 of Trade, is planning to enlarge the 

 scope and usefulness of his information 

 and collection system, and to the ex-

 year's output. 



The design for the gold medal of the 

 Horticultural Society of New York has 

 been prepared by the committee, of which 

 Patrick O'Mara is chairman, and is very 

 handsome. 



The July number of the Journal of 

 New York Botanical Garden has an ex- 

 haustive report by G. V. Nash on the 

 effects of the past winter on shrubs, 

 which is very interesting. 



R. Ulrich, the landscape architect, 

 whose wonderful handiwork many of the 

 S. A. F. conventionists will remember at

 turned from southern California, where 

 he laid out an immense park, and is now 

 located at 136 Liberty street. New York.

 many surprises in the way of new de- 

 signs and novelties. Mr. Reed will 

 leave early for St. Louis, and says his 

 display will far exceed any exhibit ever 

 made by his firm at any meeting of the 

 S. A. F. He reports sales of over 20,000 

 of his folding bells to date and the sea- 

 son is hardly begun.

 no doubt the Baltimore & Ohio will have

 with her during their stay in the city 

 and while visiting the World's Fair 

 after the convention closes.
