trial grounds of D. M. Ferry & Co., the 

 largest trial grounds he had ever seen, 

 where there were 750 lots of edible peas 

 in cultivation, and neatness and order 

 were seen everywhere. The banquet and 

 the excursion tendered to the seedsmen 

 by Ferry & Co. were also subjects of fa- 

 vorable comment. 



In closing, Mr. Atkinson humorously 

 described one of the toastmaster 's anec- 

 dotes at the banquet, a hit at Philadel- 

 phia: "One man asserts to another that 

 he can name the city from whence each 

 man comes — this hustler comes from Chi- 

 cago ; that prosperous looking chap, from 

 New York; that man of culture, from 

 Boston; that fellow over there, from 

 Philadelphia. *Oh no,' the last named 

 man objects, *I am not from Philadel- 

 phia. I have been ill for three weeks. ' ' ' 

 Never mind, Philadelphia gets there; in 

 good tipie, too. 



The Planting of Winsor. 



It is a generally admitted fact that 

 the pink carnation Winsor is the best 

 commercial variety in its class today and 

 that this variety does best when planted 

 out in the houses from pots in the be- 

 ginning of the season; that is, it is not 

 planted in the field at all. The confidence 

 felt in Winsor is shown by the numbers 

 known to be benched by a few of the 

 carnation growers. Henry Weiss & Son 

 have 8,000 at Hatboro. Edward A. 

 Stroud has nearly as many at Strafford; 

 so also have A. Harvey & Sons at Bran- 

 dywine Summit. These are merely taken 

 as examples, to show the drift of the 

 times. 



Trial Grounds. 



Every Review reader knows that 

 Henry A. Dreer has the finest place in 

 America, at Riverton, N. J., and an- 

 other big farm a few miles farther off. 

 but not everybody knows that the com- 

 pany has a trial ground at Palmyra, 

 N. J., adjoining the home of the secre- 

 tary, J. Otto Thilow, these grounds cov- 

 ering about one acre and devoted to test- 

 ing vegetable seeds and growing them 

 to maturity. The objects of the tests 

 are to see that each variety is true to 

 name and description and that it is 

 worthy of a place in the garden.
