Mrs. Wm. F. McKissick, wife of the 

 popular manager of the local branch of 

 the Leo Niessen Co., is on a visit to 

 relatives in Philadelphia. 



Joseph Merritt has finished his new 

 200-foot carnation house. 



The annual summer meeting of the 

 Maryland Horticultural Society was 

 held at the Maryland Agricultural Col- 

 lege Saturday, May 30. There were 

 many events of interest on the pro- 

 gram, among them being an address by 

 President Robert L. Graham, a well 

 known member of the local trade. Ow- 

 ing to this meeting being held on 

 Memorial day, when most of the florists 

 are busy, there was not the number of 

 members present that would have been 

 there if it had been on other than a 

 busy day. An enjoyable time was 

 spent, however, by those who found 

 time to attend. It has been decided to 

 hold the annual exhibition of flowers 

 and fruits at the Fifth Regiment ar- 

 mory, Baltimore, November 17 to 21, 

 inclusive. A large number of valuable 

 prizes are being offered. Those who 

 have not received a premium list may 

 secure one by applying to Geo. Mor- 

 rison, P. O. Station D, Baltimore. A 

 much larger space will be devoted to 

 flowers this year than on former occa- 

 sions, and it is to be hoped it will be 

 well filled. Prizes for specimen chrys- 

 anthemum plants are being offered, and 

 those growers who contemplate grow- 

 ing for this class of plants are assured 

 of fair returns for their efforts. There 

 have been few of these seen in late 

 years, and it is hoped to reawaken an 

 interest in these showy plants, which 

 are a triumph of the growers' art.

GREAT FALLS, MONT. 



The Electric City Conservatory re- 

 ports an increase of thirty-three and a 

 third per cent in Memorial day sales 

 over those of 1913. These figures were 

 obtained from five days' actual sales, 

 from May 25 to May 30, of each year. 

 Both plants and cut flowers were com- 

 pletely cleaned up and some artificial 

 goods were sold after the flower supply 

 was exhausted. The weather was favor- 

 able, Memorial day itself being a per-
