interesting fact that the fancy chrysan- 

 themums are selling while the ordinary 

 grades are not. Fancy dahlias at $4 to 

 $6 J)er hundred are better value than 

 low-grade mums at $8 to $12.50 per hun- 

 dred. Buyers take the dahlias in pref- 

 erence to ordinary mums at the begin- 

 ning-of-the-season prices and refuse to 

 look at carnations at all. Pompons have 

 arrived. As in the case of their bigger 

 sisters, pink is the color least seen in 

 the earlies. 



Beauties are still holding their own. 

 Cattleyas have declined to 50 and 75 

 cents. Roses have fared better than 

 carnations. Double and single cosmos 

 make a big splash in a little way. 



Andalusia. 



Henry F. Michell had a definite idea 

 when he and his brother bought their 

 farm at Andalusia. He meant to make 

 it a show place. Of course he meant to 

 grow seeds and plants and perennials, 

 but first and foremost he meant to have 

 a show place. "We are great adver- 

 tisers," Mr. Michell remarked, and it 

 is certainly true. 



The advertising value of the Michell 

 place at Andalusia lies in its bordering 

 the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail- 

 road's New York division. Mr. Michell 

 thinks that the people who deal writh 

 his house go to and fro on this division. 

 The way that full advantage has been 

 taken of this position is admirable. 

 The plan is bold and striking. It has 

 been most effectively carried out. The

am: 



canna has been chosen as the best deco- 

 rative plant. It has been planted in 

 solid colors in immense beds of a single 

 variety. These beds are set in a 

 straight line that runs parallel to the 

 railroad tracks on a great field of 

 velvety green lawn. To relieve the ap- 

 pearance of a set design, beds of ever- 

 greens, Colorado blue spruce and retinis- 

 poras, are placed between the beds of 

 cannas in a row running in a straight 

 line a little farther back, but parallel 

 to them. This relieves the stiffness. 

 The canna line of beds and the ever- 

 green line are varied by one or two 

 beds of Salvia Zurich. The whole front 

 appears at a distance like a blaze of 

 color. Then on closer inspection the 

 scarlets and golds stand out on the 

 green, with the dark evergreens adding 

 intensity — a grand sight. 



The varieties of cannas are all old, 

 tried friends — King Humbert, Wyom- 

 ing, Hungaria, Yellow King Humbert, 



made more striking by its pronounced 

 tendency to revert. President is a new 

 sort of rare promise. Manager A. E. 

 Burton pointed out a series of twenty- 

 five frames ranging from 87 to 130 feet 

 in length, built of reinforced 8-inch con- 

 crete, nearly finished. Mr. Burton said 

 the salvia seed crop just being har- 

 vested was fine, adding that they had 

 to stop selling hydrangeas, due prob- 

 ably to the alertness of The Review 

 readers to snap up good things. 



Flower Week. 



Flower week closed Saturday evening, 

 October 18. It was well supported 

 throughout the city. Signs were dis- 

 played, posters nailed up, stickers pmt 

 on and, best of all, the stores were, in 

 the main, beautifully decorated. Great 

 credit ig gladly given to the retailers, 

 who made their shops exceedingly at- 

 tractive by their handsome displays. 

 This is a splendid beginning. Continue
