The Rcafets' Review 



Sdftxmbib 9, 1915. 



HYDRANGEAS 



Our Hydrangeas are all grown in the open ground daring the summer, where they make a very luxurious 

 growth, producing heavy heads. They are potted up in August and will be thoroughly rootbound in 

 October. They are extra heavy this season and will not only produce flowers from the shoots but also 

 from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

Boston and Chicago, nowhere have I 

 Been displays which could equal the 

 peony show at this meeting. The large 

 building, including halls and stairways, 

 was filled with the flowers. Though 

 w© -can gfTow as good peony roots in 

 my state, Nebraska^ as can be produced 

 anywhere, I am willing to admit that 

 Minnesota can beat the world on peony 

 blooms. Mr. Ruff, of St. Paul, had 175 

 of the choicest varieties on exhibition 

 and other progressive growers were in 

 evidence. The Brands made a display 

 of their best. One of their varieties 

 was an enormous pink, like a glorified 

 eabbage. They were selling it at $15 

 per root and could hardly supply the 

 demand. Another immense one, a deep 

 red, was going at the same price. 



In Duluth at the time of my visit, 

 most of the peonies were not in bloom. 

 It appeared likely that they would not 

 be before the middle of July and would 

 continue to bloom till the first part o£ 

 August. I visited several gardens and 

 saw the plants forming enormous buds, 

 ready to open into the finest blooms the 

 «un ever shone upon. Thus these peony 

 gardens are real cold storage affairs, 

 keeping fresh blooms in all their 

 splendor a long time. 



It is no stretch of imagination to 

 Bay that in a few years Duluth will 

 %>e sending its magnificent peonies to 

 the Twin Cities and even to Chicago, 

 where they will arrive in all their fresh- 

 ness and beauty. The leading citizens 

 of Duluth are awake to their opportuni- 

 ties. The city is becoming a summer 

 resort. Even in late June and early 

 July, 1,000 visitors per day were regis- 

 tering at the hotels. Personally, I had 

 a cordial reception. Judge Cutting, of 

 the Municipal court and an enthusiast 

 on flowers, had the Duluth Herald pub- 

 lish the article concerning my work 

 which The Review so kindly gave to 

 its readers in the issue of June 24. The 

 Herald reproduced both the article and 

 the portrait. So the doors flew open 

 for me and hearty handshakes were 

 given, followed by delightful automo- 

 bile rides. 



I predict that five years from now 

 Duluth will have the most charming 

 flower gardens to be seen in many miles. 

 When the present enthusiasm reaches 

 high tide you will see a beautiful city, 

 with its natural parks and matchless 

 gardens, giving cordial welcome to its 

 thousands of delighted visitors.
