the choicest creations of the hybridiz- 

 er's art. There are improvements in 

 the other types, but none is so marked 

 as that in the cactus dahlia. Much of 

 the credit for the fine showing made 

 in dahlia fields is diie to the improved 

 methods of cultivation. Only the grow- 

 ers can/ tell what faithful care has been 

 bestowed on the dahlias. To the vis- 

 itor it appeared as though cultivate, 

 cultivate, cultivate, were the three 

 watchwords to success. It is pretty 

 generally recognized at Riverview that 

 dahlias grown from tubers make strong- 

 er plants than those grown from cut- 

 tings. Propagation from cuttings is a 

 necessity in new varieties or in those 

 that demand a rapid increase in the 

 stock. It is also recognized that to 

 keep a standard variety up to the 

 mark it is absolutely necessary to dis- 

 card all those plants that show a tend- 

 ency to retrograde. 



Various Notes. :z., 



Charles H. Grakelow was the only 

 retail florist from this city who-^ttend- 

 ed the F. T. D. convention in tTetroit. 

 Mr. Grakelow went to Detroit expressly 

 for the convention and felt fully repaid 

 for the time devoted to the meeting. 

 He said the convention was the best 

 he had ever attended, full of live busi- 

 ness ideas that were invaluable to him. 



Joseph Meehan has gone to St. Pe- 

 tersburg, Fla., for the winter, by his 

 physician's orders. Mr. Meehan 's" won- 

 derful botanical knowledge will find a 

 new and delightful field of research in 

 the sunny south. 



William E. Earnshaw, sales manager 

 for the Floral Nurseries, says that the 

 business done at the opening of the 

 new salesroom exceeded expectations. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons have expe- 

 rienced increased business at the Belle- 

 vue-Stratford. There are no large af- 

 fairs at present.

 turn with handle gives one wrap on Festooning. Does
