neral orders, there are now a number of 

 weddings, but the more important of 

 these will come a little later. A win- 

 dow of Gladiolus America with On- 

 eidium Rogersii and the Mexican poppy, 

 Hunnemannia fumariaefolia, made a 

 pretty picture. They continue their fine 

 aquatic displays. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. report their 

 August business as normal and they are 

 full of optimism as to the future. 



The West Street Greenhouses, of 

 Reading, are starting to pick a nice 

 crop of such carnations as Beacon, Pink 

 Delight, Benora, Mrs. Ward, Fenn, 

 White Wonder and the old Queen. They 

 also have some fine seedlings. They aro 

 sending in some superior asters and 

 bachelor's buttons. 



Recent callers included: W. A. Manda, 

 South Orange, X. .T.; David Smith, of 

 Thomas Smith & Son, Stranraer, Scot- 

 land; H. A, Barnard, of Stuart, Low & 

 Co., Enfield, Ilngland; Ernest Bockman, 

 of Bassett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., 

 and Maurice Fuld, New York. The last 

 named delivered a couple of floricul- 

 tural lectures at Gloucester, Mass., for 

 the benefit of the American Red Cross 

 Society. 



Harry Quint reports business at his 

 new store as satisfactory. He will make 

 considerable improvement in it within 

 the next few weeks. While away on 

 his vacation he spent a few days in Mon- 

 treal and was wonderfully impressed 

 with the business possibilities there. 



Peirce Bros., of Waltham, have nearly 

 their whole establishment devoted to 

 roses. They are cutting nice crops of 

 Ophelia, Taft, Sunburst, Killarney 

 Queen and Mme. Cecile Brunner. They 

 also have a fine lot of adiantum. 



The attendance at the children's gar- 

 den show at Horticultural hall, Septem- 

 ber 5 and 6, broke all records, showing 

 the wonderfully increased interest mani- 

 fested in this phase of horticulture. 



The W. W. Edgar Co. reports Cin- 

 cinnati and Lorraine begonias, cycla- 

 mens and poinsettias never looked bet- 

 ter. They are busy now potting and 

 tubbing hydrangeas. They are hopeful 

 of receiving some azalea shipments via 

 Rotterdam, but the freight will be much 

 heavier and long delays are more than 

 probable. 



Mann Bros, have a large part of their 

 Dutch bulbs already in the soil. Among 

 other flowers they are now getting some

The 'finest display of children's cut 

 flowers the writer has seen was that 

 given by the Waltham JElbme Garden 

 Association in the high school of that 

 city, September 12. It easily surpassed 

 that of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society. The exhibits were well staged 

 and all were neatly labeled. Great 

 credit is due the energetic lady instruc- 

 tor, Miss Louise Fay, for such a splen- 

 did showing at the ninth exhibition 

 given by the children of the watch city. 

 Premiums here are given in the form 

 of framed certificates, books and sets of 

 tools. It was quite inspiring to see over 

 800 people here, adults and children, lis- 

 ten to a floricultural talk and show no 

 Higns of restlessness. 



A. E. E. Koch, of Nobseot. is already- 

 in the market with yellow marguerites. 

 He also has bachelor's buttons, .isterx
