work-a-day topics, mention of the Ben 

 Davis apple occasioning some of the 

 liveliest exchanges of personal opinion, 

 publishable and otherwise.

 Tex.; secretary, John Craig, Ithaca, N. 

 Y. ; treasurer, L. B. Taft, Agricultural 

 College, Mich. 



Following the convention sixty-two of 

 the members left on a four days' tour

 Kansas City Southern and Frisco rail- 

 roads. 



CEMETERY CONVENTION. 



The nineteenth annual convention of 

 the American Association of Cemetery 

 Superintendents, held at Washington, 

 D. C, September 19 to 22, was the most 

 successful in the history of the organiza- 

 tion. The attendance was 160, from all 

 parts of the United States. There was a 

 program of valuable papers and discus- 

 sions on technical and landscape topics, 

 sessions being held at the local ceme- 

 teries. Officers were elected as follows: 

 President, E. G. Carter, Oakwoods, Chi- 

 cago; vice-president, J. C. Kline, Wood- 

 lawn, Dayton, Ohio; secretary-treasurer, 

 Bellett Lawson, Paxtang, Pa. It was 

 decided to meet at Detroit next year. 

 The social features were especially nu- 

 merous, including a trip to Mt. Vernon 

 and much sight-seeing. On the closing 

 day a large party accepted an invitation 

 to visit the cemeteries of Baltimore. 



BABY RAMBLER FINE BEDDER. 



The Baby Rambler rose has been seen 

 in the market throughout the season and 

 quite recently I saw some well flowered 

 plants in pots, says a writer in the Hor- 

 ticultural Advertiser. It may not sus- 

 tain very high prices, yet it will undoubt- 

 edly remain a favorite, and take its place 

 among the most useful of market plants. 

 It is not only as a pot plant that it is 

 useful ; for bedding it is one of the most 

 continuous bloomers we have. I recently 

 saw a large bed in the open ground at 

 H. B. May's, where it was flowering most 

 profusely, and was told that it had been 

 equally gay for many weeks past. No 

 sooner has one crop of bloom passed than 

 it is succeeded by another, which is pro- 

 duced from new shoots thrown up from 

 the base. It cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended as a bedding rose. 



A PITTSBURG PARK. 



West End park is a spot known only 

 to the residents of the West End section 

 of Pittsburg. When it was first taken 

 for park purposes, it was ridiculed by the 

 public press and everyone else who had

seen the bald knob, standing over 300 

 feet above the city, comprising about 

 nineteen acres, covered with rocks and 

 a stiff red clay, which you cannot dig 

 at all when it is dry, and when wet, it 

 comes up in clods. A grand transfor- 

 mation has taken place. There is not a 

 yard of level ground in the whole park, 

 excepting on the walks, which are woven 

 in and out in such an enchanting way 

 that after you get there you forget you 

 are still climbing a hill.

 scraping out spots for carpet beds or
