been located for twelve years. The 

 oflBces and warerooms were recently 

 removed to a more modern and con- 

 venient building at the corner of State 

 and Piatt streets, which is said to be 

 one of the finest factory buildings be- 

 tween Boston and Chicago. 



The increased demand for flower and 

 vegetable seeds of the various kinds 

 in the growing of which the Vick con- 

 cerns have specialized, has made it 

 necessary for them to secure more 

 land for that purpose. The accom- 



panying picture taken on the new 

 place this spring shows a part of the 

 farm force setting out aster . plants. 

 If only a fairly good harvest of aster 

 seed is secured this fall from the fifty 

 acres of plants now in the field, it 

 ough to furnish seed to grow plants 

 sufficient to set a border of asters on 

 every state line in the United States, 

 since it is estimated that it would 

 grow a single row of asters over 35,000 

 miles long. The picture represents 

 only a part of the field force. The 



crops are looking well at this time 

 and, weather conditions remaining fa- 

 vorable, another month will furnish 

 a sight on these farms which any flor- 

 ist or seedsman will find worth while 

 coming a good many miles to see.

GREAT EXHIBITION OF ROSES AT 

 BOSKOOP, 1913. 



In the month of July, 1913, a great 

 Exhibition of Roses will be held at 

 Boskoop by the well-known society, 

 Bursary of Trees and Plants." This 

 society can count on the support of 

 nearly all the inhabitants of Boskoop, 

 since the great Exhibition of flowers 

 in 19U had such an enormous success, 

 although it had been brought about 

 by only fifty participants. Mr. Y. H. 

 van Nes, then president of the exhibi- 

 tion will now, supported by the best 

 forces of the village, accept the presi- 

 dency, which guarantees a success. 



To give an idea of what the exhibi- 

 tion will comprise we mention that of 

 roses in pots alone already more than 

 :{0,000 pots have been promised. The 

 schedule of prizes lists nearly 400 

 classes. A. van Kleef, Boskoop, Hol- 

 land, is secretary.
