BREEDERS' CONVENTION. 



The American Breeders' Association 

 held a very enthusiastic meeting at 

 Champaign, III., on February 1 and 2. 

 All the large live stock interests were rep- 

 resented and many agricultural organ- 

 izations, the corn breeders being partic- 

 ularly well in evidence. The florists' 

 industry was represented by C. W. Ward, 

 Df Queens, L. I., who delivered his illus- 

 trated address on the hybridization of 

 the carnation. Luther Burbank sent a 

 paper, and so did H, H. Groff, of Sim- 

 coe, Ont. 



CORRUGATED GLASS. 



I would like to know what the broth- 

 ers think of corrugated glass for green- 

 houses. I want the practical part, not 

 the theoretical; I can theorize myself. 

 I was in one house whare it was used 

 and it was decidedly the lightest house 

 in a cloudy day. But is this diffused 

 light as beneficial as the direct light for 

 cut lowers and other stuff. Will some 

 one' give his experiencs? S. C. T. 



Austin, Tex. — H, V. Fox, the well 

 known florist and landscape gardener, 

 died January 31, aged 62 years. 



Des Moines, Ia. — The thermometer 

 downtown registered 25 degrees below 

 zero last week and out on the hills, where 

 the greenhouses are, 28 to 30 degrees 

 below.
