with its lovely pink-red color, was most 

 admired. Other good novelties of the 

 same exhibitor were Rosalinde, Christo- 

 beles and Gartendirektor Trip. Several 

 local firms, such as J. C. Schmidt, F. 

 Sturm and Weigelt & Co., showed by 

 some beautiful designs, wreaths and 

 hampers, entirely composed of autumn 

 asters, what these flowers are worth 

 in the hands of a clever florist. 



The number of varieties sent was very 

 large; all were properly labeled and so 

 gave every friend of these beautiful 

 autumn blooms an opportunity for a 

 close study of, and acquaintance with, 

 the best old and new sorts. 



I do not doubt that in a very few 

 years autumn asters will be used in parks 

 and gardens on a much greater scale 

 than is the case at present. A very good 

 and faithful friend of them died only 

 recently, F. Trip, the superintendent of 

 public parks in Hanover. He was a 

 great admirer of all autumn asters and 

 used them with great skill quite largely 

 in the decoration of the places under 

 his care. Many a landscape man was 

 able to benefit by a visit to the public 

 parks of Hanover in the months of Sep- 

 tember and October, when all the autumn 

 asters were in full flower. W. H

considerably smaller than last year, and, 

 as the bad weather has sadly affected 

 this species, the crop is small. The 

 market has already opened with high 

 prices, with certainty of an advance, as 

 last year's stock is exhausted. 



Alopecurus pratensis yields a poor 

 crop of satisfactory quality. The cleans- 

 ing of the original seed as delivered by 

 the growers is exceedingly tiresome and 

 wastes much time, in consequence eft the 

 maiden seed containing much Aira 

 caespitosa, which can only be separated 

 by specially constructed machines, and 

 occasions a loss in weight of fifteen per 

 cent to twenty per cent. The first-class 

 qualities therefore command high prices. 

 The power of germination is fair. 



Avena elatior produces a small medium 

 crop of satisfactory quality. Avena 

 flavescens only cropped in a few favored 

 places and will not meet the demand. 



Bromus inermis yields only a short 

 crop, prices being higher than last sea- 

 son 's. 



Cynosurus cristatus has hardly yield- 

 ed a medium crop. Cutting was late and 

 the seed could only be housed under 

 difficulties.

Dactylis glomerata in New Zesiland is 

 forty to fifty per cent less than in for- 

 mer years. The quality is choice, but 

 the prices asked are exceptionally high 

 compared with previous years. America 

 reports an average crop and demands 

 equally high prices for choice parcels. 

 France promises a medium crop, where- 

 as Austria and Germany cannot supply 

 more than small quantities.
