'^Cention The Review when you write. 



Marshall gardener; M. B. Fuller, J. 

 Fleuti gardener. 



The Westchester County Horticultural 

 and Agricultural Society is all alive. It 

 will hold another exhibition in the 

 autumn, in addition to the chrysanthe- 

 mum show. The work of the various 

 members is increasing the interest of a 

 great many amateurs in this locality. 



The judges, who gave complete satis- 

 faction, were Harry A. Bunyard, of New 

 York, and Robert Angus, of Tarrytown. 



VEST GROVE, PA. 



P. J. Lynch recently returned from a 

 business trip to the middle west. 



The venerable Charles Dingee now 

 rides in a new automobile. 



N. Leon Wintzer, of the Henry A. 

 Dreer Nursery, is spending a day or 

 two with his father, Antoine Wintzer. 



The Dingee & Conard Co. is making 

 preparations for planting a large crop 

 of mushrooms for the fall market. 



Gaston Benard, the prosperous Avon- 

 dale florist, has become an enthusiastic 

 motorist. He has purchased a five horse- 

 power motorcycle and is frequently seen 

 speeding on the fine macadam roads. 



S. Morris Jones, treasurer of the 

 Conard & Jones Co., takes great pride 

 in his fine vegetable garden. Mr. Jones 

 is an expert at gardening and attends 

 to this part of his many duties in the 

 early morning. 



The West Grove Civic Club is active 

 in its work this summer. Under its aus- 

 pices a lecture on the subject, ' ' How to 

 Improve Our Home Surroundings," has 

 been held. Many prizes are offered as 

 aa incentive to keep lawns and grounds 



in a neat condition. The geranium con- 

 test, -which is confined to the children, is 

 a unique and interesting one. To stim- 

 ulate interest and pride in the growing 

 of plants, each child between the ages 

 of 6 and 15 years, upon payment of 5 

 cents, is given a 4-inch pot geranium, 

 and toward the end of the season judges 

 wU award suitable prizes for the best 

 and largest plants. Robert Pyle, presi- 

 dent of the Conard & Jones Co., is a 

 leading member of the Civic Club and 

 it is largely due to his initiative and in- 

 spiration that so much work in this di- 

 rection is being done. J. M. L. 



NEW BEDFORD. MASS. 



The Market. 



Th.e cut flower trade remains about the 

 same as last week, with the usual sum- 

 mer dullness. Funeral work, however, 

 is good, using up lots of the surplus 

 flowers. Carnations are quite plentiful 

 now J 35 cents per dozen retail is the 

 price. Eoses are selling at $1 to $1.50 

 per dozen retail. These are of fair 

 quality. Sweet peas bring 75 cents and 

 $1 per hundred blooms. Outdoor roses 

 are now coming into bloom; also a few 

 swee-t peas. Carnations are looking well 

 in tb.e field. About all of the mum stock 

 is planted out in the benches now. 



Tbie call for geraniums and other bed- 

 ding- plants for this season is about 

 over. This has been a good year for 

 these, with prices somewhere near those 

 of other years. School graduations will 

 be haere in another week or so and the 

 florists are looking forward to a good 

 call for flowers. The weather is still 



warm, with occasional showers, making it 

 ideal growing weather. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. S. Brown, the florist, is adver- 

 tising a new method of spraying and car- 

 ing for trees on private grounds and 

 streets. 



Wm. P. Peirce still keeps up his good 

 window displays. Julius Rositzky is the 

 efficient manager here. W. L. 



ERIE, PA. 



The Market 



The peony is king at present. It is 

 being used in large numbers for decorat- 

 ing purposes. Tea roses are somewhat 

 on the decline, as the hot weather is 

 affecting them. American Beauty and 

 Bhea Eeid are as good as ever. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. Kasting and 

 two little sons, of Buffalo, N. Y., have 

 arrived to spend the summer months in 

 Erie. They are the guests of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Wise, of the Erie Floral Co. 



Chas. Schiff has returned from his 

 vacation, spent in Buffalo and Rochester. 



G. Henry Baur • has returned from 

 Philadelphia, where he is a law student 

 at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. 

 Baur will spend, some time .^n the offices 

 of Gunnison, Rilling & Fish this sum- 

 mer. B. P.
