ST. JOHNS, MICH. 



The portable house and greenhouse 

 stock of the bankrupt Charles H. Manley 

 Company of this city was sold at auc- 

 tion, April 30, to George H. Chapman of 

 this city for $2,620. Mr. Chapman 

 started the business soon after Mr. Man- 

 ley was declared a bankrupt. A stock 

 company has been organized for the 

 purpose of erecting a suitable building 

 for Mr. Chapman, to be placed on the 

 land bought from the St. John Table 

 Company of Cadillac, and will have a 

 side track from the Grand Trunk rail- 

 road. Work was begun on the building 

 April 29 and is to be completed as soon 

 as possible. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting and flo- 

 ral display of the New Jersey Floricul- 

 tural Society took place May 3, with 

 John White, Jr., of Elizabeth, as essay- 

 ist and "Landscape Gardening" for the 

 topic. Among the exhibitors of orchids 

 were the following: Julius Roehrs Co., 

 of Rutherford, Cattleya Mossia?, C. Mar- 

 tinelli, C. Mendellii and Lselia purpu- 

 rata; Joseph A. Manaa, of West Or- 

 ange, Cypripedium Morgania;, a hybrid 

 of C. Stonei x C. superbiens, and Cat- 

 tleya William Murray, a hybrid of C. 

 Lawreneeana x C. Mendellii, a fine flower 

 never before exhibited in this country, 

 and awarded a first-class certificate* Be- 

 sides the usual array from private es- 

 tates, there were also a number of plates 

 of cut pansy blooms from John White, 

 of Elizabeth, of his own strains; those 

 of purple and white, with radiating pen- 

 ciled lines from the eye, attracted par- 

 ticular attention. J. B. D. 



PEONY-FLOWERED DAHLIAS. 



Although the peony-flowered dahlias, 

 which originated in Germany a few years 

 since, are not regarded with much favor 

 by a considerable number of dahlia fan- 

 ciers, they are, by reason of their dis- 

 tinct character and effectiveness, steadily 

 becoming popular with owners of gar- 

 dens who base their estimate of these 

 flowers upon their decorative value. The 

 varieties at present in commerce are 

 somewhat too robust in growth for gar- 

 dens of limited dimensions, and the flow- 

 ers of some lack the refinement character- 

 istic of the show and fancy varieties. 

 Yet their distinctness, and their attract- 

 iveness when grown under conditions

Hobbies Limited, of Dereham, England, 

 have grown them somewhat largely from 

 the time of their introduction into that 

 country, and, as the result of their ex- 

 perience, they regard them as possessing 

 considerable merit for garden decoration. 

 They have not only grown them in their 

 nurseries for the purpose of enabling 

 visitors to become acquainted with them, 

 but last year they exhibited them some- 

 what extensively, and contributed a large 

 collection of cut blooms to several of the 

 meetings of the Royal Horticultural So- 

 ciety held towards the close of the sum- 

 mer. These collections were effectively 

 arranged and attracted much attention, 

 more especially from visitors who care

but little for florists' ideals. Messrs. 

 Hobbies have not only grown the peony- 

 flowered dahlias, but they have turned 

 their attention to their further develop- 

 ment, and have raised some promising 

 varieties. One of these, Nicholas II, has 

 large, pure white blooms, with broad 

 florets, which are more regularly arranged 

 than are those of the flowers of the vari- 

 eties introduced .from Germany. The va- 

 riety is very free in blooming and the 

 horticultural press in England says it is 

 of much interest as indicating the possi- 

 bilities of this new type.
