Mention The Rerlew when yon write. 



Trees and shrubs have suffered as 

 much as vegetables from the drought. 

 Many are already almost denuded of 

 foliage. Forest fires have done a large 

 amount of damage. Some rain on Au- 

 gust 24 happily put out many fires. 



Eeturning delegates from the Phila- 

 delphia convention speak in unstinted 

 terms of the vrarm welcome accorded 

 them in the Quaker City. The tempera- 

 ture was just right and the convention 

 the best ever held. Niagara Falls should 

 prove a popular rallying ground for New 

 Englanders in 1908. 



Indications are for a big attendance 

 at the gardeners' and florists' field day 

 at the Bay State Nurseries, North Ab- 

 ington, on August 31. The train will 

 leave South station at 12:43. Dinner 

 will be served on the arrival of the party 

 at 1:30 p. m., after which the nurseries 

 will be inspected. 



Anderson & Williams are again send- 

 ing in extra fine consignments of Bou- 

 vardia Humboldtii, which proves a use- 

 ful variety for late summer and fall 

 blooming outdoors. 



Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Westwood and 

 family are enjoying a vacation at Hyan- 

 nis, Mass. 



J. K. Alexander, of East Bridgewater, 

 reports dahlias as looking remarkably 

 well, in spite of the prolonged drought. 



Chrysanthemum growers who have 

 stock outdoors are reporting much dam- 

 age from the chinch-bug.

BEST CUCUMBERS FOR FORCING. 



Please state the best variety of cucum- 

 ber to plant for greenhouse culture. 



W. N. T. 



There are three distinct types of forc- 

 ing cucumbers, as the White Spine, the 

 extra long, smooth English type and a 

 half-breed cross of the common White 

 Spine on the so-called English varieties. 

 I do not know of any more reason for 

 the name of English cucumber than the 

 calling of our native potato the Irish 

 potato, as there are many different 

 strains of these long, eel-like cucumbers 

 grown in almost ^1 countries of the 

 world. The English gardeners have bet- 

 ter success with this type and also find a 

 better market for them, so they are 

 grown almost exclnsively in that country 

 and to the highest possible state of per- 

 fection. Many have tried to introduce 

 them into the markets in this country, 

 but the people do noft take to them and 

 they do not sell for nearly as much 

 money as a nice grade of White Spine 

 only one-half or one-third as large. Al- 

 most every grower who tries a house of 

 them, even when the crop is excellent, is 

 sorry for it. It is generally predicted 

 that this type will never be popular in 

 this country. When crossed on the 

 White Spine variety an excellent strain 

 is sometimes obtained, which has tlie 

 strength of the English parent and a 

 fruit almost exactly like the White 

 Spine, but much larger. Many growers 

 in this country now use some such strain 

 of their own production. But for the 

 majority of greenhouse men there is 

 nothing any more profitable or satisfac- 

 tory than the common White Spine forc- 

 ing cucumber, many different strains of 

 which are advertised in the Beview. It
