on this occasion, in fact their paths 

 sometimes cross, still they always get on 

 well together, like David and Jonathan 

 of old. 



It so happened that Jonathan was 

 first at the gate of the early Oxford ac- 

 commodation at Broad street station. 

 Jonathan likes to be first, but when the 

 gate closed and he had to board the 

 train without David his anxiety was 

 awakened. A careful search through the 

 train showed that David had not slipped 

 across the platform from an inbound 

 train and Jonathan was about to leave 

 the train at West Philadelphia when 

 luckily for my story David appeared 

 calm and unmoved, merely remarking as 

 he boarded the Oxford train that his 

 local tram was late eight minutes. 



The pair left the train at West 

 Grove, where they were met by a team 



from the Conard & Jones Co. that quick- 

 ly brought them up the new Telford road 

 to the company's ofSces where President 

 Alfred F. Conard and Secretary Robert 

 Pyle extended a hearty greeting. An- 

 other eighth of a mile and the visitors 

 have left the front seats of their con- 

 veyance and are shaking hands with An- 

 toine Wintzer, in the big packing-room 

 where the orders that go out all over 

 the world are packed. 



David explained that they wanted to 

 see as many places as possible, so they 

 would see the houses and cannas as 

 quickly as possible, but Mr. Wintzer 

 was so earnest in his wish that they 

 should see the whole place, and so cor- 

 dial in his invitation to dine with him 

 at his home, that it was voted churlish 

 to decline and off the trio started 

 through the houses. 



The roses planted out for propagation 

 embrace nearly all the well known hybrid 

 teas and teas, besides a number of climb- 

 ers, so called semi-climbers, hybrids, 

 polyanthas, etc., of the present and of 

 the past. The latest novelties of the 

 day, French, German and American, may 

 be found side by side with old favorites 

 now hard to find elsewhere. Of the new- 

 er sorts Etoile de France is looking 

 well. Richmond and R. O. English are 

 not. Probably they will improve under 

 the system of treatment which from now 

 on produces such excellent growth.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. 



During the absence of a regular ex- 

 hibit by the florists of the state, the 

 floral department at the state fair in 

 Pueblo has become the one important 

 show in which the trade exhibits for 

 prizes and advertising. The show held 

 September 11 to 15 was the most com- 

 plete in several years and from present 

 prospects there will be a number of en- 

 tries from outside next year. 



The plant exhibit was especially good, 

 owing to the efforts of John Sked, of 

 the Park Floral Co., of Denver, who 

 came in with some very fine palms and 

 specimen plants of Nephrolepis Elegan- 

 tissima. 



Messrs. F. Hayden and S. Lundy rep- 



resented the Pike's Peak and Colorado 

 Springs Floral companies, of this city, 

 and Afc C. Rott represented and deco- 

 rated for J. B. Braidwood and Ellis 

 Gillis decorated for the Park Floral 

 Co. 



In the plant entries the Park Floral 

 Co. won out, with J. B. Braidwood 

 second. Prizes on cut flowers were well 

 divided among the exhibitors. On 

 Wednesday the decorations were in place 

 and proved the main feature of the show. 

 Braidwood won first place with cash 

 prizes on both table and mantel, with 

 the Park Floral Co. second, the lat- 

 ter taking first on design, with Braid- 

 wood second. Bride's bouquet and deco- 

 rated basket were won by the Park Flo- 

 ral Co., with the Colorado Springs Floral 

 Co. second. A. C. R. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The third annual fall exhibition of 

 the New Bedford Horticultural Society 

 was held in City Hall September 14 

 to 16, and proved a very successful one, 

 being superior to that held in 1904. The 

 schedule comprised nearly 200 classes, 

 about sixty being devoted to dahlias. 

 These latter made a tremendous display, 

 W. C. Winter, C. Pierce, G. H. Walker 

 and other prominent growers being 

 among the exhibitors. There were a 

 large number of special prizes donated 

 by Peter Henderson & Co., H. A. Dreer 

 Co., W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Arthur 

 Cowee, J. K. Alexander, Schlegel & 

 Fottler Co. and others. — 



The officers of the society are: Wil- 

 liam Keith, president; J. C. Forbes, 

 clerk; F. C. Barrows, vice-president; W. 

 A. Gibbs, treasurer. The executive com- 

 mittee consists, in addition to the offi- 

 cers, of Dennis Shea, H. A. "Jahn, James 

 Garthley, A. J. Fish and George N. Bor- 

 den. W. N. C.
