By Peof. L. R. Taft. of Michigan Agricultural 

 College. A manual for florists and flower lovers on the 

 forcing of flowers, vegetables and fruits in greenhouses, 

 and the propagation and care of house plants. It treats 

 of all the plants commonly cultivated by florists and 

 amateurs, and explains in a thorough manner the meth- 

 ods that have been found most successful in gT9wing 

 them. Particular attention is paid to the growing of 

 cut flowers, the growing of fruits under glass, etc. Of 

 special value will be the directions for treating plants 

 when attacked by insects and fungi. The preparation 

 of the soil, the use of various manures, composts and 

 fertilizers, watering, ventilating; and heating receive 

 careful and minute attention. Cloth. 400 pages. 91.S0

BOSTON NOTES. 



f Concluded from page 18.] 

 flowers were killed. What we urgently 

 need now is a soaking rain ; everything is 

 distressingly dry. 



W. E. Turner, of Woburn, is first in 

 the market with a fine grade of pansies, 

 as well as single violets in quantity. 



Mann Bros., of Bandolph, at the Boston 

 Flower Exchange, are handling quantities 

 of fine dahlias. They are again growing 

 an immense quantity of Dutch, French 

 and other bulbs, and will soon be market- 

 ing Paper Whites in quantity. 



Among S. J. Goddard's output at pres- 

 ent are fine Pink Delight, Dorothy Gor- 

 don, Winsor and other carnations, also an 

 excellent lot of early mums. 



W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, is once 

 more in the field with quantities of 

 Campbell violets, which he grows of ex- 

 cellent quality. He has lately devoted his 

 houses to cucumbers and tomatoes. 



There is great disappointment over the 

 cutting .out of the chrysanthemum show 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety this fall. Boston can, however, 

 afford this omission better than most of 

 the other cities, which only hold one 

 show a year, while Boston has many. 

 Exhibitions next year will more than 

 compensate for any omissions in 1910. 



At Thomas Roland 's big plant factory 

 at Nahant the houses are filled to over- 

 flowing with beautifully grown plants. 

 Lorraines and cyclamens are seen in large 

 pumbers and of finer quality than ever 

 before, and there is a large variety of 

 'other choice stock. 



\ J. T. Butterworth has an unusually 

 fine lot of Cattleya labiata this season, 

 sheaths with five to seven flowers being 

 common. He also has some good oncid- 

 iums, Dendrobium Phalaenopsis and other 

 orchids. He has received as usual a big 

 lot of Dutch and French bulbous stock.

FRANKLIN, PA. 



Philip Bell, of the Bell Floral Co., re- 

 turned at the end of September from a 

 trip to Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie, 

 Mich., where he went on account of the 

 hay fever, from which he has suffered 

 for thirty years. He did not have a 

 touch of it while in the north, but re- 

 turned too soon, for he was attacked by 

 it on the way home. He called at the 

 Breitmeyer store in Detroit and also at 

 the Jones-Russell Co. and the J. M. 

 Gasser Co. stores in Cleveland. 



The Bell Floral Co. recently had the 

 decoration for the opening of the new 

 clothing store of Printz Bros. The store 

 and fixtures are the blue-green mission 

 finish. Palms and ferns with southern 

 smilax were used, with a number of 

 vases of cut flowers. Roses were given 

 to each lady visitor during the opening. 



EAST MANCHESTER, N. H. 



The East Manchester Dahlia Gardens, 

 managed by two ladies, Mrs. J. f! 

 Dickey and Miss P. A. Woodman, are 

 growing, this season, 3.50 varieties, in- 

 cluding many new European sorts. 

 They made a large exhibit at the Roch- 

 ester fair and captured a number of 

 prizes. Souvenir de Gustave Doazon 

 they have grown ten inches in diameter 

 this season. The demand for both roots 

 and cut flowers they have found good. 



Rochester, N. H.— Melvin Folsom has 

 been making improvements at hi* 

 greenhouses, on North Main street.
