Letters to the press bureau of the 

 National Council of Horticulture indi- 

 cate that the experimental press service 

 being sent out by it is meeting with suc- 

 cess all over the country, as well as in 

 Chicago, where the Chicago Tribune and 

 the Chicago Daily News, the two leading 

 papers, are printing the articles. 



The managing editor of the Grand 

 Rapids (Mich.) Herald writes: "The 

 horticultural matter you are sending out 

 iv very timely, and I think much interest 

 >»juld be taken in it. How long is the 

 service to last, and can we depend on 

 having it exclusively in this field?" 



The managing editor of the St. Louis 

 Republic: "We shall use these con- 

 tributions in the Twice-a-Week edition 

 of the Republic, which has a large cir- 

 culation throughout the country." 



The Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, 

 Wash.; "We gladly give space to the 

 articles on horticulture sent by your 

 press bureau and shall be pleased to re- 

 ceive the supplemental articles." 



The Louisville Times: "The Times 

 will gladly publish the horticultural 

 articles you have just sent us. Thank- 



ing you for your courtesy, and with best 

 wishes. ' ' 



Madison (Wis.) Democrat: "The 

 horticultural articles I shall gladly run, 

 both ' in my daily and readyprints. I 

 suggest you keep them short like the 

 ones in hand. These are excellent, both 

 for length and matter." 



As stated in the Review last week, the 

 service has been sent, by James Burdett, 

 of Chicago, to more than a thousand 

 papers, by mailing direct or through 

 various press bureaus, all of which have 

 been glad tp handle the matter. 



PROFITABLE TULIPS. 



For some weeks we have had immense 

 quantities of tulips in Covent Garden 

 market, says the Horticultural Adver- 

 tiser, and with the excessive supplies the 

 prices have been considerably lower than 

 they were last season. Yet it is interest- 

 ing to note that special sorts have sold 

 well and maintained good prices. I find 

 it is the best doubles that make the 

 highest prices, and of these, Couronne 

 d'Or is a special favorite. The rich, 

 golden-yellow flowers resemble a Mare- 

 chal Niol rose, and when they are not 

 too far advanced when cut. they last a 

 long time in water. Couronne des Roses 

 is another favorite. Blanche Hative is a 

 fine white.
