ing contest, has his end of it in good 

 shape. The contests will be pulled off at 

 the Northern Kentucky Gun Club, lo- 

 cated at Dayton, Ky. This club is 

 ideally equipped for the contest, and 

 everything is of the best. Mr. Gardener 

 has prepared a surprise in the way of an 

 exhibition of fine shooting by a young 

 lady who is a member of the gun club 

 and one of the best lady shots in this 

 country. This event will be a great 

 drawing card for the shooting contests, 

 afad we are looking for a good crowd to 

 be present. 



There is not much more to say at pres- 

 ent that has not been said before. The 

 one thing of most importance is to im- 

 press upon everyone how anxious we are 

 to have them be with us commencing 

 August 17. Preparations are being made 

 to give you as good a time as possible; 

 besides that, we are promising you a 

 series of meetings of the national society 

 that will be the most interesting and 

 instructive that have ever been held. At 

 the same time, don't forget the trade 

 exhibit. This alone will pay any progres- 

 sive florist for what little time and money 

 it costs him to attend the convention. 

 The trade exhibit is going to be a great 

 one this year, and any florist who does 

 not pick up enough ideas, from what he 

 sees there, to more than pay him, surely 

 needs to visit an oculist. So come one 

 and all, and we will do our best to make 

 you more than welcome.

NOTES ALONG THE HUDSON. 



H. J. Osterhoudt, of New Hamburg, 

 superintendent of the W. P. Clyde estate, 

 has a splendid collection of dahlias that 

 are the pride of the Hudson valley and 

 has done much to make this flower so 

 peculiar to this locality. A large exhibit 

 will be made, at the annual dahlia show, 

 held at Wappinger's Falls, at which com- 

 petition is very keen. 



W. A. Hart, of East Walden, is a close 

 second, growing thousands of the leading 

 varieties for a New York seed house. 



Laub & Wilson, at Hughsonville, have 

 carnations and violets in fine shape; the 

 drought is causing the plants to make 

 a stockier growth. They irrigate when 

 necessary. Young smilax is very healthy. 

 Large numbers are sold every season. 



Wood Bros., of Fishkill, are having a 

 time to supply Kaiserin, owing to the 



gum AM

 do a large shipping trade solely through 

 advertising. "Lou" Wood expressed 

 himself as well satisfied with results 

 from their ad in the Review. 



Joseph Wood, of Spring Valley, is 

 the first with asters for the New York 

 market. There is something in the soil 

 here which gives plants unusual vigor, 

 with size of bloom. Smilax and lilies 

 nre specialties. 



Conrad Gindra, of Poughkeepsie, has 

 finished part of his new plant and when 

 ^•ompleted, next season, will have one 

 of the show places in the valley. 



Murphy & Schaumbaum report a most

 main business thoroughfare. 



Saltford Flower Shop folks are busy 

 putting their elegant store in shape for

 uated within easy reach of the store. 



R. W. Allen, at Hudson, says tl; ' 

 crowd may look for him at the con 

 vention. He is busy shaping things U|' 

 and feels he deserves a rest and change. 

 He is assured of both at the Queen Git}. 

 which is so fortunate as to welcome th" 

 big delegation promised from this v - 

 cinity. 



Henry Hansen, of Catskill, intends g( ■ 

 ing to the convention. He says it is mac.' 

 years since he tasted of western hos- 

 pitality, but is assured the trip will 

 repay him in every way. He has a fine 

 place, covering four city blocks. 



Valentine Burgevin's Sons, of Kings- 

 ton, will make a team that will show our 

 western craftsmen the sort of materi.il 

 that has sprung up on the borders ot 

 our American Rhine. Hendrick Hudson 

 landed here when on his famous voyag'' 

 of discovery and some claim he built " 

 greenhouse. Anyhow here is the oldest
