THE PULVERIZED MANURE CO., 33 Union Stock Yards, CHICAGO 



was run down by an automobile on the 

 evening of October 15, while riding 

 home on his bicycle, and died from m- 

 juiies received. The deceased, who 

 was well and favorably known in flo- 

 rists' circles, was 50 years of age. He 

 came to America from Ireland over 

 thirty years ago. After working at 

 Becker's Conservatories in Cambridge 

 for twenty-nine years, he entered the 

 employ of the H. A. Ryan Co. about 

 two years ago. He leaves a widow. 

 General regret is felt at his untimely 

 death. At the funeral services, Octo- 

 ber 18, there was a large attendance, 

 including many in the trade. There 

 were numerous beautiful floral tributes. 



William P. Rich and Albert C. Bur- 

 rage attended a meeting in New York 

 city, October 18, in connection with 

 the efforts being made to secure a 

 modification of Quarantine No. 37. 



The Harold A. Eyan Co., Mount Au- 

 burn, grows Violet Governor Herrick 

 successfully. It has a short stem and 

 is lacking in odor, but blooms freely 

 and is of a fine color. For funeral work 

 Mr. Ryan finds it quite useful. Prac- 

 tically all other violet growers here 

 handle Princess of Wales, but it does 

 not bloom so freely as it did some years 



ago. 



The William W. Edgar Co. is cutting 

 a handsome lot of chrysanthemums, 

 Oconto and Halliday. The company 

 has about completed potting Dutch 

 bulbs and has a fine lot of cyclamens 

 and begonias. 



Charles S. Strout, of Biddeford, Me., 

 was in town October 16 on his way 

 home from Indianapolis. Mr. Strout en- 

 joyed the F. T. D. convention and in- 

 cidentally made large sales of his new 

 yellow carnation, Maine Sunshine. 



John L. Russell, of the Joseph Breck 

 & Sons Corporation, has returned from 

 a business trip to Lansing, Mich. 



C. B. McDonald, for some years in 

 charge of the vegetable seed depart- 

 ment of the T. J. Grey Co., is now with 

 the Cadwell & Jones Co., Hartford, 

 Conn.

Leonard Barron, of Qarden City, N. 

 Y., was in town October 15 and 16. 



We have enjoyed magnificent weath- 

 er with high temperatures so far in 

 October and flower gardens are as yet 

 unscathed by frost. The ground is dis- 

 tressingly dry, as rainfall has been 

 practically nil for many weeks. A kill- 

 ing frost and copious rains would be 

 welcomed by those who wish to do 

 fall planting. 



The chrysanthemum, fruit and vegeta- 

 ble show will be held at Horticultural 

 hall, November 6 and 7. Orchids will 

 again be a notable feature. 



Axel Magnuson, of Manchester, 

 Mass., and Andrew Christensen, of 

 Stoneham, have returned from Euro- 

 pean trips. Each had a most enjoy- 

 able and profitable visit.
