NASHUA, N. H. 



During the last summer George E. 

 Buxton has remodeled one house from a 

 three-quarter span to an even-span 

 house, giving him a fine additional grow- 

 ing house, 30x125. A building for the 

 storage of cut flowers has also been 

 added, and another boiler of ninety 

 horse-power is at present being installed. 

 His carnation stock, which includes all 

 the leading varieties, looks unusually 

 well. Mr. Buxton October 16 will cele- 

 brate his twenty-fifth year in the florists' 

 business. He still looks quite youthful. 

 He has some extra fine seedling carna- 

 tions. 



Stephen Chase, who has hitherto grown 

 carnations quite largely, has dropped 

 them and is now devoting his energies to 

 the growing of geraniums and cucum- 

 bers; with the latter he has been success- 

 ful. 



W. W. Powers has added to his flower 

 business the new fad of hammered brass 

 and is doing a rushing business in this 

 line, being obliged to make long days to 

 fill his orders. 



That Charles H. Blake is prospering a 

 new, modern, two-tenement house serves 

 as evidence. 



J. F. Hammar has about 5,000 mums 

 which are looking first-class. 



George H. Hopkins has a new tree 

 spraying preparation which he has per- 

 fected and applied for patent rights on. 

 It has proved sure death to all leaf-eating 

 insects, and the park commissioners of 

 Boston and other cities will be asked to 

 give it a trial. W. N. C. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The season that is now drawing near 

 a close at Newport might be rightfully 

 called a floral season. The florists of 

 the city, those who make Newport their 

 year-round business point, and those who 

 only spend the summer months in the 

 city, have had a busy summer. 



Flowers have always been used exten- 

 sively for table and other house decora- 

 tions during the summer social season in 

 Newport, and this summer there has not 

 been a social event, no matter how small, 

 but there have been some floral decora- 

 tions. At some of the larger dinners 

 this year the arrangements of flowers 

 have bordered on the magnificent, espe- 

 cially the decorations that were used for 

 the large dinner that was given by Mrs. 

 Herman Oelrichs and by Mrs. J. Mitchell 

 Clarke, who had her dining hall turned 

 into a regular small Italian garden. 



Gardenias have been the popular bou-

tonnieres, as last year, and there is 

 always a great demand for these sweet 

 flowers, no matter what the price may be. 

 Several times during the summer the sup- 

 ply in Newport has been exhausted and 

 rush orders were sent to New York and 

 Boston for supplies, and high prices were 

 paid for the sake of having these sweet- 

 smelling blossoms grace the top of the 

 dinner table finger bowls. 



The presentation of flowers has also 

 seemed to be one of the popular pastimes 

 of some of the social set this season, 

 floral tokens being sent on the slightest 

 provocation.
