A PLEASANT OUTING. 



James Vick 's Sons, of Rochester, N. Y., 

 entertained their employees, one hundred 

 in number, at a picnic Saturday, Aug. 11. 

 A chartered car took the excursionists 

 to Glen Haven, and after a pleasant ride 

 on Irondequoit bay, landed at Newport. 

 The hotel was open for all, and dancing, 

 sports, etc., occupied the time until din- 

 ner. This waa served up in epicurean 

 style, and was relished by the crowd. 

 More games and sports and launch rides 

 on the clear, bright water of the bay 

 followed. Among the most notable of 

 the guests were Joseph Fuller, called 

 Uncle Joe by those who know him well 

 and admire him most, and Fred Fisher, 

 two of the veteran seedsmen of this part 

 of the country and of America. Both 

 have been with Vick's house since its 

 inception. Mr. Fuller superintends the 

 flower seed department, and what Fred 

 Fisher doesn't know about asters would 

 not. take long to tell. 



No more ideal spot could have been 

 chosen for an outing. The weather was 

 perfect and the scenery magnificent. 

 Close to the heart of nature, and with 

 all other necessary combinations, the 

 folks had a good time, for which Messrs. 

 Vick, ■ King and Fonda were largely 

 responsible. 



SWEET PEAS MIXING. 



Watkins & Simpson, the well-known 

 sweet pea specialists of London, Eng- 

 land, write as follows: 



"We notice a paragraph in the Re- 

 view of July 26 headed 'Sweet Peas 

 Mixing.' One of your clients is Bot 

 quite clear as to whether sweet peas of 

 different colors grown altogether get 

 inoculated. We think we might endeavor 

 to explain to him through your columns 

 that sweet pea flowers, as soon as they 

 are fully open, have been already fer- 

 tilized by their own pollen, and there 

 is no likelihood of the bees or other 

 insects having brought in foreign pol- 

 len. As all sweet pea hybridizers know,

 have to do in the bud state, and open 

 the keel of the bud some time before 

 it is in full bloom, and put the foreign 

 pollen they require to fertilize with on 

 the stigma of the seed-bearing plant." 



No crop improvement is reported from 

 the California onion seed growers; any- 

 where from ten per cent to a full deliv- 

 ery, depending on the variety, is what 

 may be expected.
