other receptacles and were awarded a 

 silver medal. 



A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind., staged 

 a number of choice varieties grown by 

 W. N. Craig. First-class certificates 

 were awarded to the primulinus varie- 

 ties, Salmon Beauty and Peach Rose. 

 Among other varieties shown were Kun- 

 derdi Glory, Rose Glory, Marie Kunderd, 

 Edith Tiplady, Gold Drop and Vega. 

 John K. Alexander had a large display 

 of herbaceous phloxes, dahlias and gla- 

 dioli, awarded a bronze medal. B. Ham- 

 mond Tracy received honorable mention 

 for a fine bank of Gladiolus primulinus 

 hybrids. Eugene N. Fischer, Jamaica 

 Plain, had some excellent seedlings. The 

 variety Mrs. Frederick C. Peters re- 

 ceived a first-class certificate, and 

 Henry C. Goehl and Primulinus Red 

 Start, a fine scarlet, honorable mention. 

 C. W. Brown, Ashland, had many fine 

 seedlings, No. 1730 D and 1716 D re- 

 ceiving honorable mention. S. E. Spen- 

 cer received a similar award for No. 102 

 and No. 685. Other contributors of 

 gladioli were H. W. Hayes, Thomas M. 

 Proctor, A. L. Stephen, W. N. Craig, 

 E. M. Powers and E. M. Brewer. 



For six varieties of gladioli, white, 

 A. L. Stephen was first; also for six 

 varieties of pink, six varieties of laven- 

 der and six varieties of yellow. W. N. 

 Craig was first and second for six primu- 

 linus and second for six yellow varie- 

 ties. E. M. Brewer had the best new 

 seedling. George N. Smith was first for 

 twelve varieties of herbaceous phlox 

 and for six gladiolus spikes of one 

 variety. A feature of the show was the 

 increasing preponderance of primu- 

 linus forms of gladioli. These appeared 

 to attract visitors far more than the 

 larger and stiffer-flowered gaudavensis 

 and other types. There were excellent 

 displays of fruits and vegetables. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Cameron, who has served as 

 superintendent at the Harvard Botanical 

 Gardens for exactly thirty-one years 

 this week, leaves August 15 to accept a 

 position as superintendent of the estate 

 of Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, located 

 in Topsfield, Mass. The estate covers 

 2,500 acres and has extensive gardens,

There was a large attendance, includ- 

 ing many of his old friends in the 

 trade, at the funeral of Robert Mont- 

 gomery August 7. There were numerous 

 beautiful floral tokens, among them re- 

 membrances from the Boston Coopera- 

 tive Flower Market, Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club of Boston and other organi- 

 zations of which the deceased was a 

 member. The business in Natick, estab- 

 lished thirty years ago, will be con- 

 tinued by his son, Alexander Mont- 

 gomery. 



There has been, during the last few 

 days, a decided increase in interest in 

 the S. A. F. Detroit convention and it 

 looks as if a party of fifteen or twenty 

 would go from Boston and vicinity. The 

 majoritv will stop over a day in Buf- 

 falo, taking the night boat for Detroit.

last few days. This has particularly in- 

 convenienced the florists in towns near- 

 by, to which steam railroad service has 

 been all but eliminated. Coming at the 

 dull season, the loss to florists is small 

 and, as public feeling is decidedly hos- 

 tile to the nu'ii, it is not believed that 

 the strike will be of long duration. 

 Those i)lanning to go to Detroit are a 

 little worried at the present outlook.
