The Sprinsrfield Floral and Fern Co. 





Springfield, Ohio 



sections of the nursery, were in perfect 

 condition. They make great windbreaks 

 and serve as nesting places for numer- 

 ous birds, which keep harmful pests in 

 subjection. A wonderful specimen of 

 Abies concolor, deep blue in color and 

 of large dimensions, excited admiration. 

 One thousand dollars has been refused 

 for this specimen. 



Refreshments were served before the 

 party left for Parker river, where a 

 bountiful dinner of steamed clams, lob- 

 sters, clam chowder, fried clams, mack- 

 erel and all the other "fixins" inciden- 

 tal toafirst-class New England shore din- 

 ner, were served, and done ample justice. 

 After all had replenished the inner man, 

 Harlan P. Kelsey said that Prof. Frank 

 A. Albaugh, of Amherst, was desirous 

 of starting a 10-week short course at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 on general nursery practices, which 

 would include propagation and every- 

 thing pertaining to the nursery busi- 

 ness. All present voiced support for 

 the project and it was heartily en- 

 dorsed by a unanimous vote. The next 

 nursery visited was that of Harlan P. 

 Kelsey, at Boxford. It is safe to say 

 that the extent of this nursery and its 

 contents were an eye-opener to many 

 present. 



Remarkably well-grown here arc 

 Abies Fraseri, Carolina hemlocks and 

 Rhododendron catawbiense. The latter, 

 of symmetrical habit, are well-named 

 compacta, being about as shapely as box- 

 woods. The great feature at this nurs- 

 ery, however, is the unusual number of 

 seedling azaleas and rhododendrons, 

 numbering hundreds of thousands, 

 which had been started in frames and 

 now are mostly lined out in nursery 

 rows. Wonderful work is being done 

 here to build up an immense stock of 

 home-grown plants of these two valu- 

 able shrubs. Mr. Kelsey served addi- 

 tional refreshments before his guests 

 left and they all voted the day one of 

 pleasure and profit. W. N. C.

The Market. 



The local wholesale market, according 

 to reports from the heads of the houses 

 that compose it, was quite dull during 

 all of last week, with an abundance of 

 seasonable stock on hand and prices 

 low, while the heads of the leading re- 

 tail establishments say that the week 

 was a dull one and funer.al work was 

 about the only thing that kept the force 

 halfway busy. The approach of the 

 fall season, which begins here with La- 

 bor day, the opening of schools and the 

 return of the summer tourists, should 

 make considerable difference in busi- 

 ness.
