Incorporate Boddington Business. 



At a meeting of the creditors of 

 A. T. Boddington, held July 1st, it 

 was unanimously resolved to Incor- 

 porate. The statement of the busi- 

 ness transacted during the past four 

 months was sufficiently favorable to 

 warrant these gentlemen in making 

 The Arthur T. Boddington Company, 

 Inc., a permanency under this new 

 title. This incorporation will be with- 

 out prejudice to the claims of the 

 creditors. In fact it was adopted for 

 the purpose of safeguarding their in- 

 terests. 



The value of imports of horticul- 

 tural merchandise into New York for 

 the week ending June 26, is given as 

 follows: Sulphate of potash, $12,500; 

 nitrate of soda, |50,320; clover seed, 

 $22,223; grass seed, $14,853; trees and 

 plants, $676. 



A CORRECTION. 



Referring to our notes on the Sweet 

 Pea exhibition held in San Francisco 

 recently A. C. Zvolanek writes as fol- 

 lows; 



It is correct that I have received 

 the gold medal of honor, awarded to 

 my winter-flowering orchid sweet peas 

 which are planted and grown on the 

 Exposition Garden, prior to the A. S. 

 P. Show, by the superior jury of the 

 Panama-Pacific Exposition and not, as 

 you state from the A. S. P. Society. 



My sweet pea exhibit with the A. S. 

 P. Show was non-competitive.
