 column this week. 



Victor Felter, having completed his 

 residence and other buildings on his 

 farm recently purchased near Cherokee, 

 la., is now busily engaged in planting 

 a large nursery. 



NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



There will be a meeting of the Com- 

 mittee of Fifty in Niagara Falls, the 

 afternoon of Thursday, August 20, 1908. 

 This call is issued at the direction of 

 Chairman W. F. Kasting, who requests 

 that each member attend and that each 

 committee be ready with a comprehensive 

 report of work done and suggestions to 

 be offered. The work of the show must 

 be pushed from now until November. 

 On receipt of this notice please commu- 

 nicate with the chairman of your sub- 

 committee and assist him in preparing his 

 report. 



Publicity. 



Chairman George Asmus, of the pub- 

 licity committee, urges that all intend- 

 ing exhibitors in the National Flower 

 Show who have new varieties of carna- 

 tions, chrysanthemums, roses or any other 

 flower to enter, or novelties of any na- 

 ture, provide the publicity committee 

 with photographs of the same at the ear- 

 liest possible moment, in order that the 

 novelty may be written up for the news- 

 papers to the benefit of the show and the 

 exhibitor. Considerable advantage may 

 be gained by judgment in the choice of 

 names for new varieties. It is suggested 

 that newspapers show greater interest in 

 new varieties that are named for women 

 of social prominence, and by choosing the 

 name of such a woman in his own local- 

 ity for his novelty, the exhibitor would 

 confer a grateful compliment upon a pos- 

 sible customer and also help along the 

 show. This may seem a small matter, 

 but it is likely to have large effect upon 

 gate receipts. Photographs of the women 

 for whom new varieties are named should 

 be sent to the publicity committee wher- 

 ever possible. Photographs of flowers 

 for newspaper use should be made as 

 large as possible, showing no background 

 and detail as clear cut as can be made.

WORCESTER, MASS. 



The Salisbury Greenhouses. 



A good deal of indignation has been 

 aroused here by the reported decision 

 of the directors of the Art Museum to 

 abolish the Salisbury greenhouses, with 

 their rare and valuable collection of 

 plants, which are still being cared for 

 by Mr. Salisbury's gardener, John 

 Coulson. 



The reason given for dispensing with 

 the greenhouses is the cost of their main- 

 tenance, which is said to be about $2,500 

 per year, including the gardener's sal- 

 ary. But, since the museum has a large

income and is much more richly endowed 

 than most other institutions of the kind, 

 the general opinion seems to be that 

 there is no necessity for this reduction 

 of expenses. 



.ti.mong those who have protested 

 against this proposed action of the di- 

 rectors of the museum is Albert H. 

 Lange. A letter from him, which ap- 

 pears in a local paper, reads in part as 

 follows : 



"Not taking into consideration any 

 sentimental reasons, John Coulson can 

 give the Worcester Art Museum value 

 received for any salary that they may 

 pay him. I consider him (and I can 

 give you the names of some of the best 

 plantsmen in the country who think the 

 same) the best authority on begonias in 

 the United States. And that is only one 

 of the many species of plants that Mr. 

 Coulson is thoroughly posted on, both as 

 to nomenclature and growing. By all 

 meang save the greenhouses." 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Funeral work has been good, with hard 

 work to get white flowers. Carnations 

 have been thrown out to make room for 

 the young plants. Some of the growers 

 are already planting, while others are get- 

 ting things into shape. The only flowers 

 to be depended upon just now are the 

 asters. These have not done as well this 

 season, on account of the dry weather, 

 which is still on.
