TWO NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS BY ELMER D. SMITH & CO. 



Pink Jem 

 Mr. Smith writes that while his best blooms did not 

 exceed 6 inches in diameter their pleasing shade of light 

 pink, perfect form, ideal stem and foliage immediately 

 places this variety in the front rank of the commercial 

 sorts. — C. S. A. Certificate. 



Aesthetic 



Exceptionally beautiful as the name implies. The petals 

 closely incurve and are so arranged as to form distinct 

 tiers of puffs or rolls rather than the regular contour 

 usually seen in the incurved section. Its exquisite shade 

 of delicate primrose as displayed by the unique form im- 

 mediately appeals to those of refined taste. — C. S. A. Cer- 

 tificate.

The December tournament is act- 

 ing as incentive to faithful practice 

 and best efforts, some of the scores 

 creeping up well each night. 



New York Florists' Bowling Club. 

 There was an augmented attend- 

 ance at last Friday night's meeting 

 and consequently the thermometer of 

 hilarity kept at the highest mark all 

 through the performance, what with 

 Scot i ptions of the game and 



deer battles recently near Richmond, 

 Va., where the noise was likened to 

 that in Civil War times and the ever- 

 flowing stream of wit and wisdom from 

 all present — well, to say the least, it 

 was one of those "nights." The army 

 of ball throwers were lined up under 

 two captains. Fenrich and Chadwick, 

 and each contestant was emphatically 

 advised on the best methods of deliv- 

 ering the spheroids. Chadwick was

We learn from P. Ouwerkerk, rep- 

 resenting Association Flora of Bos- 

 koop, that Azalea mollis is very si 

 in Holland on account of the dry sum- 

 mer and more have been sold than can 

 ed for tli is fall. A few years 

 ago there were so many Azalea mollis 

 grown in Holland and in Belgium that 

 the prices came down so low that many 

 of the giowers reduced their stock for 

 outplanting so that they will continue 

 to be scarce for a few years to come.
