lOO Live Goldfish Free. 



We are giving away, FREE of all cliarge. to one florist in each 

 town. 100 live, healthy Goldfish. The florist can give one Fish to 

 each customer as a premium and thereby increase his regular sales. 

 The majority of people who never handled Goldfish have the mistaken idea that Goldfish die very rapidly and are a great care. Handle fish as we 

 instruct and you will not lose two out of a hundred and they will be but little care. There is nothing that :^ou can put in your window that 

 will attract more attention than Goldfish.

Various Notes. 



William A. Biggs, of Jamaica Plain, 

 has purchased and will operate the 

 John G. Forbes place at Auburndale. 



Andrew Christensen returned from 

 his European trip October 13 per S. S. 

 Lusitania. He had beautiful weather 

 while away, and thoroughly enjoyed 

 his visit. While the bulk of his time 

 was spent at his old home in Denmark, 

 he found time for a trip up the Rhine 

 in Germany, also Sweden, France and 

 England. He was particularly im- 

 pressed with the Parisian parks and 

 boulevards, the municipal markets 

 there and elsewhere in Europe for the 

 sale of cut flowers and plants among 

 other produce exciting his admiration, 

 and he feels that it would be a wonder- 

 ful benefit to the growers and greatly 

 increase cut flower sales here if pro- 

 ducer and consumer could be brought 

 together in the same way. In England 

 carnations seen, such as Enchantress, 

 Fair Maid, Winsor and other American 

 varieties, were of grand quality, equal 

 to our best winter blooms. Boses were 

 also fine and cheap. 



S. J. Goddard is stDl having great 

 success with Carnation Helen Goddard. 

 Granite State, one of George E. Bux- 

 ton's white seedlings, is proving free. 

 Winsor, Pink Delight, White Enchant- 

 ress and Beacon are good. During his 

 recent European trip Mr. Goddard met 

 most of the leading English growers of 

 carnations, and several are planning to 

 visit America at the time of the na- 

 tional show in Boston next spring. At 

 C. Engelmann's big establishment at 

 Saffron Walden, carnations planted out 

 were doing remarkably well. The bulk 

 of growers, however, prefer pot culture. 

 The quality of flowers seen was fine, 

 equal to the best produced here. Brit- 

 annia and Mrs. Burnett, which are not 

 successes here, were superb there, on 

 long, strong stems. We have much 

 to learn from Great Britain in staging 

 carnations, sweet peas and other flow- 

 ers tastefully. Paul Crampe' geranium, 

 as seen bedded out, was wonderful, as 

 were the tuberous begonias, some dou- 

 bles carrying' flowers six and one-half 

 to seven inches across. The new dou- 

 ble white marguerite was a grand ac- 

 quisition. Malmaison carnations were 

 fine, and Mr. Goddard brought some
