 house and asked his wife whether she 

 had seen the Countess of Shaftesbury. 

 She replied, "Yes, I saw her portrait 

 in the paper. She had twins," 



The prescription for exterminating 

 the tarnish bug, printed in last week's 

 Beview, is being diligently used by 

 growers of mums in this locality. Some 

 means of coping with this pest is 

 urgently needed. The cutworms have 

 also proved a serious evil to growers 

 this year; possibly the remedy for tar- 

 nish bugs may help to destroy the cut- 

 worms also. 



Bain is badly needed for all outside 

 crops. "We have had a phenomenally 

 warm summer, the temperature for the 

 year being over 400 degrees in excess 

 of the average. While there has been 

 only a deficiency of three-fourths of an 

 inch in the average rainfall, most of 

 the rains came in January; since June 

 there has been scarcely a shower,

The Market. 



There has been practically no change 

 in market conditions, except that an 

 almost total lack of funeral work has 

 caused stock to accumulate in most of 

 the stores. Sweet peas are holding up 

 fairly well, considering the hot, dry 

 weather. Gladioli are in full crop and 

 ^6 of excellent quality, especially Amer- 

 ica and Mrs. Francis King. Carnations 

 *nd roses are about as usual, Kubrum 

 and auratum lilies are arriving in quan- 

 tity and the quality is all that could be 

 asked for. 



Few of the growers are regretting the 

 probable lack of bulbs this year, believ- 

 ing rhat the absence of bulbous flowers 

 from the market will make a better de- 

 nian(l for roses and carnations, in which 

 there is more real profit. 



Various Notes,

 ind' r cover and planted with carna- 

 tion . All indications point to a most 

 successful and profitable season ahead.

Although several of the florists are 

 vitally interested in the European war, 

 thus far but one has actually responded 

 to the call to arms. Ed, Connuville, 

 who has been employed as decorator 

 and florist at the Hotel Davenport, left 

 last week, accompanied by two cooks 

 from the same establishment. They ex- 

 pected to take passage from New York 

 and will serve in the French army, in 

 which Mr, Connuville holds an officer's 

 commission, 



A, J. Burt has received word that a 

 part of his bulbs have arrived in New 

 York and are now on their way across 

 the continent. He has a number of 

 azaleas, kept over from last winter, 

 which are in fine condition, so the pos- 

 sible shortage of new stock from Bel- 

 gium will not be felt so strongly.
