Locust Farm. 



It was a glorious afternoon of the 

 end of September, when sun and sky 

 and air were all so perfect that you 

 wondered whether there is any season 

 of the year like the fall. The party 

 went by car from Kiverton to Henry A. 

 Drcer's Locust Farm, a few short miles 

 away, for even newspaper men motor 

 nowadays — when they are with their 

 swell friends. There were three souls 

 all told— that is the way it is put in 



the stories of the sea; they were George 

 A. Strohlein, who is as well known in 

 horticultural circles abroad as he is 

 at home; James C. Clark, a master in 

 the knowledge of dahlias and of ferns, 

 and Phil.

 is a fine purple. The whites narrow 

 down to three varieties for the best 

 early, mid-season and late; they ard 

 Von Lassburg, Mrs. Jenkins and Jeanne 

 d'Arc. Rynstrom, an improved Pan- 

 theon, is of the color of a Paul 

 Neyron rose, a fine recent introduction. 

 Next came R. P. Struthers, an older 

 variety of bright carmine color with 

 claret-red eye. Then came Elizabeth 

 Campbell, a salmon queen among 

 phloxes, a variety of rare beauty. An- 

 tonin Mercie is a good old color of lav- 

 ender shade. Selma is another good 

 older variety, a pale rose in color. Sie- 

 bold is a bright red, an improved Co-
