ATLANTA, GA. 



How deceitful the elements can be! 

 A warm, moist January had awakened 

 the dormant life in all growing things, 

 and one had visions of springtime in 

 the old gardens of the south. Then, 

 with barely a half -hour's notice, a 

 frigid wave arrived and in less than 

 two hours sent the temperature tum- 

 bling from 50 down to 8 degrees above 

 zero. 



It was not to be expected that out- 

 door stock would survive so severe a 

 chill. A check of the damage done 

 showed that nearly all shrubbery and 

 bulbs were destroyed. Some of the flo- 

 rists lost practically all their stock. 



Inasmuch as roses and many other 

 kinds of plants must be replanted, the 

 growers of young stock should reap a 

 good business. The producers are work- 

 ing hard and have good stock to offer. 

 There is a scarcity of some plants. Car- 



nations now are in abundance, follow- 

 ing a winter of inadequate supplies. 



The florists here note with regret the 

 destruction of greenhouses at Newcastle, 

 Ind., by a tornado. Such things are 

 most discouraging to those who are 

 striving hard to win success in the 

 flower business. 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



The regular meeting of the Newport 

 Horticultural Society, which was held 

 last week, was a busy session because of 

 the diversity of topics considered. The 

 suggestion made by citizens that the so- 

 ciety obtain a field and give information 

 relative to planting to children, was 

 placed before the meeting, but nothing 

 definite beyond the appointment of a 

 committee was done. A discussion rela- 

 tive to the ultimatum of laborers and as- 

 sistant gardeners for a raise in pay and 

 shorter hours, resulted in various opin- 

 ions being expressed. The society took

no definite action. President John B. 

 Urquhart and William MacKay, who at- 

 tended the Davey convention at Kent, 

 O., made an interesting and instructive 

 report. Announcement was made that 

 ten more special prizes have been re- 

 ceived for the fall show, principally 

 from growers, one of them for $150. 

 The show will be held in the Convention 

 hall, Newport Beach, September 5 to 7.
