The Wholesale and Retail Florists 



both depend upon their refrigerators to determine whether 

 their stock shall sell or stay in the store. McCray Refrigera- 

 tors keep stock in such perfect, fresh and fragrant condition 

 that it cannot help selling, and the McCray uses less ice than 

 any other. It virtually pays for itself. The patented system 

 of air circulation which cools all parts evenly, thoroughly, and 

 with fresh, cold, dry air, is one of the features of 



McCray Refrigerators 



They are made in the most beautiful finish and substantial construc- 

 tion. They are lined with white enamel, or if you wish, you may have 

 tile, opal glass, mirrors or marble. 



Tnere is a wide range of regular sizes of McCray Refrigerators for 

 immediate shipment, although we build them to order for any requirement. 



You should have our Catalog No. 71, wbicb 

 describes the detail of these successful and 

 economical refrigerators for the Qorist,

cium Trevianuni, Leycesteria formosa, 

 tender shrub; Berberis (Mahonia) aqui- 

 folium, Avonia arbutifolia, Hippophae 

 rhamnoides, Quercus macrocarpa, Q. bi- 

 color and Euonymus atropurpureus. 

 There were scores of other beautiful va- 

 rieties shown, the whole being a striking 

 example of the wealth of autumnal 

 beauty to be had in shrubberies from the 

 fruit alone. 



Although there were no classes for 

 flowers, W. W. Bawson & Co. had an ex- 

 tensive and artistically arranged display 

 of dahlias, branches of autumn foliage 

 being used with them to excellent ad- 

 vantage. Had the collection been named 

 instead of numbered it would, however, 

 have been more interesting. The same 

 firm had a nice table of seedling dahlias 

 and a large table of gladioli and single 

 tuberoses, prettily arranged with autumn 

 foliage and hardy asters. Mrs. L. E. 

 Towle had a dahlia display and A. E. 

 Hartshorn tuberous begonias. 



Various Notes. 



The garden committee of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society visited the 

 estate of W. S. & J. T. Spaulding, F. E. 

 €ole gardener, at Beverly, October 7. 

 Great improvements are being made on 

 land recently acquired. The extensive 

 vegetable houses contained a wide range 

 of varieties grown for winter use. Large 

 rose gardens, formal gardens and other 

 features are being developed under a 

 competent landscape architect at great 

 expense. ■ The committee also visited the 

 rose garden of Mrs. Harriet D. Foote, 

 Marblehead, where hundreds of varieties 

 of hardy sorts are grown, hybrid teas 

 doing especially well, and were kindly 

 entertained by C. W. Parker after an in- 

 spection of that gentleman's estate, Red- 

 gate; Marblehead. 



H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is bringing 

 in remarkably fine flowers of Campbell 

 violets for so early in the season. 



At the meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, October 20, the speaker 

 of the evening will be William Downs, 

 vice-president of the club, on the subject 

 of "Fruit Culture Under Glass.". There 

 will be interesting exhibits of chrysan- 

 themums, carnations and other season- 

 able flowers. 



Indications now point to a successful 

 chrysanthemum show November 6 to 9.

 superior to that of 1907. 



William Sim exhibited a well grown 

 collection of sweet potatoes, grown at 

 Clifton^le, at the show in Horticultural 

 hall, October 10. 



A. Roper, of Tewljsbury, has already 

 some extra fine flowers on his new vari- 

 egated seedling carnation, Bay State, 

 which will be introduced next season. 



William NicMblson reports his carna- 

 tions as doing unusually well this season 

 and being now in heavy crop. He is 

 cutting fine blooms of Pacific, Polly 

 Rose, Rosiere and other early chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



Leading dahlia specialists here are 

 practically unanimous in stating that late 

 planting of dahlias, using dry roots, 

 gives much better results than early 

 planting. W. N. Craio.
