ester next month. The conventionists 

 will leave here Monday, August 15, at 

 10 o'clock, and arrive at Rochester 

 Tuesday at 9:20 a. m., on the Knicker- 

 bocker special. The fare will be $23.16 

 for the round trip and sleeper $4 each 

 way. 



The apple growers will hold their an- 

 nual meeting here for two days, August 

 10 and 11, at the Planters' hotel. The 

 trustees of the Missouri Botanical Gar- 

 den have arranged for the annual Shaw 

 dinner during their stay. Many florists, 

 nurserymen and market gardeners are 

 invited. Apple growers will be here 

 from all parts of the United States and 

 Canada. The executive committee is 

 now at work arranging a program for 

 the meeting. J. J. B.

soon wilt and burn up. A certain num- 

 ber of plants will probably show "the 

 yellows. ' ' Pull up and destroy these. 

 If the black aster beetles appear and 

 band picking proves ineffective, it is 

 better to spray the plants with weak 

 Paris green water. Any slight discolor- 

 ation of white flowers is easily re- 

 moved by merely dipping the heads in 

 water after picking. 



Schizanthus Wisetonensis. 



Schizanthus Wisetonensis makes one 

 of the most beautiful of pot plants, and 

 ita keeping qualities when cut are equal 

 to those of carnations. A nice batch 

 at Christmas should sell well, as the 

 plants have such a bushy, neat and at 

 the same time graceful appearance. Sow 

 the seeds in flats. Pot off singly when 

 large enough to handle and keep the 

 plants potted along, using 6-inch or 

 7-inch pots at the final shift. A cold- 

 frame will be even better than a green- 

 house for the plants for the next eight 

 or ten weeks. Keep the little plants 

 pinched freely until the early part of 

 October. This insures more compact 

 plants. The other varieties of schizan- 

 thus, such as grandiflorus, oculatus and 

 retuBus albus, are pretty, but too tall 

 growing for pot plants. There are im- 

 proved types of S. Wisetonensis offered, 

 with flowers of double the size of the 

 original type. Schizanthus wants cool 

 house culture at all times.

maximum King Edward VII is the best. 

 The flowers now open are of immense 

 size, pure white in color and carried 

 on stems three to four feet long. As a 

 florists ' flower, this should prove useful. 

 It is easily raised from seed, of simple 

 culture, perfectly winter hardy and 

 blooms at a time when good flowers are 

 none too abundant. I have seen mag- 

 nificent clumps of this variety six feet 

 in height near the seashore, bat further 

 inland it, in common with many more 

 hot weather flowering perennials and 

 annuals, does not su^^eed so well. 



Seed sown now will produce quite 

 good-sized plants before fall. These can 

 either be planted out iii October and 

 covered with a light mnlch when the 

 ground freezes, or carried over in a 

 coldframe and planted out in April. 

 The plants, will be much finer the sec-
