gus is also in the doldrums. A spell of 

 clearer and cooler weather is needed to 

 galvanize business into activity. 



Various Notes. 



The Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club will 

 hold a field day at North Abington Sat- 

 urday afternoon, August 28, and will 

 inspect the nurseries of Littlefield & 

 Wyman and of W. H. Wyman, of the 

 Bay State Nurseries. For those not 

 going by automobiles a train leaves 

 South Station at 1 :34. The running time 

 to North Abington is only thirty min- 

 utes and several hundreds of acres of 

 splendid trees, shrubs, perennials, etc., 

 await inspection. W. H. Wyman has 

 kindly volunteered to send motor trucks 

 to haul around those who come on the 

 steam railroad. A large attendance is 

 hoped for. 



He^an H. Bartsch and W. E. Cahill 

 madethe trip to the Canadian conven- 

 tion at Hamilton by automobile and later 

 went on to the S. A. F. convention at 

 Cleveland. Others going from here are 

 S. J. Goddard, E. A. Peirce; W. D. How- 

 ard, by automobile; L. J. Eeuter, and 

 Thomas Eoland. The extreme heat has 

 frightened some from attempting a jour- 

 ney inland. 



F. E. Palmer and Miss Ella Palmer are 

 cainping out on the White mountains, 

 N. H., for three weeks. Mr. Palmer's 

 bookkeeper, who was dangerously in- 

 jured by an automobile and who lay 

 unconscious for several weeks, is im- 

 proving. 



J. S. Manter, of the Flower Exchange, 

 left for Farmington, Me., August 14 for 

 his annual vacation. 



William Penn, who is in charge at 

 Penn's, reports a satisfactory volume of 

 business for such torrid weather. 



Mr. Saunders, of the Symphony 

 Flower Store, on Huntington avenue, has 

 just joined the F. T. D. Great improve- 

 ments have been made in the store and 

 business is coming their way quite sat- 

 isfactorily. 



Professor C. S. Sargent is on the sick 

 list. He returned from a visit to Maine 

 this week and had to be taken from the 

 train at South Station in an ambulance, 

 as he had lost all use of his legs, and 

 he still remains in bed. His many 

 friends trust that he will have a speedy 

 recovery. 



Letters received from E. H. Wilson 

 indicate that he is making a tour of 

 points of horticultural interest in Great 

 Britain ere leaving on his three years' 

 tour of the world. 



W. N. Craig is spending a few days at 

 Bar Harbor and Dark Harbor, Me., with 

 his wife. 



A good many visitors came here for 

 the big gladiolus show in spite of the 

 heat and humidity. The gladiolus ipe- 

 cialists surely are a wide-awake and 

 enthusiastic lot. Some who were noted 

 are: W. A. Sperling, New York; Madi- 

 son C. Cooper, Calcium, N. Y.; T. A. 

 Havemeyer and Albert Lahodney, Brook- 

 ville, L. I.; Professor A. C. Beal, Ithaca, 

 N. Y.; A. Gilchrist, West Toronto, Ont.; 

 H. E. Meader, Dover, N. H., and many 

 others. 



The exhibition of children's garden 

 products at Horticultural hall comes 

 September 4 and 5 and promises to be 

 an unusually large one. W. N. C.
