but are not good setters here. Orchids 

 are practically nil. Cosmos is abun- 

 dant, but is small yet. Sweet sultans 

 and cornflowers do not sell as well as a 

 month ago. There is an abundance of 

 asparagus and adiantum, without much 

 demand. 



Varioiis Notes. 



The Boston delegates to. the S. A. F. 

 ; convention started to return August 

 ' 25, and all were loud in their praises 

 of Chicago and the treatment accorded 

 them. Everyone considered the trade 

 exhibition the best they had ever seen, 

 and the absence of the usual conven- 

 tion hot wave made their visit most 

 enjoyable. Everyone here was de- 

 lighted to hear of the election of our 

 worthy and esteemed Bostonian, John 

 K. M. L. Farquhar, to the presidency, 

 and we are convinced that he will 

 make good in this office. 



William H. Elliott, at Madbury, N. 

 H., is growing nearly 20,000 of the 

 Christy Miller rose. It proves an ex- 

 cellent summer rose. Mr. Elliott will 

 run it until the new year, then rest it 

 and start up for a spring crop. Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward has also proven itself a 

 good summer bloomer. Some Lady 

 Hillingdon and Sunburst are also 

 planted this season. Some half dozen 

 varieties of Killarney are being grown, 

 but Bon Silene and Safrano have been 

 dropped. Quite a few varieties have 

 been tried as summer bloomers. Out- 

 doors Mr. Elliott has grown a quantity 

 of asters and sweet peas. He is par- 

 ticularly proud of his large acreage of 

 mangel-wurzels grown for his cattle, 

 many of which will average seventy- 

 five tons to the acre this season. 



The Sutermeister estate, of Readville, 

 is busy boxing and potting off bulbs. 

 They received a consignment of Dutch 

 narcissi ahead of the French ones this 

 season. 



The Montrose Greenhouses, through 

 E. A. Stickel, has for the season un- 

 usually good Deep Pink, White and 

 Double White Killarney roses, also 

 nice Perles and Wards. 



Peter M. Miller left August 25 for 

 a week's business trip to New York in 

 the interests of his firm, the T. ,T. 

 Grey Co.
