CROMWELIi, CONN. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., has received its 

 first shipment of Manetti and grafting 

 will be well under way in a day or so. 

 Among the new roses to be grafted in 

 quantity is Mme. Colette Martinet, a 

 yellow which produces fine stems, and 

 a flower that holds its color until the 

 blooms are full blown. It is one of 

 Pernet-Duclier'a recent introductions. A 

 fine crop of roses is coining on just 

 right for the holidays. In red roses 

 this concern grows about an equal pro- 

 portion of Hadloy, Milady and Iloosier 

 Beauty. The last-named rose is show- 

 ing up much better than last year. The 

 fault that some growers find with this 

 variety — weak neck — can be overcome 

 by growing the variety cool. Milady 

 still is a well paying rose. Carnation 

 propagation is well under way; 100,000 

 are already in the sand. H. C. Neu- 

 brand has returned from a three 

 months ' trip through the west, during 

 which time he covered about 8,000 

 miles. K. T. Beers attended the garden- 

 ers' convention at Washington, D. C, 

 last week. 



Recent visitors to Cromwell were 

 Otto Amling, of May wood. 111.; F. 

 Danker, of Albany, N, Y., and Ralph M. 

 Ward, of New York. R. C. S.
