 20 for his winter home in Jupiter, 

 Florida. He has been enjoying the

 Lansdowne and Ocean City the past 

 six months, with the added enjoyment 

 of association with family and friends, 

 and departed spry as a cricket — a won- 

 der for an eighty-nine-year old. 



The appeal being sent out by Robert 

 Pyle on behalf of Father Srhoener, the 

 famous rose hybridizer of Brooks, Ore- 

 gon, should meet with a generous re- 

 sponse from all interested in the ad- 

 vancement of horticulture. Samuel S. 

 Pennock president of the American 

 Rose Society is taking an active per- 

 sonal interest in the matter and is 

 busy enlisting the sympathy of the 

 trade in this worthy cause. Let others 

 turn in and do their little share.

 house plants were the leading topics. 



The trade in and about Providence at 

 the present time is regarded as the 

 best that it has been for a long time. 

 That there is a great deal of confl- 

 dence in the future is Indicated in the 

 fact that there are nearly a dozen
