•white roses. There ^ere large white silk 

 globes on wicker standards, lighted with 

 electric lights. The globes were decorated 

 with asparagus and white brchids. At 

 the house Killarney and Beauty roses 

 were used. The main feature was the 

 conservatory. This had a number of 

 balls of Killarney roses hung at various 

 heights, with piiJk ribbons intermingled 

 with pink paper roses over electric 

 globes. The walls were done in as- 

 paragus. Palms and crotons were used 

 for banking. The Gude Bros. Co. has 

 just turned on the steam in its two new 

 houses, . a fern house 28x260 and a 

 forcing house 10x260.

Westvuue, N. H. — A. D. Emerson 

 began business about fifteen years ago as 

 a grower of vegetables. This branch of 

 the business he still follows, with in- 

 creasing success. "With his vegetable 

 plants he has made a specialty of aster 

 and pansy plants, his pansy plants being 

 grown from seed of his own importation. 

 About three or four years ago he made 

 Ms entrance into the cut flower trade by 

 starting to grow violets, and since then 

 he has added the growing of carnations. 

 His house of carnations, 24x102, speaks 

 well for his skill as a grower.
