All the plants contained in the green- 

 houses of the J. N. Hodgson Co., bank- 

 rupt, were disposed of at auction Novem- 

 ber 4. There were present at the sale a 

 number of buyers, but their number did 

 not in the least interfere with the secur- 

 ing of unheard-of bargains in plants. 

 An idea of the ridiculously low prices 

 ruling at the sale may be had from the 

 fact that kentias in large and small lots 

 in 3%-inch and 4-inch pots sold for less 

 than 1 cent each, while large plants sold 

 at equally low figures. Joseph Leikens, 

 Oscar Schultz, V. A. Vanicek, Carl Jur- 

 geus, Gibson Bros., Samuel Smith and 

 D. Mcintosh were the heaviest' buyers. 

 "While the sale of plants was in progress 

 and conducted by G. C. O'Neill, the real 

 estate on which the greenhouses and oth- 

 er property stand was also put up for 

 sale by another auctioneer and knocked 

 down to Mr. Spaulding for a trifle over 

 $11,000. 



About a month ago the gardening 

 fraternity was surprised by the an- 

 nouncement that Alex Adam was vacat- 

 ing his position as superintendent for 

 Alfred Vanderbilt at Oakland Farm. 

 This week we were again taken un- 

 awares by the announcement that W. 

 Butter, who officiates in a like capacity 

 for Reginald Vanderbilt, will after De- 

 cember 1 no longer hold that position. 



Arthur Griffin has returned from his 

 European trip, buoyant in spirits and 

 looking the picture of health. A return 

 to the scenes of the labors of bis youth.
