Various Notes. 



The Greenhouse Vegetable Growers' 

 and Market Gardeners' Association of 

 America, beginning Tuesday, September 

 27, held a three days' convention in this 

 city. There were exhibits of green- 

 house material, heating apparatus and 

 irrigating systems. However, the real, 

 live issue of the convention was a dis- 

 cussion in reference to the discrimina- 

 tion of railroad and express companies. 

 It is expected that as a result an appeal 

 will be made to the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission to investigate exist- 

 ing conditions, and if possible remedy 

 them. G« ^' C. 



Buffalo, N. Y. — At the recent Toronto 

 exhibition photographs of table decora- 

 tions by W. J. Palmer & Son were
