 Thanks we appear to be a bit vain-glorious over the 

 many emninendatory words that have been 

 expressed, rerballj or by letter, regarding our Special 

 Baltimore Convention Number, for its contents and 

 mal e up, and in approval of our editorial and other 

 features in the succeeding issues. We did feel rather 

 of our convention issue and particularly as to the

 to realize that our work has not gone unnoticed by our

that word, September! It tells us I hat 

 now the tide has turned and business activity is once 

 under way. The recreation season has gone; the 

 hustle season i I ahead. Conventions, outings, the 



Arcadian days of seashore and mountain all must now 

 take their i i lie tablets of memory and the duties 



iry to a successful prosecution of our work 

 loom up before us. In imagination we seem already 

 to snill' the frosty nights, the sulphured atmosphere of 



closed-up rose house, the pungent odor of to 

 smoked ranges. We scent, not far off, the remin 



ranee of chrysanthemums, which carries the : ghts

 the market," whii h, by the way seldom lias anything else

 as there used to be in the distinction of being the first on 

 violets or any other crop? The best — "there

 Advice f or every normal demand your business may 

 make in the season now opening? Any one 

 who went to Baltimore and saw thai unparalleled exhi-

 mind as to what he must needs do and what he must 

 if he expect? to keep abreast of the progressive 

 elements of the rapidly developing horticultural indus- 

 of this country. Why not follow up the inspira- 

 tion now by getting busy with Horticulttjr] '- adver

 of two.
