good humor. The speakers were Geo. 

 L. Spratt, Jolin K. Van Warner, Lewis 

 Stuyvesant Chandler, Prof. Jordan, of 

 the Go\ernment experiment station at 

 Geneva, and the Rev. Wni. Eucliler. The 

 song by Prof. King and the recitations 

 bv Richard O'Connell and Mr. Mattern 

 added greatly to the evening's enjoy-

Variouf Notes. 



To visit the florists of Poughkeepsie 

 and the violet growers within a few- 

 miles of that city would easily use up 

 a ^^eek, so that in the few hours at our 

 disposal we were unable to see them all. 



The showing of violets at Thos. DeVoy 

 & Son 's is superb, maintaining the repu- 

 tation of this firm for a quarter of a 

 century. A stock of the famous Tele- 

 graph geranium will be ready for the 

 spring demand and a house of lilies 

 shows perfect condition. Preparations 

 are also made for the usual tomato and 

 lettuce distribution later on. Mr. De 

 Voy, Sr., is in fine health at 73 years. 



The marriage of Miss DeVoy Avill 

 take place on Saturday and the wedding 

 bouquet will naturally be home-grown 

 violets. Mr. DeVoy thinks there will lie 

 no surj)lus of violets because of the con- 

 tinued increase of greenhouse building 

 in Dutchess county and says the field is 

 widening so rapidly and the calls from 

 Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities 

 are so persistent that no ])ossibility of 

 the supply exceeding the demand need 

 be feared. 



Near the plant of DeVoy & Son ia the 

 establisliment of Isaac Fricker, where a 

 general assortment is grown under about 

 20,000 square feet of glass. 



The Pinehurst Conservatories, 35,000 

 square feet, are well worth a visit. Here 

 Wm. G. Saltford reigns and every flower 

 grown is utilized in the retail store on 

 Main street, where his two sons conduct 

 a large and profitable business. His 

 seedling carnation, the flowers of which 

 average four indies, will be exhibited at 

 Toronto and oftered to the trade in the 

 spring of 1908. Its color is between 

 T^wson and Enchantress and great 

 things are expected of it. George Salt- 

 ford, of New York, is a brother of W. 

 G. Saltford. 



Richmond and Killarney are the popu- 

 lar roses this year with the thousand 

 Vassar girls, the Saltford boys tell me. 



Mrs. W. J, Lynch presides at her fine 

 store, assisted by her three sons, and 

 with a record of thirty-five years in the 

 same neighborhood may well be called 

 one of the pioneers. Twenty green- 

 houses, 30,000 square feet of glass, are 

 drawn upon for the daily needs.
