TWO EXQUISITE NEW LILIES. 



Liliuiii siitolmeuense. 



Lilium sutchuenense is a dainty 

 little orange-yellow lily. It was award- 

 ed honorable mention by the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society at the 

 Sweet Pea Show in Boston, July 13, 

 1912. 



The other picture shows Lilium 



Lilium Ducliartiei. 



Duchartrei, another pretty little gem, 

 white dotted with violet and very 

 unique. It was honored with a first- 

 class certificate at the same time and 

 place. Both of these lilies are Wilson 

 introductions, perfectly hardy, and 

 were exhibited by R. & J. Farquhar 

 & Co. 



CHICAGO NOTES.

 joying a motor trip in Michigan. 



E. B. Washburn, son of Chas. Wash- 

 burn, of Bassett & Washburn, is con- 

 valescing. 



C. M. Dickinson, manager of E. H. 

 Hunt, is again in Michigan camping 

 on the lake shore. 



Paul M. Bryant is now numbered 

 with the office force of the Foley Man- 

 ufacturing Co., where he will take 

 charge of the work on the new cata- 

 logue. 



Everything is moving smoothly con- 

 ventionward and the Chicago florists 

 will prove themselves more proficient 

 In making and carrying out plans than 

 in talking. All the various commit- 

 tees are quietly at work and as the 

 time draws near details are rapidly 

 nearing completion.

NEW YORK NOTES. 



H. A. Scollery, Chatham, N. J., just 

 returned from a trip to England. 



Harry Goldberg of A. T. Bodding- 

 ton's has just returned from two weeks 

 in the Catskills looking as brown as 

 the proverbial berry. 



A horse attached to a delivery wagon 

 of the Kervan Co. on W. 28th street 

 took fright and ran away last Tuesday 

 morning. There was big excitement 

 for a brief time but no damage re- 

 sulted. 



The recent heavy rains have greatly 

 improved vegetation in this vicinity. 

 Carnations in the field while having 

 had a good start this season, had begun 

 to feel the want of natural moisture 

 and it is quite a relief to see the im- 

 provement apparent all around. 



Moore, Hentz & Nash, who have ac- 

 quired the Bedford Flower Co., Bed- 

 ford Hills, will be cutting for market 

 in a couple of weeks. A large amount 

 of money has been spent on the ven- 



ture, about the success of which there 

 cannot be much doubt with Mr. Hentz 

 as visiting manager and Mr. Pritchard 

 (late of Budlong's) as resident fore- 

 man. 



Visitors: — Miss Emma Niemann, 

 Western Springs, 111.; Chas. H. Vick,
