Walter Mott's 

 Notes by the Way 



Westerly, R. I. 



S. J. Renter & Son are working up a 

 supply of the rose Prince E. C. d'Aren- 

 berg, and from reports received will 

 be pressed owing to the limited stock 

 and large demand. Lady Ann Barron- 

 dell is the latest arrival. 'Tis a fine 

 rose, a very vigorous grower and 

 pleasing shade of pink. 



Hadley, Mass. 



The Montgomery Co. establishment 

 has been visited of late by many 

 prominent growers who are especially 

 interested in the new rose Hadley, 

 which in itself well repays the visitor, 

 who sees it now at its best. Only Kil- 

 larneys, Richmonds and Hadleys are 

 grown here, and an excellent oppor- 

 tunity for comparison is offered by the 

 two latter being grown in the same 

 house. Hadley shows up superior in 

 every point, more particularly in color 

 and in foliage. 



F. R. Pierson, accompanied by J. A. 

 Fotheringham, were interested visit- 

 ors, just previous to my visit. 



Arrangements have been made for 

 distribution of Hadley by A. N. Pier- 

 son owing to lack of proper facilities 

 at home. 



Springfield, Mass. 



J. W. Adams Co. received awards 

 for fruit and conifers at the exhibition 

 of the Mass. State Fruit Association, 

 held here during the past week, and 

 which was a success in every respect. 



The recent severe freeze will affect 

 much stock that is established here, 

 particularly California privet, of which 

 a stock of forty thousand plants are 

 believed to be affected. Shall know 

 later. 



Meacham & Haskett of the Posey 

 Shop are increasing their clientage by 

 advertising specials when stock Is 

 plentiful. Just at present 'tis the re- 

 verse. 



Aitken makes a fine showing of the 

 Mrs. Ward rose in yellow baskets and 

 ribbon, and finds it a big seller. 



Newport, R. I. 



The Broadway Hardware Co. will 

 soon reopen on the site of the Weaver 

 Building, destroyed by fire some time 

 since. A full line of garden stocks 

 will be carried. T. J. Nolan, one of 

 the partners, reports a satisfactory 

 list of customers to be transferred to 

 the new store. 



Gibson Bros., now on Bellevue Ave., 

 have things well shaped out since the 

 partnership was dissolved and have 

 plenty of business ahead. 



It is rumored here that Carl Jurgens 

 intends removing to Chicago to take 

 up the growing of lily of the valley 

 in that city. 



St. Louis. — V. H. Morgan, a repre- 

 sentative of Lord & Burnham Co., 

 New York, was a caller last week. 

 John Rosenkrantz & Son, of Heems- 

 stede, Holland, bulb growers and nur- 

 serymen, have opened an office at 

 Webster Grove.
