THAT the virtues as well as the proverbial sins of a father may be visited upon 

 his sons "even unto the third generation" is not disputed when the name of 

 Winthrop H. Thurlow is mentioned. For Mr. Thurlow's grandfather, wlio estab-

 expert grower; his son, T. C. Thurlow, was the same, and now Winthrop and his 

 brother George, grandsons of tlie founder, sliow wliat inheritance will do. Mr. 

 Thurlow's name is known to the trade in all parts of the country, Ijocause of the 

 Thurlow j.eonies, irises and ])hl()xes. He is ])roniinent in the affairs of the 

 American Peony Society and is recognized as an authority on the peony.

of any value as early as September, but 

 some may be had for Christmas and 

 later. Among tliese are cinerarias, 

 seeds of which should be sown now. 

 They need a cool house. Antirrhinums 

 make nice pot plants. Sow them now 

 for blooms at Thanksgiving or Christ- 

 mas, using the intermediate rather than 

 the dwarf and tall types. Primula ma- 

 lacoides, if sown now, will flower from 

 Christmas to March. It is a good seller,
