C. C. POLLWORTH CO., 



Milwaukee, Wis. 



Mention The Kevlew when Tim write 



N. Pierson's beds. The recent cold 

 nights slightly affected a few tender 

 plants. 



Penn is featuring made-up pans and 

 other receptacles of A»pletium Nidus- 

 Avis, or bird's nest fern, and French 

 baskets of roses. They are condtieting 

 an extensive advertising campaign for 

 the fall weddings, for which they have 

 already received many orders. 



Walter Holden is receiving fine Bea- 

 con carnations from H. L. Shedd, of 

 South Lowell. He has been shipping 

 many thousands of asters to Chicago the 

 last few days. 



The J. A.Budlong & Sons Co., Auburn, 

 R. L, will start cutting Beauty roses 

 in a few days. They planted 0,000 this 

 season. Among particularly good roses 

 with them just now, J. L. Mock, Stan- 

 ley, Kussell and Sunburst are worthy of 

 note. Double White Killarney is getting 

 short and Killarney Brilliant is not yet 

 selling specially well. 



Duncan Finlayson, W. X. Craig and 

 E. B. Wilder judged the grange exhibits 

 at the Wakefield and Heading fair Sei>- 

 tember 16. Competition was keen and 

 in one class where $700 was awarded for 

 the finest grange exhibit the display was 

 a superb one. 



The Boston Flower Exchange reports 

 a satisfactory rental of stalls for the 

 coming season. The Boston Cooperative 

 Market has few stalls unsold; its last 

 auction sale broke all records. 



H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, has tiie 

 finest salpiglossis seen at the wholesale 

 markets. It is sold, in most cases, be- 

 fore being unpacked. 



The annual fruit and vegetable show 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety will be held October 3 and 4. The 

 chrvsanthemum show comes November 5

GREENWICH, CONN, 



Tiiere was a fine attendance at thq 

 monthly meeting of the Westchester 

 and Fairfield Horticultural Society, held 

 in Doran's hall, September 11, Presi- 

 dent Robert Williamson in the chair. 

 Two new "iilembers were elected .and 

 several proposals were received. 



The committee,,! n charge of the fall 

 show reported that the schedule will be 

 issued shortly. Several additional offers 

 of prizes were received. 



This society was probably more large- 

 ly represented at the recent S. A. F. 

 convention than any other. Our party 

 was royally entertained by the New 

 York Florists ' Club and it was voted to 

 extend the thanks of the society for 

 this hospitality. 



A feature of the meeting was the 

 competition for the prizes offered by 

 Andrew Kennedy for the best three 

 vases of outdoor flowers. The tables 



were filled to overflowing with a 

 splendid display'. The prize-winning lot 

 were staged by P. W. Popp, who had 

 hydrangea, helianthus and cosmos. The 

 second prize went .to Fred Lagerstam. 

 Among the non-cofmpetitive exhibits 

 .James Linane was highly commended 

 for a fine vase of gladioli; a vote of 

 thanks went to A. Whitelaw f o r a 

 specimen cantaloupe, Marvin, and a 

 cultural certificate was awarded to P. 

 W. Popp for a display of thirty-two 

 named sorts of gladioli. 



At the next meeting, October 9, there 

 will be an exhibition of dahlias, for 

 which prizes will be awarded.

The Market. 



As colder weather is setting in, trade 

 is improving satisfactorily. Several 

 funerals in the last few days enabled 

 most of the stores to clean up on al! 

 available stock daily. A few carnations 

 are coming in now and are eagerly 

 sought after. Roses are improving, but 

 there are not enougJi of them to supply 

 the demand. Blooming plants are be- 

 ginning to come in and thej- find a 

 ready sale. The writer noticed some 

 fine plants of cyclamen, Begonia lunii- 

 nosa and B. Prima Donna.
