M, C. Silver has settled in Brodhead, 

 Wis., in the nursery business. 



William H. Bacus, a nurseryman of 

 Nebo, Mo., has raised a new grape, which 

 he has named Belle of Pike. 



ViCTOE Detbiche, of Angers, France, 

 known to nurserymen the world over 

 died September 7, aged 54 years. ' 



It is reported that a large nursery will 

 be started soon at Athens, Ga., by T. W. 

 Dennington, formerly of Lavonia, Ga. 



It is reported that C. S. Harrison, 

 York, Neb., has made an offer of $10,000 

 to a Colorado college provided the col- 

 lege raises an equal amount elsewhere. 



Harry J. Lamke, who has been in 

 charge of the Cold Brook greenhouses, 

 at Lenox, Mass., has bought the Percy 

 Reynolds farm of 100 acres at Rich- 

 mond, Mass., and will start a nursery. 



The Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards 

 Co. has brought suit against the Utah 

 Lake, Land, Water & Power Co., of 

 Provo, Utah, to collect $579.09, alleged to 

 be due for nursery plants delivered to 

 the defendant company, 



William A. Peterson, proprietor of 

 Peterson Nursery, Chicago, is more than 

 pleased with the way the peony business 

 IS developing this season. Early orders 

 were not as numerous or as heavy as in 

 some preceding years, but now that plant- 

 ing time has arrived the response from 

 the retail catalogue is turning out to be 

 .'xcellent. According to Mr. Peterson, the 

 demand for small lots of the best varie- 

 ties for home planting is greater than it 

 ever has been before and the retail sales 

 are well ahead of last year. 



The government is now carrying on in- 

 vestigative work at regular forest experi- 

 ment stations similar to the agricultural 

 experiment stations in the different 

 states. The first forest experiment sta- 

 tion created in this country was the Co- 

 conino Experiment Station, at Flagstaff, 

 Arizona, established last summer. Inves- 

 tigations covering many phases of fores- 

 try in the southwest have already been 

 undertaken at this station. The second 

 forest experiment station has been estab- 

 lished this year on Pike's Peak, Colorado. 



SPIRAEA THUNBERGII. 



Will Spiraea Thunbergii stand to be 

 closely pruned in low hedge form from 

 one to two feet tall? G. H. P. 



Spiraea Thunbergii will staud shearing 

 and can be used as a dwarf hedge plant. 

 The necessary trimming will, however, re- 

 move all the flowering wood. If you want 

 a closer hedge, Berberis Thunbergii will 

 be preferable. It stands close trimming, 

 although much of its beauty is thereby 

 removed. Spiraea Anthony Waterer makes 

 a neat little hedge for bordering walks. 

 Deutzia gracilis and D. Lemoinei each 

 make neat, compact hedges, while Ligus- 

 trum Ibota and L. Regelianum are hardy 

 and thoroBghly reliable. C. W.

Trade conditions changed little during 

 last week. Asters are much to the bad 

 and getting poorer every day. Eoses and 

 carnations are much improved. Cosmos 

 is now arriving in quantity and sells ■well 

 at the price. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Grace Newland, proprietor of 

 Newland & Co., is in New York city to 

 spend a few days. 



William Legg has erected a new house, 

 18x50, to increase his space for bedding 

 plants. 



The regular weekly roll of the Florists ' 

 Club bowlers took place September 27 

 and was Avell attended. New faces ap- 

 peared and the old standbys made it an 

 enjoyable evening. The boys, being a 

 little better acquainted with the alleys, 

 rolled some excellent scores. The florists' 

 team is also entered in one of the city 

 tournaments and is now tied for first 

 place. R. A. S. 



MIAMI, FLA. 



Mrs. S. E. Warner, of the Miami Flo- 

 ral Co., is spending several weeks with 

 iier parents at Palm Beach, the most 

 noted of Florida's famous winter re- 

 sorts, where is located the Hotel Royal 

 Poinciana, said to be the largest hotel 

 in the world. 



J. W. Warner, manager of the Miami 

 Floral Co., with his children, has just 

 returned from an outing of several weeks, 

 spent at his boyhood home, at Atlanta, 

 Ga., where he has extensive interests and 

 many friends. 



.T. H. Payne, prrsidcnt of the .Jackson- 

 ville Floral Co., recently paid his first 

 visit to the lower east coast section and 

 was highly pleased with what he saw, 

 especially in the Avay of tropical flori- 

 culture as grown at Miami. It was a 

 revelation to him. T'onditions in Florida 

 this fall are better than before in years 

 and the outlook for a grand season 's 

 l)usiness could not be brighter.
