If you have any flowers worth giving. 

 Stick tlicm under my nostrils today; 



Tlie smell of one bud while I'm living 

 Knocks the spots off the finest bouquet 



That you ut uiy corpse may be slinging 

 When you find I have passed on my way. 



"This is sentiment practically ex- 

 pressed," said George B. Cannon, of the 

 Quality Flower Shop, Stamford, Conn., 

 who was the manager of the exhibition 

 given by the Stamford Horticultural 

 Society, November 5 to 7. Benjamin 

 Hammond, of Beacon, N. Y., officiated 

 as one of the judges in the exhibition 

 and, in commenting on both the floral 

 and vegetable exhibits, said he saw a 

 decided advancement, rather than a 

 decline, in the quality of production 

 during the last few years. He urged 

 that the exhibition be made an annual 



event.

Valentin Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, 

 N. Y., held their usual chrysanthemum 

 show, and their greenhouses and store 

 were filled with a fine quality of trained 

 specimens and single blooms of the pop- 

 ular varieties. A traveler who had just 

 visited the annual show at Tuxedo Park 

 felt like handing the palm to the Bur- 

 gevins, as all the exhibitors at Tuxedo 

 Park were amateurs with professional 

 gardeners. "In any case," observed 

 George Burgevin, "it is publicity and 

 display which tend to boost business."

Conrad C. Gindra, Poughkeepsie, N. 

 Y., finds much enthusiasm among the 

 college girls, who are his leading pa- 

 trons. The usual inauguration of au- 

 tumn's queen was held and, from the 

 way business has begun, a profitable 

 winter seems in sight.

The veteran head of the Saltford 

 Flower Shop, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is, as 

 usual, justly proud of the fine stock pro- 

 duced. "Talk is cheap," said Mr. Salt- 

 ford, "but if one has not the goods and 

 a good business, it is so much vapor."

Henry Hansen, Catskill, N. Y., ob- 

 served that his business is regular all 

 the year. The resort trade in the sum- 

 mer helps him when business is inclined 



to be dull.

"Has it ever occurred to you," said 

 Willis S. Pino, Providence, K. I., "that 

 the decrease in the number of birds may 

 be due to their continually absorbing 

 poison through eating foliage which has 

 been sprayed with poisonous insecticides, 

 and that the trade can render a good 

 service in recommending non-poisonous 



material f"

Warburton's, Fall River, Mass., in-

 flower show which was appreciated by
