the most rosy expectations of the firm. 

 It is a good location. They offered 

 nothing but the highest grades in every 

 line of stock. 



William Plumb, representing Mr. 

 Troy, of New York, visited Newport 

 last week, renewing old acquaintances 

 and quietly looking around in the inter- 

 est of his employer. 



Rural Progress Conference* 



The Rural Progress Conference was 

 lu'ld here on Tuesday and Wednesday 

 last week. From the interest taken in 

 tlie preparations for the conference, it 

 might very reasonably have been sup- 

 jtosed the proceedings would turn out 

 interesting from a horticultural point 

 of view; but, apart from whatever of 

 interest there may be in grange work 

 and agricultural colleges, the first day 

 of the conference was not of much in- 

 terest to gardeners or florists. 



For the second day Professor Bailey, 

 of Cornell University, was secured to 

 make an address and he did make an 

 address and a good one, but not on any 

 subject connected with horticulture; 

 hence the disappointment of the garden- 

 ers and florists who attended. The fail- 

 ure of Professor Bailey in this respect 

 was, doubtless, no fault of his. It was 

 arranged, no doubt, with the best in- 

 tentions by the farmers on the commit- 

 tee, who, I suppose, could not resist the 

 temptation this opportunity afforded of 

 placing their ancient calling upon as 

 high a plane as an address on "Agri- 

 culture" by Professor Bailey afforded. 



Among the other speakers at the con- 

 ference were : 



Dexter M. Eogers, in charge of 

 United States gipsy moth work in New 

 England; Professor Wheeler, President 

 Butterfield, of Amherst College, and 

 I'rofessor Edwards, of the Ehode Island 

 Agricultural College. B. K. 



Henderson, Ky. — C. A. Morgan, for- 

 merly of Madisonville, is now manager 

 of the Morgan Floral Co., this being a 

 new firm that has bought the stock and 

 leased the place of W. R. Conover. 



DiGHTON, Mass. — Manager Place, of 

 the Dighton Nursery Co., has hired the 

 greenhouse of the Macker estate and 

 will use it when he transplants his bed- 

 ding stock. He had Easter exhibits in 

 Taunton and Fall Eiver.
