nal for New York at 2 p. in. August 

 17. From New York the party will 

 take the Metropolitan boat, which 

 leaves at 5 p. m. and arrives in Bos- 

 ton the next morning. All the large 

 supply, plant and seed houses will have 

 extensive exhibits that will maintain 

 this city's prestige as a great horti- 

 cultural center. The round trip will 

 cost $12; state rooms will be extra, 

 from $1 to $2 each way. 



Tbe Florex Gardens. 



The excellent results after the her- 

 culean efforts expended on the big 

 house represent only part of the sea- 

 sou's progress at^orth Wales. A new 

 carnation house, begun in February and 

 completed in May, is filled with a 

 promising lot of young plants. They 

 are mostly standard varieties, with the 

 addition of Ruth, their own seedling. 

 -Another house is being lengthened with 

 'ifl additional 130 feet, to double its 

 present capacity. Two new horizontal 

 ■■^tnrn tubular boilers have been added. 



a manure tank and a water heating sys- 

 tem. A pretty good record for one sea- 

 son. The carnation plants are divided 

 between indoors and the field. Those 

 grown indoors are set close together in 

 the benches. The new house planted 

 from these benches is filled with double 

 rows. Every other row will be lifted 

 when the next house is ready for plant- 

 ing. Indoor culture is greatly preferred 

 to outdoor. 



Prince d 'Arenberg, Mrs. George 

 Shawyer and Mavourneen have been 

 added to the rose list. Mavourneen is 

 a sport from Killarney, an even, deep 

 pink, considered beautiful by many ex- 

 pert judges. Sweet peas, snapdragons 

 and Asparagus plumosus are all grown 

 in quantity proportionate to the size 

 of the place. The asparagus is in par- 

 ticularly fine shape. A bed of outdoor 

 sweet peas bore freely throughout June 

 and still is doing well. The dairy, run 

 as an adjunct to the greenhouses for 

 the sake of the manure, is steadily 

 progressing. There are thirty-one Hol- 



stein cows and heifers. Milk is shipped 

 to Philadelphia. A silo has been built 

 and large crops of hay and oats have 

 been raised for the cows and horses. 

 Conditions generally denote activity. 



Various Notes. 



.T. Otto Thilow spoke on "Flowers" 

 before the combined garden clubs of 

 Baltimore at Blue Ridge, July 29. 



Edward A. Stroud has combined the 

 Overbrook Nurseries with the Strafford 

 Flower Farm, transferring the former to 

 Strafford, Pa. 



George E. Campbell is growing Rich- 

 mond, Maryland, Sunburst and Cecile 

 Brunner roses on his place at Flour- 

 town. Mr. Campbell is filling the empty 

 space between his houses with the idea 

 of making his greenhouses into open 

 ranges. 



Mrs. Sarah I. Smith has her place at 

 Secane in excellent condition. The car- 

 nations and other stock look well. Sev- 

 eral improvements have been made.
