MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



"There's many a dark and stormy 

 morning that turns into a bright 

 ■day," said Herman Bartsch, of the 

 "W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, Mass., 

 adding, as he pointed to a pile of new 

 order books, "we are prepared, not 

 •only for the Easter rush, but for a con- 

 tinuous rush afterwards. ' ' Frank Edgar 

 has plans for a large increase of glass 

 area. The business warrants expansion, 

 but the high cost of material calls for 

 cautious progress.

Prof. David Lumsden, of the depart- 

 ment of floriculture at Cornell Univer- 

 sity, Ithaca, N. Y., has a class of sixty 

 «mbryo florists, girls and boys, and 

 hopes to send out some first-class mate- 

 rial at an early date. 



• • • • 

 Commenting in tones of highest ad- 

 miration of our botanical gardens, Alex- 

 ander Simpson, superintendent of the 

 department of botany at Toronto Uni- 

 versity, observed that it is the aim of 

 the Canadian authorities to create a 

 ^rden patterned on the lines of those 

 at Kew and Harvard, combining the 

 two and endeavoring to improve upon 

 both. He is much pleased with the re- 

 ception given him during his visit to 

 the American gardens. 



• • • • 



Amid the magnificent collection of 



plants exhibited at the Boston flower 

 show was a unique group of hybrid cal- 

 ceolarias, grown by F. E. Palmer, of 

 Brookline, Mass. They were something 

 out of the ordinary and catchy. 



• • • • 



H. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., Japan, was caught on the fly, so to 

 speak, en route to Europe in the inter- 

 ests of his firm. Commenting upon the 

 lily prospects, Mr. Suzuki predicted high 

 prices for another season at least and 

 said that we are partly to blame for it 

 through our eagerness to secure stocks 

 at first hand, which has aroused sus- 

 picion among the Japanese farmers that 

 the call for bulbs here is abnormal. He 

 said that until more cautious steps are 

 taken,,we shall continue to foot the bill 

 of inflated prices. 



• • • • 



C. W. Scott, of the Yokohama Nurs- 

 ery Co., is working up a fine stock of 

 Japanese cherries and the like, at his 

 farm on the Hudson, where the trees are 

 found to be perfectly hardy. 



• • • • 



First impressions are the strongest 

 and the guests who heard Frank W. 

 Dunlop, of Toronto, Ont., respond to the 

 toast of Canadian florists at the ban- 

 quet given by the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society during the flower show 

 at Boston agree that this honored sire 

 possesses a worthy scion. 



W. E. Cahill, of Boman J. Irwin's 

 traveling force, observed, while speed- 

 ing a party of visitors attending the 

 Boston flower show around to his vari- 

 ous sources of supplies, that "the 

 mileage cost is about even, but with my 

 Buick I can cover almost one-half more 

 territory in a given time; prestige and 

 publicity, ' ' added the wide-awake Billy, 

 "beyond computation."

Henry Schrade, of Saratoga Springs, 

 N. Y., suffered a loss when a part of 

 a house was crushed in by an avalanche 

 of snow from a roof. Much stock was 

 lost, but some compensation is seen in 

 an exceptionally large amount of stock, 

 which will sell at Easter, according to 

 Henry Schrade, an interested visitor at 

 the shows and recently returned from 

 Europe. W. M. 



Flint, Mich.— In The Eeview of 

 March 25, page 136, it was stated that 

 the Hasselbring brothers, who trade as 

 Hasselbring, Florist, "have retailed only 

 at the greenhouses. ' ' This was in error, 

 as the firm owns a store building in the 

 heart of the business district and has 

 had a retail establishment in the center 

 of the city for many years. The new 

 store in the Durant Hotel building is 

 their second store. The firm is building 

 up a large telegraph delivery business, 

 in and out.
