[ralVERY now and then a well 

 IsSI pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

jiromised. The nominating committee 

 to select a list of ofiicers for the com- 

 ing year will he appointed. 



.\t the I'.roidvton fair. New England's 

 leading autumn carnival, held October 

 I to f), the floricultural show was large- 

 ly of dahlias from such well-known 

 growers as ,1. K. Alexander. Geo. H. 

 Walker. W. 1). Ifathaway. .Tohnson & 

 Hall. \V. P. Lothrop, Mrs. H. A. .Tahn 



and others. W^aban Conservatories 

 showed a line vase of Wellesley rose 

 through their Brockton agent, W. W. 

 Hathaway. Paid admissions on October 

 i» totaled 78,000, with gate receipts of 

 .'f!.3'.',000. Possibly if the managers of 

 the coming national flower show can 

 arrange for ;i Midway of the Brock 

 tonian stamp as a side issue, they may 

 be able to approximate the foregoing 

 attendance. Shrewsbury, England's 

 greatest show, combines the two. Why 

 not try it at Chicago? 



Welch Bros, have .just rounded out 

 thirty years as :i commission firm, ma- 

 king them probably the oldest firm of 

 the kind in the country. As most of 

 their growers have increased their glass 

 area this season and new firms arc shij>- 

 ping to them, they anticipate a banner 

 season for cut flowers and other lines 

 which they handle. 



Mann Bros., of I^andolph, have becu 

 marketing some fine dahlias. They 

 li.ave an unusually fine lot of winter 

 blooming stock of various kinds in pots 

 for the coming season. 



Thomas I'eglcr, as usual, was first in 

 the fi(dd with blooms of Campbell vio 

 lets, of nice (piality for early October. 



.September gave us a rainfall of over 

 seven and one-half inches. Of this 

 amount three and one-quarter inches 

 fell September 29. 



Edward flatch, tho rcspccte.l secie 

 tary of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 <Jlub, is a director of 

 Trust Co., which opened 

 business October 1. 



H. A. Jahn, of New 

 his new white seedling carnation is 

 looking splendid this season and will 

 be hoard from at the coming exhibi 

 tions. 



Wellesley rose from Waban Conserva- 

 tories is coming in of fine quality. This 

 rose has a liost of friends and grows in
