We had several really cold days last 

 week, the temperature varying between 

 20 and 30 degrees above zero. This is a 

 rather quiet time for the florists, just be- 

 fore the Christmas rush. The end of the 

 mum season is well in sight; good flow- 

 ers are seen in white only. Poinsettias 

 have made their appearance and are look- 

 ing quite attractive in the display win- 

 dows. Crotons, red dracsenas and Pan- 

 danus Yeitchii are seen in handsome 

 specimen plants. 



Vaxioui Notet. 



R. E. Hall, of Reed & Keller, New 

 York, was in the city last week. He says 

 business is picking up all along the line 

 and is particularly good in the west. 



Miss T. Baur has returned from a visit 

 in Welland, Canada. 



F. E. Selkregg of Northeast, Pa., was 

 in the city on business a few days ago.

THREE OLD-TIME FAVORITES. 



The sweet william, the wall flower and 

 the pentstemon are three of the many 

 old-time favorites that are coming back 

 into quite general demand and cultiva- 

 tion. 



The sweet william is one of the easiest 

 to cultivate of all the plants commonly 

 known, and it is hardy everywhere. 



The wall flower is just as hardy as the 

 sweet william, but not such a profuse 

 bloomer, nor so well adapted for plant- 

 ing in so many different locations. 



Pentstemons are not hardy and they 

 will not stand outdoors in the winter. 

 They are easily propagated from cut- 

 tings of plants that have been potted 

 and kept all winter in a cool house. 

 Growth for cuttings will make its appear- 

 ance shortly after the plants are excited 

 by a little heat. They are also propa- 

 gated easily from seed. M. 



PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y. — Conrad Gindra 

 has built three new houses this season, 

 each 30x120, growing roses, carnations 

 and mums. The old houses also were re- 

 modeled. He grows a general collec- 

 tion of stock for retail trade, having 

 the old Fricker property.
